Back in the early '80's was working on L.I., listened to Imus in the morning and Stern in the afternoon, made it palpable negotiating the LIE, both cracked me up.......

An icon of radio dies and in the 2nd sentence, written by a female, writes "popular, especially with the over 25-male demographic"

No hidden agenda or animosity here, no....

I still remember the stunt that Howard Stern pulled by sending him a bottle of vodka for his birthday, after Imus admittedly was sober for a period of time.

Damn...

I had to study Carlin, Stern, Imus, and Bob &Tom for my college degree (communications for radio broadcast) and loved listening to Bob and Tom. We had (and now have a gain) Lex & Terry. Their show hasn’t changed a bit in over 20 years.

Often times our filter malfunctions and words are conveyed that might not be our most shinning moment...

Let he who speaks only in the absolute of Political Correctness throw the first stone.


Imus really was a pioneer in the MAGA movement and had a fan base of over-taxed fed-up folk that were mad as hell and were on the verge of not taking it anymore.

Godspeed Don Imus, your hat and microphone spoke to many fans who were "Woke" to what you so eloquently ( and sometimes too factually ) spoke of.

When the Imus show was telecast on TV , I watched it. His brother Fred was a funny guy and on the show occasionally.

"Frederic Moore Imus was an American radio talk show host and the younger brother of radio talk show host Don Imus. He hosted Trailer Park Bash, a weekly country music program launched on May 6, 2006, on Saturdays from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. ET on Sirius XM Radio's Outlaw Country channel lasting five years until his death in 2011.Wikipedia"

The problem with the "nappy headed ho's" comment is that unless you were a seriously nasty racist, it just wasn't funny, at all. As a professional, he should have realized that right away, and followed it up right there on the show by apologizing and saying it was over the line, and the thing might not have blown up the way it did. His refusal to admit his joke sucked for about a week is what ended up making it national news, and making him look like that attitude was really what he was about.
