I listened to his show the first few days after Y2K and his listeners were asking for refunds for the survival kits they purchased that were needed. It was sad.
Jim Quinn here in Pittsburgh had the same thing happen. He was pushing Y2K really hard and then —poof— nothing.
I remember being in rural areas of Ohio and Michigan in the 90’s where the locals were into Harder bigtime. If he had told them to lock and load and march on Washington, I have no doubt they would have done it.
