Lovely Day
EPISODE 347: One on one.
This, in brief, is the kind of feedback we’ve been getting because of this episode:
If nothing else, the untold story of what Rony Seikaly did for Magic Johnson — as carefully reported by PTFO’s house-music correspondent, Foster Kamer — is a palate cleanser.
It’s a reminder that not everyone conforms to the incentives and cruelty of modern celebrity.
And that private decency can, in fact, alter history.
I hope it makes you feel the way it made us feel.
YOUTUBE SPOILER ALERT:
Sincerely,
Pablo
I was Rony Seikaly’s agent during this period and was blown away by this piece .
When I say Rony would give you the shirt off his back, I mean that literally. He did that for me once in some heavy
rain… on your show Rony was trying to reference where he was ,what city, etc. When he learned about Magic,
I happen to have been there and it was in a Secaucus New
Jersey hotel as Heat were playing the Nets that night. I was in the lobby of that hotel when announcement was made. Every single player trainer, etc., immediately congregated in the lobby. Obviously they were all extremely upset and in denial, But I remember Ronnie kind of breaking down completely
Ron Siekly is a great DJ. My first time seeing him was as the Center who would replace Shaquille O’ Neal as Center for the Orlando Magic when Shaq signed with the Lakers. Nice elbow jumper jump shot. If he played today in this era he might be Jokic.
