Again, if you listen to the show "sparingly", I don't understand how you can make a fair assessment. That's all I"m saying, darlin'. At only age 37 and being a [native] Chicagoan, I guess I'm a little biased about ol' Tom Joyner. He evolved here in Chgo radio and I grew up listening to him. I've listened to the TJMS since its inception, and I can tell you, TJ has made MANY changes. He listens to "who brought him to the dance", and has adjusted his show accordingly. Let's just agree that I am a TJMS fan and you are not [really]. Or what we need to jumpstart our respective mornings are decidedly different :-) Mike, I didn’t curse AT YOU.

The only reason I do tune in sparingly is to listen to their guests who address many of the issues specific to the black community as well as some of the entertainment performances, such as Eric Benet last Friday, which was great. But, a lot of the times the show is a little outdated and sometimes a little gossipy (which is typical of all radio programs)and sometimes my mood in the morning requires me not to play the radio (or CNN) but to engage in something more inspirational/ uplifting to encourage me through the morning and prepare to face that big old world out there... lol And, to be honest most mornings I don't want to hear old 70's music. It is 2008, my dear. I love Ledisi too and Maysa and Frank McComb and Lalah's new Cd (i'm in love with Lalah all over again) and Joshua Redman or Jerome Sabbagh or Herbie Hancock's new one...Or sometimes I just need silence. So, there's no need to curse at me in defense of TJMS. I enjoy a lot of things in moderation. And, I am thankful for Mr. Joyner's work. I know Dr. Hill would be a suitable compliment to Jacque Reid and he would bring that youthful highly critical yet thougtful and sensitive male perspective that the show is missing. Does anyone know when the 8th candidate will be announced? Good afternoon chgosista…we are on the same page dear heart, for the most part.

Something doesnt sit right with me and the 'new' Marc. There's definitely been a change since you first started the blog and I am still searching to find out what that is. I will continue to support your blog but for now, I think it would be a mistake to have you on the show. I hope you understand where I'm coming from. ~Samara Marc:

I am not sure that this is the post under which to have the most complete conversation. Tanya, "homosexuality is wrong" is your opinion and appearentlty your interpretation of biblical scripture. You are certainly entitled to both of those. I am what you reffered to as a biblically sensible person and an ordained licensed minister. I am also gay and I do not agree with your assertion that homosexuality is a psychological ill or a defense mechanism. It is unfair to classify all gay and lesbian people as weak and unstable. Being weak and unstable does not or cannot make one gay, just as being strong and stable cannot make you straight. And I fail to see how a persons sexuality can be lumped into the same category as someone who is a pedophile. Trying to make that comparison really shows your ignorance. Finally, of all of the scripture you could have thrown out, I think equally yoked was probably the absolute weakest one you could have chosen. Its okay that you are against homosexuality but dont attempt to judge others and make decisions about who is moral and who is not moral based on your own man made yardstick. God is bigger than you and offers a grace and mercy that surpasses all of mankinds understanding..........and I am soooo thankful for that! Dr. Marc,

You have my vote! In the words of Beyonce...'He must not know bout' you'....you're awesome! If that doesn't work out I think you and Melissa should team up and start your own show on CNN or Fox! Marc,

Is Dr. Marc the 8th one and I just didn't see it? OK, so Tom only has SEVEN folks posted; however, all the text and other info says that there are EIGHT contenders.
