I recently read “Have you met Miss Jones,” the memoirs (if you will) of New York’s Hot 97 morning show DJ, Miss Jones.
I’ve always liked her, as a DJ and as a vocalist. When she was a guest DJ at Dayton, Ohio’s 102.9, I listened faithfully every night at 7 from my college dorm room. I have to admit that I never understood (and disagreed with) a lot of her viewpoints when she conducted interviews. But now that I’m in radio (I host a morning show in the Armed Forces) I have a better understanding, and I have a lot of respect for her. I still don't agree with a lot of her viewpoints, but that's on me.
What I do appreciate is the fact that she broke in a market that was male dominated, which makes it easier for black women like me trying to make it in the same industry.
I’m really happy that I’ve read her book, and I hope that others take the time to do read it too. It clarifies a lot of NONSENSE that people typically misconstrued about her famous interviews, her professional career, and her life.
