Friday the 13th. Somehow that was appropriate.
Say hello to Long John.
RIP.
Long John was the original and the best. When he followed Bob Grant late night in NYC it was radio heaven. Art Bell was of a similar character.
“Friday the 13th. Somehow that was appropriate.”
Very true! Yep - he was quite the entertainer. Some of it was real, some of it could have been real, and some of it was fake - but told in such a way that it just maybe - maybe - be real.
I recall he had a caller over a series of days/weeks that would “call” (probably a pro voice actor type?) in about the alien he had captured (up on a mountain hike with his dog in the PNW??), and it died. So he kept it in the freezer in his garage. And then of course it wasn’t dead, and just dormant.
I think after numerous days and weeks of this it finally ended with something about the black Suburban’s outside his home in the suburbs of Everett, Washington, with the call going dead in mid-sentence.
