Being a conservative, this will sound very odd.
I produced and sang all of the song parodies that Alan used on his shows for several years. From “The Clintstones”, “Haiti is a Trap”, “Jeff Dahmer’s Lunch”, and all of the ones I produced, he was a lot of fun to work with and always very bright. He was a broadcaster first and a liberal second.
Even though I disagreed with 80% of what he said, his shows were always entertaining. I will miss sharing our shared love of political humor and song parodies. So many wondered how I could do those songs from a dyed in the wool liberal, and how a liberal could play something done by a rock-ribbed conservative. But it worked.
Alan was the last voice to be heard on 66 WNBC in New York on the day of “The Big Switcheroo” when half a dozen stations were sold and the entire market snapshot changed.
Rest well, Alan. The great beyond is a bit funnier today.
Sorry you lost a friend. As I said on another thread, Colmes may have been a liberal, but he was nice liberal unlike most. I liked his smile and he always seemed genuine, even if wrong in his positions. Hope he Rests in Peace and my condolences to his family.
I am sorry you lost your friend.
Thanks for the input and personal anecdote...
