I did not realize Barry Farber was still around. I always enjoyed his radio show, but not so much when he was paired with Alan Colmes.

And how do you think Barry felt? Barry was great and pre Rush.

"I did not realize Barry Farber was still around."

He's getting up there. We had him in NYC in the early 1960's and beyond. He is literally *the* pioneer for talk radio and no doubt a big influence on Rush. He was a forerunner to the late, great Bob Grant too.

I mean the guy speaks dozens of languages, has a vast knowledge with total recall and is a wordsmith beyond peer. Pretty much H. L. Mencken without the atheist snark and far more prodigious doing three or four hour shows.

An absolute American treasure. Mark Steyn is the only one I ever hear that approaches his class and intellect.
