Charlamagne Tha God on ‘The Breakfast Club’ is, in my opinion, the best personality on the radio right now. We talk weekly. We couldn’t be any different format wise, but we have a very similar background and approach. Bobby Bones Read Quote
Authenticity in any format is important, so I try as hard as I can to stay as real as possible. Bobby Bones Read Quote
I think funny comes from tragedy and time. And I think that’s where I get it. I’m able to take things that are serious and sad, and turn it into funny. In all honesty – this is after a lot of therapy – I think that, you know, I need love from something, and so now, I find it through performing. Bobby Bones Read Quote
Country music listeners really like genuineness, and I hope that’s what we portray, and I think that’s what we do. Bobby Bones Read Quote
I think I felt very alone for a lot of my life, but once I was able to share my story more and more, and people wouldn’t say, ‘Hey, I felt sorry for you,’ but, ‘I get it, and I understand you,’ it kind of encouraged me to tell it more. I just don’t want people to feel alone. Bobby Bones Read Quote
I think that I represent people that sometimes don’t have a voice because of how they grew up or where they grew up or the options that were given to them. I was able to kick my way out of that, but we have a real class problem in this country, where it’s hard to jump classes. Bobby Bones Read Quote
Instead of the wacky morning show that sounds canned, my team is sitting over there, waiting for me to say something or ask something. And sometimes the reaction is awesome, and sometimes it’s terrible. But they’re reacting as humans instead of as DJs. Bobby Bones Read Quote
At 13, I volunteered at the radio station. My first job was cleaning up when I was 17, and before I really started, they fired people for stealing station equipment, and I was on the air. Bobby Bones Read Quote
