Yea, You're right. In the true sense of conservative as we understand it he was not. But he always made you think.
David Newman suffered a stroke and some other medical problems a few years ago. I heard that he guest hosted a couple of shows recently on WJR.
I used to listen to Mark Scott because he was on after Rush, but stopped after his drooling interview with a female porn star. It was disgusting and had NOTHING to do with current events and issues normally associated with the show. It was such a turnoff I never listened again. I just regret I didn't let the station know why I'd quit.
All the old, good Detroit radio hosts are gone . . . from J.P. to Mark Avery to Mark Scott. Can not stand the innane drivel on most talk radio stations there now - on JR, Paul W. is hardly J.P. although his ego would suggest otherwise and Mitch is so much liberal baloney that Mark Scott was a refreshing alternative for people, no matter how strident his libertarian, anti-government views.
Where's old Detroit?? Where's Billy Bonds when you need him?!!!!
