Same here, Beck has lost me, for this and other reasons.
I never really got into Beck from the start, but gave him a chance about 12-18 months ago. About 10% of the stuff he does is excellent. But the other 90% reminds me of Jimmy Swaggart or some bad TV preacher.
I think Beck has a choice to either become a humorous commentator like Rush or continue with his doom and gloom preacher act. If he chooses the latter, he’ll sink into the ratings abyss over the next couple years and go the way of Phil Donahue, Morton Downey, Jr. or the like.
