Tommy: He was a hell of a disc jockey. Yeah, and I remember when they had that Sound Off... He was the first one with that talk radio. Bob: Eh hmmm. Do you remember what year that was? Tommy: Ahh, Sound Off, it should have been in the early 70’s. Bob: It was. Tommy: uh huh. Bob: Well back then, there was nobody Black on the city council, Arrington had not gotten elected yet, what did he talk about as a talk show host? Tommy: Well, he would talk about the issues that were going on in Birmingham. And and… Bob: He talk about the Vietnam War? Tommy: Well, he talked about the Vietnam War plus he had been in the military too. Bob: hmm Tommy: Jimmy was a First Lieutenant when he came back here…… Bob: hmm Tommy: And he would talk about the situation with Birmingham because Birmingham wasn't the best city to be in back in those days because we had Blacks getting killed by policemen every week and all of it was justificable homicide. Bob: hmm Tommy: And basically and mainly we didn’t have nothing you know like voter registration, ah, we talked about integration and all this kind of stuff you know and equal opportunity for peoples. That was mainly his conversation and he didn’t hold anything back…. Bob: Did he ever get in any trouble with the authorities? Tommy: No, I don’t think Jimmy ever got into any trouble with the authorities because Jimmy was a little arrogant himself. He really didn’t hold nothing back. Bob: hmm Tommy: He didn’t hold back nothing on management, or anything. Jimmy Lawson was just Jimmy Lawson but he’s a real good friend of mine. We came through high school together. I think he got out of high school ah in 62 and I got out in 64.
