Post-Time Warner Parsons Eyes the DJ Booth

How does Dick Parsons plan to spend his golden years, now that he's done running Time Warner? Not by running New York City, whatever people may think:

From First 30 Days (via Huffpo):

There is this persistent rumor that I am going to run for mayor...It is not something that I want to do at this stage in my life. I mean I might have done it at an earlier stage in my life. That it is a hard job. That is one of those jobs you put into the category of 100 hours a week--24/7 really--and you have to have a passion for it. You have to really derive what I call a lot of psychic income from being in that kind of position of authority, recognition, adulation, exposure, all of that stuff. None of that [seems] very attractive to me right at the moment.

That leaves the obvious options -- teaching, spending more time with his family, writing a memoir and...one other thing you might not expect:


I'm talking to some people here in town about being a disc jockey. Having a late evening jazz program would just be a hoot. I would have enormous fun with that.
