I like a show where I'm up and on top of things, playing loud music and hitting the points. I think it's more entertaining, I think people enjoy listening to that more. It reaches a younger crowd than traditional talk normally does." There's a definite disparity between the Jones on the radio and the Jones one talks to in person. In conversation he's undeniably warm and friendly, contrasting sharply with the abrasive voice shouting from the car speakers across the valley. According to Jones, though, the difference isn't really that significant. "I'm the same person on the radio. But at the same time, when your dealing with people in real life, you have a pact; you treat them with politeness. On the radio you're in a different arena an arena where you're supposed to be forceful, you're supposed to be passionate, you're supposed to be definite on things," he insists. And he is certainly passionate on the issues, if not a little extreme at times. He refers to former president Bill Clinton as the "Rapist in Chief;" he makes fun of Planned Parenthood for announcing that birth control has posi- - $1,000 GMGsdCairt T1 CQ7- - Finally got your degree.

I want my mono back!" Where did he pick up these ideas, and where does he get his inspiration and influence? Well, according to Jones, it's not from the obvious sources. "I purposely avoid listening to other talk show hosts. I once read a quote from Rush Limbaugh where he said, 'You will never be happy doing things somebody else's way.' " side-effect- s. The Limbaugh reference brings up an important issue. After all, Salt Lake City Weekly recently declared Jones the "best radio ranter in Utah," comparing him to the nationally syndicated conservative talk show host. "Everybody compares me to Rush. If you're in conservative talk, everybody's going to compare you to Rush. I listened to him for a while back in 1994; I used to watch his television show. So as far as opinions and politics go, he had some influence on me, but there are other people who had more influence." Consider taking filore offerings and more opportunities!

"That was odd. Because if you look at the rest of the paper, it's attacking conservatives and attacking republicans and attacking Mormons. And for me they have this long paragraph that is 100 accurate as far as I can telL.although I didn't know I was a until they told me. I'm not even sure what a is." Jones has dropped out of college four times, a fact he seems almost proud of. "I'm a Super Senior. I started college during the last Bush administration and during the Rodney King riots and the Clarence Thomas hearings." He insists that his indecisiveness has been an asset for him in radio. "I've majored in six or seven majors, so ( have a lot of background knowledge," which is beneficial, as "being a talk show host is like a weird game of Trivial Pursuit." And his indecision is over, anyway. "I'm going to be a talk show host I could be a computer programmer. Or I could be a lawyer or I could be an actor, but I love talk radio and everything else is just blah." |
