NB: Ron, everyone just loves your innovative storytelling. Do you have any tips for aspiring writers?
Ron: I give 'em the old razzle dazzle
I Razzle Dazzle 'em
I Give 'em an act with lots of flash in it
And the reaction will be passionate
I Give 'em the old hocus pocus
I Bead and feather 'em
How can they see with sequins in their eyes?
Fan: What if your hinges all are rusting?
What if, in fact, you're just disgusting?
Ron: Just Razzle dazzle 'em
And they;ll never catch wise!
Give 'em the old Razzle Dazzle
NB: You and One Life to Live have the buzz that reaches far beyond the soap community. How have you managed to achieve such incredible heights?
Ron: I Razzle dazzle 'em
I Give 'em a show that's so splendiferous
Row after row will crow vociferous
I Give 'em the old flim flam flummox
I Fool and fracture 'em
How can they hear the truth above the roar?
NB: What about Todd and Tea? They have the greatest love story ever told. How do you manage to convince the audience of that?
Ron: I Throw 'em a fake and a finagle
They'll never know you're just a bagel,
Razzle dazzle 'em
And they'll beg you for more!
NB: How do you explain the adoration of the press that you have garnered since you began as the head writer on One Life to Live?
I Give 'em the old double whammy
I Daze and dizzy 'em
Back since the days of old Methuselah
Everyone loves the big bambooz-a-ler
NB: Can you explain your philosophy when writing for sweeps?
Ron: I give 'em the old three ring circus
I Stun and stagger 'em
When you're in trouble, go into your dance
Though you are stiffer than a girder
They'll let you get away with murder
Razzle dazzle 'em
And you've got a "rape"romance
Give 'em the old
Razzle Dazzle
NB: How do you get the audience to buy into your stories of switched babies, month old bags of blood, lying strippers, a crazed cult leader and his followers?
Ron: I Give 'em the old Razzle Dazzle
I Razzle dazzle 'em
Just show 'em the first rate sorceror you are
Long as you keep 'em way off balance
How can they spot you've got no talent
Razzle Dazzle 'em
And they'll make you a star!
