Sounds like this dweeb goes to a day care center for stimulating entertainment. Alex was alright. I would listen to him when I used to drive truck. This is what gets to me... nobody wants to die or at least most have a strong sense of survival. So why when one gets a few years under their belt do a lot of people start trivializing older folks? They're successful! Weird society we live in. I think in most societies around the world older people are very respected for good reason. They just know more.

He had a lot to do with the formation of my political consciousness at the time. Followed him to WPLJ and lost track of him after that, but on a vacation trip to SF in the mid-'80s was glad to hear his voice on The Quake. And when I moved here in '91 it was like rediscovering an old friend. His Live 105 Morning Show was truly one of the great creations, whether he was an asshole or not (in real life, that is; yes we've all heard stories) was immaterial. Was very sad when they canned him. But a few years later when he re-surfaced very briefly on KNEW he was, sad to say, pretty awful. It sounded like they were holding a gun to his head and forcing him to be "cheerful". It was not the Alex I remembered and I soon tuned out. I've never heard his Siruis incarnation, but it's not really surprising that he'd still be doing some variation of his Cranky Old Man shtick. From what I read on some message boards yesterday, the Left hates him now for not being pro-Obama enough, or something. He remains one of my all-time radio heroes regardless.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-67804231731304173252013-06-26T00:10:41.581-07:002013-06-26T00:10:41.581-07:00Okay we all agree radio sucks.

If we heard what Alex said, then we might better understand the situation and comment appropriately. I saw Alex several times as a member of his "live studio audience", and the man was always professional, congenial, and gracious to us. Served up damn fine coffee, too. Stern definitely took his cues from Alex back in the day. It would be a treat for the ears to once again wake up with Alex at the control board, Joe in the newsroom, and local comedians here, there, and everywhere, but the sad state of SF commercial radio these days all but precludes the possibility...kitynpurrsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-19070702990577982572013-06-25T13:22:27.913-07:002013-06-25T13:22:27.913-07:00and there's tons of women as well...and there's tons of women as well...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-19751704549210019492013-06-25T11:51:54.965-07:002013-06-25T11:51:54.965-07:00He was an asshole and his longevity shows sick the...He was an asshole and his longevity shows sick the game is played..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-87472948944994101582013-06-25T11:30:27.353-07:002013-06-25T11:30:27.353-07:00I miss his old sidekick Lori Thompson.
