The Next Hottest Entertainment

The Next Hottest Entertainment??
By Joe Clingman ENGL 336.002

Imagine riding down the highway, windows rolled down, and blasting 97.8. They are playing the latest and greatest tunes on the radio, and then follow up with news on your favorite sports team. Well Tilmon Isaiha Parker III’s dreams are to do just that, entertain you in the best way by radio.
Straight out of Upper Marlboro, this mass communications major is in love with sports and music. He wants to share the same love to people across the nation by owning his own radio station some day. “If it sounds good, I like. I listen to all types of music”, he says. He is a friendly fun loving person who likes to just hang out with his friends and play video games. Tilmon loves any form of entertainment that makes him bust a gut from laughing. He is a dedicated person to his family which consists of his mom and two sisters. Tilmon graduated from Henry A. Wise high school in 2008 and is expected to graduate from Frostburg State University in the spring of 2012.
Tilmon has played a couple of sports since he was young, but chooses football as his first love. Although, he says, “basketball has taken me only to a couple other states; I have only been on the east coast.” “Florida was the furthest I went, for Disney World.” http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/. He knows for sure though that he is going to get to Hawaii and Jamaica some day. “First I have to get over my fear of boats and water, “he states.
Tilmon has always had the dream in becoming someone honored in the media field. He says he is not too anxious to be extra popular. He doesn’t even really want to be a big time famous person in the industry, but to be successful and wealthy enough to take care of his future family.
Comedy is a big part in what Tilmon’s priorities. He loves to laugh and he looks up to comedians like Dave Chapelle, Richard Pryor, and Eddie Murphy. He feels Richard Pryor is the best specifically because he is underrated and unknown by many. Maybe Tilmon’s radio station will exploit Pryor and allow people to get a better view and understanding of him. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Pryor
Media and sports are definitely a big part of Tilmon’s life. He is very passionate and determined to complete his goals. So look out for him, he could be your next local music and sports station!
