On the Air: Regrets.

 

Dick Clark as DJ oh so long ago

..And...We're back, taking calls to answer the question of "Regrets?  Looking back on my life..."  First caller on line one.

Radio Bob: So, let's hear it, big fella.  What can you say looking back on your life?

Anonymous:  I'll state it clear...I've lived a life that's...uh...full.  I've traveled down each and every highway...

Radio Bob:  So, you're a traveling man, who lives in cheap motels? Away from the family, huh.  Any regrets?

Anonymous: Regrets?  I've had a few, but then, too few to mention…

Radio Bob: Oh, one of those.  Love 'em and leave 'em?

Anonymous: I did what I had to do...saw through without exemption...


Radio  Bob: Let me guess:  you planned each careful step, right? Had to, I imagine.

Anonymous: But, through it all…I ate it up and spit it out…faced it all and stood ta…


Radio  Bob:  I see.  A life of love, laugh, and tears, right?  Yours or your family?  Ever think about 'em?  I mean, didn't you ever think about losing them?

Anonymous:  I’ve had my share of losing, but…now I find it all so amusing!  To think I did all that and…

Radio Bob: AMUSING? But, you’re not shy, are you?  Not humble at all! I bet you shout...

Anonymous: Oh, no, oh, no, not me!  I did it my way!

Radio  Bob: Well, then, what IS a man, not a sleezy guy like yourself?  What has he got?  If not his family, what is important?

Anonymous: Yes!  If not himself, then he has naught!  To say the things he truly feels…

Radio  Bob: NAUGHT? NAUGHT? Big word for a obnoxious man. Sure, but these are not the words of one ...?

Anonymous:  ...who kneels!  The record shows…Yes!  I took the blows!

Radio Bob Well, I'd love to land some blows on you, you narcissistic bastard.  You got a record, a felony record?
  

Anonymous:  And did it my way!  Yes, it was my way…

Radio Bob:  Right, buddy.  Whatever you say.  Next caller, line 2...
