A few years ago, I just happened to have Imus on when he was running some fund raising auction, probably for his ranch, and an auto dealer donated a Hummer. Imus wondered if it was the "cheap" or deluxe model.

Not that I was a regular listener, but that did it for me. He gets an pretty expensive donation, and he disses the dealer?

I was listening to a shortwave broadcast of a Jean Shepherd show. He read some ad, possibly a "PSA", and it was so poorly written, Shepherd criticized the thing as he read it.

What was probably a 15 second announcement went on for what seemed like two minutes.

MAN!!! Jean Shepherd!!!! I’ve been on FR for 10 years and have yet to see his name mentioned. I was a regular listener of his for years. Used to hide my first transistory radio under my pillow to listen (I was supposed to be asleep!).

You remind me of my Imus experience:

I was driving I-5 between LA and SF (200 miles of wasteland). Imus was coming in loud and clear, 'reviewing' Johnny Cash's CD "When the man Comes Around". Now, I love Johnny Cash, and when he does a song he has the potential to make that song his, like few others can. But Imus was ripping him to shred's. while he also had both my wife laughing out loud at his comments.

People have to know that Imus has the ability to make you laugh, even though you do not agree with him.
