"Roman Kemp's Dad".


Putting all of the "Celebs taking our jobs" comments (they're not, btw) to one side...Greatest Hits Radio made headlines again by hiring ex-Spandau Ballet and Eastenders star, Martin Kemp for Friday evenings.

This man's career spans the 80's to now (sounds like a radio station strapline!). He has toured and played in front of millions, received gold records, won awards, starred in movies, presented TV shows...but now.....?

Our friend, Daniel Floyd from Castledown FM put it best today:

"I find it interesting that it’s not — English actor and musician, known as the bassist in the new wave band Spandau Ballet who sold over 25 million Albums, Martin Kemp has a brand new radio show. but — “Roman Kemp’s Dad”

That's the way it works, isn't it? Success, fame, adulation...whatever you receive as a result of your performances on and off air, will last for a while and then move on to someone else. Enjoy what you do and where you are today. It will last until tomorrow and then eventually, YOU will be known for what you DID. Yes, strive for better but make the most of what you have right now. You're building your legacy.

Martin Kemp will be having a laugh at being called "Roman's Dad". I bet he'll also be proud of his little boy. Flip it and look for the good...it's always there :)
