Mark Scott wasn't even a Libertarian, really, though it was closer than anything else. He was a staunch Objectivist, who found amusement in all sorts of things beyond the objective.
His work on WXYT was ground-breaking. He was lured to another Detroit powerhouse, only to get himself fired about a week later, if memory serves. His efforts since have been pretty sad; he was on a tiny, low power AM station for a time, and made several attempts at building a following on the web.
David Neuman, the last I heard, was having pretty major health issues. Another voice from the heyday of WXYT, John McCulloch, co-hosts a home improvement program on WJR with Murray Gula.
I'm saddened by Scott's passing. Excelsior, Mark!
I was just remembering his favorite caller, Rita from Detroit. She was a radical black Muslim who fervently believed that white doctors cut the tails off of white babies when they were born.
I looked forward to Rita's calls. She used to call Rush too.
John McCulloch started off real strong on WXYT but seemed to fade quickly into irrevelance.
Local talk radio in Detroit is woefully inadequate since WXYT disappeared into all sports oblivion.
