I'm flattered by your tagline, but I stole that from Michael Berry, another Houston radio talk host, and City Councilman, so I really don't need to be attributed. Thanks.
It took forever to get ahold of him, but it was a kind of thrill to hear myself on the radio.
BUSTED!
Yammerin' on the dang radio in his youth . .
Hey, calm down and try to enjoy the rest of your day! ;-)
Thanks for giving me the correct sourcing.....
Now, I am not sure if Jon's FM talk show was public service or a platform for him to explore his own fantasies.
I hope and pray the state is wrong and Jon is not a creepy old man that asks little girl if they would like to play with his puppy.
That was when I was young and ignorant, not near-omniscient like now.
That's indeed a sad commentary on society today. You men have to be so cautious that you seem curt. Any time you're around a little girl the first thing on your mind is SEX CRIME, SEX CRIME!
Even we women are suspects if we're strangers. Sad.
And we can lay the blame squarely at the feet of sicko people like Jon.
He did plead guilty.
Place your money on "A creepy old man"
" OTOH, Barney Fwank is still running loose in New England....but that, apparently, is OK."
Apparently the difference between consenting adults and exploiting children is alien to some.
So you called Jon Mathews and asked him for advice on teenage girls?
Did he suggest you buy a puppy?
Naw, I was whining about all the taxes the government took out of my paycheck.
When your 16 and workin' at Jack-in-the-box, every dime counts.
Jon never seemed to be as upstanding as manager/host Dan Patrick (who cited God in his life repeatedly, unlike Jon Matthews).
This is not to say that Jon was ammoral or immoral, just not clear in espousing the same standard as others at the station.
Wasn't he on 97Rock in the Moby years?
The entire Dan Patrick team was released from Clear Channel's KPRC950AM in a local election year. I certainly think the move was political (and the station manager who came in wanted an end to the "God talk" and "bill numbers" of legislation). They put in brash loudmouths from outta town (and one had to change his spoken politics from lib to conservative).
Barney Frank had a prostitution ring running out of his office. Consenting adults be damned, the landmark SC decision STILL did not legalize prostitution.
Jon was a local hero in Sugar Land when I was a teenager. The DA, cops and judges were his friends, no way he was set up.
My uncle also reminded me of the times he would talk about the cute, very smart 11 year old neighbor of his on the radio. The guy is sick.
no it's not ok, but this ain't new england
My wife (who is in the medical field) always wondered if he may have had a small stroke/brain damage when he had his heart attack/bypass incident a few years before. This is known for sometimes changing behaviours/releasing inhibitions, etc.
One the reasons she says this is that it is very unusual for someone to just up and start this kind of thing in their 60's. And try as they might, the police were never able to find any prior history of this, no matter how hard they tried.
Someone no doubt also forced him to get drunk and engage in internet sex.

Hey, if it's all the same to you, I prefer the "clam down" admonition!
LOL!
