If you peruse the talk-radio airwaves, you've heard him.
Uh, he's either got a hell of a lot of time on his hands, possesses a great degree of conviction on something so bizarre, so comical, maybe he's just joking.
It's a joke with a
heavy dose of compilation and compelling thought, at least if you believe this guy and frankly, he's a little busy if you know what I mean.
The he I'm speaking about is the infamous one; the guy that makes his way onto just about every radio talk show in the Bay Area and beyond, (he's even hit
CSPAN too).
What he says is this:
John Lennon was murdered by Stephen King. I'm not kidding. OK, quit laughing. Did you really think we were gonna talk about scones and coffee today?
This
Lennon/Stephen King guy is a serious dude. Either that or he's one persistent bastard. He's infiltrated just about every radio outlet around. Producers can try their best to catch him, but all this does is give the guy more ammo to make his way onto the airwaves and he does so despite the fact that they're catching on to him, but he still evades them. Yes, he's that good.
He's earned the purple heart at
KGO, which is now good, since any devious act on the albatross is fine by my book. The Lennon/Stephen King caller has nailed
Ronnnnn Owens,
Christine Craft,
Pat Thurston,
John Rothmann; I'm leaving out others, but he's an equal-opportunity shit-disturber and he's even gone national lately.
Larry King would have had a field day with this guy, ditto Howard Stern, a real-time
babbabooey.
**I understand something's being demolished near the Golden Gate Bridge. Have you heard the news?
**Why they call it the toy dept, part 5678: As usual the
Aubrey Huff story was largely covered by the sports guys, without hardly any mention by the news people. The end result was a cornucopia of pieces, (with the exception of the
Chron's Henry Schulman), of an issue that had no business in the sports domain.
Aubrey Huff is a baseball player with the
SF Giants. That's where the sports part begins and ends.
His disclosure that he's suffering from anxiety and possible depression is where the story takes a news turn and has nothing to do with sports. Depression and anxiety attacks should not be used as a venue to mix in sports minutiae. "When will he be able to come off the disabled list?" Huh? I heard that beauty on a sportstalk show.
The frat boys on
Knibber in the morning--showing their usual lack of worldliness and utter disregard for the topic, had no clue had to handle the Huff episode. Instead of taking a diplomatic route or just say nothing, they decided to frame the issue as a sports topic, where they, as usual, failed miserably. They can't help themselves--but that Pauley guy can sure play stupid sound effects with his music box, what a rockin' genius.
**Another reason why I'll skip the
Olympics:
Bobby Fitzgerald, grand master ass-kisser extraordinaire for the Dubs and Knibber will apparently be working for
NBC as basketball PBP-announcer. Rudy does know how to play the brown toilet-paper game, don't he?

Lloyd LaCuesta is splitting from
KTVU after 36 solid years; one can only hope that
Rita Williams and
Tom Vacar are staying on duty...Williams, a veteran continues her dogged work and remains at the top of her game, but she's in her 60's, which in local TV news is a warning light. I would doubt KTVU would mess with Rita as long as Rita wants to stay on and work.
Vacar too is still quite the consummate pro and does a good job on consumer affairs, but he too is in his 60's. A good reason why the station won't mess with him: Vacar happens to be a lawyer and the last thing Cox Broadcasting, (which owns KTVU), wants is an age-discrimination suit.
