Very good summation of the weekend host on kgo, I remember listening to Bill Wittenberg on the weekends; very entertaining and learned a lot from his show. Sure miss the old kgo!
Bill W. was great. I did think he was a little over the top sometimes about his prediction that the forests of Northern California were going to soon burn to the ground due to forest mismanagement and obstructionist tactics by "ecofrauds", like the Sierra Club. Well, that did happen, and as someone who is a co-owner of many hundreds of forestland that did burn up in 2020, it was truly awful. As I understand it, his own property up in Plumas County (not far from mine) where you used to broadcast from burned to a crisp, after he passed on. RIP Bill.
"He died in a car accident on February 25, 1979,[3] south of San Francisco, in which two others in another car were also killed. His blood alcohol level was found to be .26, nearly three times the legal limit at the time, and he was driving the wrong way on the freeway." This is from Wasserman's Wiki page. I remember the story at the time. He was driving on 280.

ReplyDeleteReally miss listening to Bill Wattenburg on Saturday and Sunday nights… those were the days of great talk radio
ReplyDeleteI miss Ray T, when he would release his bowels in his pants during his shift, and the AM morning crew would get a whiff of it.
DeleteJGO radio? Typos are leaking into your podcasts now... LOL!

ReplyDeleteIt did go up. His wife Carol and family lost everything.

Most people drank that much when Carter was President. Same Obama.
DeleteWattenburg put the liberal idiots in their place. Loved that man.
ReplyDeleteit was the "Open Line to The West Coast", not America if I recall correctly
ReplyDeleteCorrect. The "Open Line To The West Coast"
