Just wondering if you been watching the new season of, āPerry Masonā? If so how do you like it?
By the way Dawn and I became grandparents- we understand your excitement and new babies are the best!!!
Can you give us a target date to hear you again?!! CA weather is gloomy so would love to hear some of your stories soon…I know you need a break from all the work the show takes because you are such a pro, but don’t you want to stir up some fun for us to listen to?! at least update us on what you’ve been doing in CA to keep you busy!!! miss ya…
So, Iām siting in Taco Bell this morning and my brain yells out āHow about some Super Sex?ā āIāll have the soup!!ā And my thoughts turn to you. I realized I had not listened to the M&L Podcast for a few years, so I pulled it up and scrolled to Paul Karrack and Fleetwood Mac dying – sometime in March, and pressed play. Up you come, that voice I first heard in Feb 1988, sitting in the Orange Coast College parking lot the morning after a classmate told me about this new radio show where callers setup threesomes.
My M&B Milestones:
I won tickets to the 1989 Christmas Show and sat right in front of your desk, about 5 feet from Lynda and a baby (Katie maybe?). I almost got the very last Snow Globe, which had been on the desk the entire show.
Saw you again at the Orange County Fair in 1992.
Listened daily for all 5 years in So Cal. Then married and moved to Portland, whereā¦
M&B began syndicating just after my move. My wife (now ex, a Kevin & Bean KROQ fan) hated you two. Oh well. Listened in Portland for 10 years, divorced and moved to Sacto where you ALSO syndicated. Listened for a while then moved to Southern Oregon where you two were not, so I got stuck listening to Bob & Tom. Oh, how I missed you.
Back to today: When you started talking about Paul Karrack I knew āThe Living Yearsā would come up and I would start crying. My dad broke his hip 2 years ago, and Iāve just been waiting for him to get an infection and die. When you did finally play āThe Living Yearsā and your personal brilliance for reminding us how important music is in our lives, the tears started. But then suddenly, again, on cue, my brain yells out āLUTHER!!!ā And Iām taken back to the morning, I believe after you returned from the service in Alabama, when you buried your father. For years, your ātakeā on Luther was that he was almost demonic, so hard and uncaring and ruthless. But upon his death, your tears and love that you so graciously shared with us all, and your amazing recounting of his military service, made me, and I hope all your fans, love you even more.
Brianās Paramount Moment in your 25 years together was his āstanding on the wallā giving leadership and comfort, all alone, to millions immediately after the earthquake. Yours was and is still, your ongoing heart that you pour into that microphone. Tom Griswold is the most annoying radio personality ever, but heās all I got. You are the best; itās not your voice, itās not your humor, itās your heart.
I will keep going through the podcasts, and Iām getting your audiobook, and, well, thank you thank you thank you for just being such a good doode and sharing yourself with us all.
