I really like Ronn and have appreciated him for years. I wish him well in his procedure and appreciate that he is sharing this information with us. I've gotten over that terrible situation when KGO canned some wonderful hosts in a most shocking and upsetting way. That was when I first knew of Rich and his leadership was helpful to those of us who were besides ourselves. Many people still are angry with Ronn for not handling the situation well, but like I said, I'm over it. We all have times that are not our greatest moments.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-69631734629482016772015-07-01T20:16:35.393-07:002015-07-01T20:16:35.393-07:00Your description of Ronn is totally a figment of y...Your description of Ronn is totally a figment of your imagination.

Neither Pat, Brian or Christine are terrible, they are all intelligent, well informed hosts, each have there own take on news and subject. Savage can be interesting, but for the most part he is not, too much ranting and raven, too much predictable bashing of everything left and liberal. Just so you know I listen to conservative hosts, like Tom Sullivan, and usually choose to listen to him over a more liberal host (Chip Franklin on KGO) I like Chip for the most part I find Tom's show more interesting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-72233487710258837352015-06-30T23:34:05.737-07:002015-06-30T23:34:05.737-07:00My only thought is we should ask Gene Burns what h...My only thought is we should ask Gene Burns what he thinks about Ronn's health predicament. Oh right, he's dead. I'm sure many of us have many axes to grind about how we've been treated by fellow co-workers at some time in our lives. I personally have a list of former KGO staffers I can only hope the least for, but ultimately, their fate is not in my control. If Mr. Owens is sick and in need of medical attention, I hope he gets it. Perhaps this is why he's been the way he has all these years. Serious health issues can make anyone become someone unrecognizable. I agree with Christine, the man is facing brain surgery and does not deserve to be hammered about it in your column or anywhere else. He may genuinely feel his coming forward is doing a service to the community. It's a shame his past actions make any of us doubt any good intentions he maybe trying to conjure up. As for you, Mr. Lieberman, I'm sure your Mom would want her son to behave better to those that are in ill health and refrain snarking at them through his public blog. My mother was an angry, hostile woman and I know she'd slap me up the head if I slammed someone in public as you have Mr. Owens over his health announcement. Let his Doctors (and Mr. Owens personal god) settle whether or not he deserves good health and a positive recovery.

But to pretend your digs are because you are separating personal and professional is absurd. You can't write more than a sentence about Ronn without a Sleeptrain comment. Your jabs at him are far more about your view of him as a person than his broadcasting. Again, that's fine, you're entitled to your opinion and I have no reason to doubt you have solid reasons for your views of Ronn personally. Just don't pretend that you're constant jabs at him are based on professional reasons.

I do catch him once in a while, which is why when I did catch him about a year ago I thought he sounded very different. He sounded like perhaps normal aging was catching up with him. A few months later, he made his Parkinson's announcement, and it all made sense. <br /><br />I do think him doing an hour on this procedure was a helpful gesture. I do agree with Rich that he is not his own man: contrary to him saying for YEARS that no one ever told him what to say or what not to say, we later learned that was not true (i.e., with the Bernie Ward debacle, and then barely mentioning his fired coworkers and the "great" format change).<br /><br />I was a Ron fan for maybe 25 years -- since I was in school in the 1980s. I wish him the best with his surgery and I think he should have gone out on top a few years ago.
