...years of professional broadcasting in numerous formats taught me that jumbled programming so confuses the audience that you lose it almost entirely.

The second reason I wear gold is I can afford it. The third reason I wear it, it's symbolic of my African heritage. When my ancestors came from Africa, they were shackled by our neck, our wrists and our ankles in steel chains. I've turned those steel chains into gold to symbolize the fact that I'm still a slave, only my price...
