My introduction to Mark Scott was through a junior college civics instructor. There were several semester projects to choose from. One of them, surprisingly on hindsight, was to listen to Mark Scott for a few weeks and write a critique on his point of view. This would have been somewhere around 1979, when Mark Scott was really coming into his prime.
I was immediately addicted, and my world view changed completely as a result. While I did study up on Rand's works, being a Christian kept me from really being an Objectivist. But Rand's and Mark's observations and predictions about the nature of man, using the producer/parasite paradigm, are on the mark... no pun intended.
Yes, I remember Rita. She would call Rush right after he broke here in the Detroit market. I wonder if she knows.
Thanks for the memories. I am hoping to hear more information soon.

Whenever Mark got into his discussions on religionists, I usually changed stations too. He was too anti-Christian.
I think he got burned big time by some ultra-fundamentalist in the past and carried a grudge. He made some oblique references to that.
I think the first time I listened to talk radio was when I was about 19. I was listening to Kevin Joyce and pulling up to a Bavarian Village Ski Shop in East Detroit. Whatever he was talking about got me hooked.
I actually had to replace two car stereos because AM quit working.
