Ray "el rey de la noche!"....merely a Jersey Guy with a microphone, a transmitter, and an internet connection. I'm proud to host New Jersey's only all live/all local/all night show...every weeknight from 11 to 3...spreading the gospel of the Garden State to every corner of the globe via RadioPup on your smartphone...on your computer at nj1015.com...at home and in your car from the big and imposing frequency modulated stick at 101.5! I've been a resident of Manalapan since 1987, and have watched the town grow. And I don't plan to move out of here any time soon...unless the taxes become unbearable, in which case maybe I'll go back to my grandmother's little village in Nola, Italy and speak in non-incoherent Neapolitan much to the amusement of the locals.

WATCH: Teacher dances to ‘Uptown Funk’ with his students
There’s no more catchy song on the radio than Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars’s “Uptown Funk!”
So catchy, in fact, that it got one teacher in Texas to come up with the dance routine seen on Mars’s video
The teacher, Scot Pankey, from A...
VOTE: Should teachers be able to defend themselves during student attacks?
Where’s Joe Clark when you need him. Something tells me this would never have happened under his watch.
All you need do is look at the following video – which is graphic – due both to the language and the violence.
The teacher is teaching 9th grade physics, and sees a student using a cellphone...
VOTE: Ever been disappointed seeing Billy Joel in concert?
Not everyone is going to be happy seeing their favorite artist in concert; so,should I really care what Glenn Beck has to say about Billy Joel – outside of the fact that he’s a big Billy Joel fan.
Not every artist hits the “home run” every time out...
VOTE: Are you addicted to Netflix?
Dopey me.
I just got that Roku thingy and connected it to my 150 inch TV down in my man-cave.
(I’m jesting about the size of the TV, just like guys jest about the size of other things.)
Problem is this.
Since there’s no football on TV this weekend (nobody watches the Pro-Bowl...
VOTE: What do you think of Manalapan’s rap duo ‘The Pilot Kids’?
Every now and then I’ll run something by my daughter who’s been in the record business since she graduated college.
She’ll do her best to help aspiring artists get producers to remix their projects.
She’d done that with Jersey bred Antonella Barba – a former contestant on American Idol - hooking up her manager with a Michael Gloria, a local producer from Staten Island – to remix her club hit “Jers
VOTE: Have self-help books worked for you?
“I can do it all myself” might be the refrain some of us use when either trying to lose weight or bring about some other change in our behavior.
But then why are there so many self-help books on the shelves in bookstores?
Because when it comes down to it, we could all use a little help with something...
Poll: Is the controversy over PARCC overblown?
Parents concerned about their children having to take the Partnership of Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers exam commonly known as PARCC grow by the day.
Districts all over the state are getting little to no guidance on what to do if parents want their children to opt out of taking the test...
VOTE: Should the PARCC tests replace midterms and finals?
Adding to the misery that some parents already feel about the implementation of the PARCC (Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers) test is the policy some districts are already considering – or in some cases – have already put in place...
POLL: Is New Jersey’s PARCC test a complete waste of time?
Is it time well spent to give a test to students in grades 3 through 11 twice a year to try and assess their “readiness for college and careers?”
Some might think the answer to that would be a flat “yes!” stating that it’s the best way to gauge a student’s educational progress – and assess their future needs...
VOTE: Do you believe reports of a father and adult daughter moving to NJ to get married?
I guess the Mason Dixon Line has moved north.
According to an article that appears in New York magazine in its “What’s It Like” column, which delves into unusual relationships - (of which I have to wonder whether or not the relationship described is valid) - an 18-year-old girl from the Great Lakes region claims she’s marrying her biological father and moving to New Jersey where adult incest isn’t
