Prayers for his family.
In the end, education, money, political beliefs, etc - the only thing of any importance is one's relationship with Jesus.

Being a conservative, this will sound very odd.

I produced and sang all of the song parodies that Alan used on his shows for several years. From “The Clintstones”, “Haiti is a Trap”, “Jeff Dahmer’s Lunch”, and all of the ones I produced, he was a lot of fun to work with and always very bright. He was a broadcaster first and a liberal second.

Even though I disagreed with 80% of what he said, his shows were always entertaining. I will miss sharing our shared love of political humor and song parodies. So many wondered how I could do those songs from a dyed in the wool liberal, and how a liberal could play something done by a rock-ribbed conservative. But it worked.

Alan was the last voice to be heard on 66 WNBC in New York on the day of “The Big Switcheroo” when half a dozen stations were sold and the entire market snapshot changed.

Rest well, Alan. The great beyond is a bit funnier today.

Yes...I don’t understand how he was able to maintain the things he believed in the face of mountain of evidence to the contrary.

I’d trade him for Beckel any day.

yep...there are very few people for whom I wouldn’t trade Beckel; he is the essence of a lout...
