The Name of This Blog:

You may be curious about the name of this blog.  Well, does anyone remember Joe Pyne.  He was one of the first well-known national talk show hosts.  I think he worked out of the San Francisco area during the '60's.  He didn't take phone calls.  I think his show was pre-recorded.   And one of his specialties was antagonizing his guests.

 

For some reason, as a teen-ager, I enjoyed listening to him.  And he would end every show by saying, "This is Joe Pine.  Thanks for listening, and straight ahead!"

 

I loved that ending!  For me, it suggested a straightforward style that wasn't intimidated by anything or anybody.  I kind of adopted that line myself--especially during my college days.  And from time to time, I would come back to it!  That's what I want this blog to be--straightforward and clear!  Of course, it won't all be deadly serious or confrontational.  But I hope it will be----Straight ahead!  

Straight ahead!  See my blog at:   www.noblindbluff.blogspot.com
