Do the words "Burns on line go ahead" mean anything to you??

I recall as a young kid going to the QE Theatre with my mom and dad
to support Burns after he was fired. The theatre was full and the
overflow packed the plaza in the rain. [ I think he was speaking inside
and recall him coming outside on a balcony or something to thank
everyone for their support ].

Jimmy Pattison
eventually destroyed CJOR when his religious zealotry got the best of him as it
often does, and he turned it into a christian rock station which was a
predictable failure.

A friend worked for Pattison in pr when he owned the Vancouver Blazers
of the WHA. One day he went into work and didn't recognize any of the
concession workers or ticket and program sellers. He found out Pattison
had fired all his paid staff and recruited members of his church as volunteers
to work the games. The next week the paid organist was history, replaced of
course by the unpaid volunteer organist from his church. It was at this point
my friend quit, he had a feeling the pastor would be sending out press
releases in the near future :-)

Jimmy Pattison is so phony, professing to be a Christian, all the while
committing the most un-Christian of acts. The irony is he of all people
better hope there ain't a God. g

Jim
