Early Influences:

Jeff has loved music ever since he can remember. He was very young, but can remember seeing the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show. He loved Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, and was a Deadhead for years, which he credits as being the gateway to all forms of traditional American music: blues, country, jazz, rock, etc.

Jeff has been greatly influenced by Gandhi, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Eugene Debs, John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, Malcolm X (for whom his son, Max, is named after), along with Dennis Kucinich, Paul Wellstone, and most of all, Thomas Jefferson.

Professional Career:

After college, Jeff worked in New York City for ad agencies and on a documentary series, “The Eagle and The Bear”, which looked at the history of US-Soviet relations through the prism of the Cold War. They did 52 episodes on A&E.

Jeff and his wife, Tammy, were in the Indiana band, “Bathtub Virgins”, together. They produced two CD's, and made a film, “Summertime”, that captured a year of their lives in Southern Indiana as told in song. The film aired on PBS stations in the Midwest and was featured at the New York Film Festival in 1998. Jeff along with the bands he was in, have been the opening acts for many notable music talents:

Ben Harper Richard Thompson Buddy Guy Ralph Stanley The Gourds Wayne Hancock Nanci Griffith Patty Larkin Chris Whitley

Jeff is also a partner in an Indy Record Label, Rustic Records.

Broadcasting:

In October of 2003, Jeff joined the Howard Dean campaign and met Mike Newcomb through a mutual friend. That meeting led him to a job as producer for the, “Dr. Mike Show”, at KFNX, out of Phoenix, AZ. Jeff and Dr. Mike worked for KFNX from June 2004 to April of 2005.

After a series of fill ins and a move to the new Air America station KXXT Jeff was given a weekend show called the, “Truth to Power Hour”, which he co-hosted with AZ Rep. Kyrsten Sinema, from July 2005 to February 2006. Jeff was sole host of the program from March 2006 to March 2007. When KXXT was sold to a Christian broadcasting station, KPHX was created and Jeff became Head of Production.

In addition to his weekend show, now a solo effort, he also produced the weekend line-up and all the ads and promos for the station. Jeff was also producer and sometimes host of the morning drive show with Dr Mike.

Political Philosophy:

Jeff opens his show with a tune from his friend Ben Harper and a quote from JFK. The Ben Harper tune is, “Ground on Down”, and the JFK quote: “If by a 'Liberal' they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people — their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties — someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a 'Liberal,' then I'm proud to say I'm a 'Liberal'."

- Acceptance of the New York Liberal Party nomination (14 September 1960)

I submitted the article in this space, was that the wrong thing to do?
I don't know if I did the right thing, and the article looks different than I wrote it, but it is all there.

It is just a short bio of a radio talk show host in Phoenix, AZ. His counterparts have their bios on Wiki, and I thought he should, too.

I emailed him and asked him all the questions that I thought the others had on their sites, and added a list of his favorite music, and his accomplishments in the music industry. He read it and has no problem with it.

Is it okay?

If so, what do I need to do then?

And, can I add his publicity pic?

Thank you so much, you have been very kind to look this over for me.

Enchantedmoondrop (talk) 21:33, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

how will i know if the article is acceptable?
I am just curious, who will let me know, and how will I find out if the article is acceptable?

Who will help me with the pic?

Thank you

 * At the moment it is completely original research - it needs to be sourced, and cleaned up. &mdash; neuro  (talk)  23:14, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

my source is the man i wrote about
Thanks for the help, now how do I source it? It was given to me by answering my questions to him in emails.

There are also websites for the groups and things

So how do I source

Thanks, and don't forget the pic I want to use

Thanks, again.

 * Unfortunately, he does not qualify as a reliable source. The claims made in the article must have been published in third-party sources. &mdash; neuro  (talk)  00:11, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

If that is true then few, if any of bios done on radio talk are sourced
Neuro,

Check out the early life histories on Mike Malloy, Randi Rhodes, Thom Hartmann, they could not have possibly been 'sourced' but only by the persons being written about.

As for the CD's and shows Jeff has done, those were on air, and are real life objects...many on amazon.

Autobiographies and biographies are done by 'anecdotal information' from the person themselves, or said to the writer...

so it doesn't make sense to say he is not a 'source'

do you need written permission this is true stuff?

I am not trying to be argumentative, just don't understand what the criteria is here.

Just because something is in print, like in entertainment weekly, doesn't make it true, either.

So, I am confused. There's no bragadosio going on here. Just a resume like thing.

Thank you,

 * Wikipedia has different standards and methods of ensuring reliability than publishers may. Just because the problem exists with other articles, it does not entitle another article to do the same. &mdash; neuro  (talk)  00:45, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Is the trick here asking the specifically correct question the exact right way?
That was not very illuminating about sources is it?

What does Wiki REQUIRE for BIOGRAPHICAL sources if the person who had the history is automatically discredited as being a liar about themselves?

Is that specific enough?

helpme

How can a person 'source' first hand biographical information that will be acceptable for a wiki entry?
