He was a customer of a former employer back in the 1990s. Actually was a pretty nice guy IRL.

I don't think his more rabid fans and detractors realized that most of his on air stuff was shtick, Ticom? 

I really liked G. Gordon Liddy's show from that era. Gord was a first class nut, instructing his listeners regularly of the many way's to kill someone with a freshly sharpened No. 2 pencil.


Liddy was entertaining. They were both on 770 AM WABC in the afternoon and evening back in the 1990s.

They both knew their audiences and whether entertained, enlightened, or outraged people were still listening to their shows, and talking about it. It was either "He said this yesterday and it was in The (NY) Post today!" or "Do you know what that (expletive) said in the radio?!"

That was the NY talk radio scene back then.

The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.
