Re: [IRCA] Emperor Gene Nelson

[Michael Hawkins <downsized99@xxxxxxxxx>]

I tuned Bernie in.  It was actually a pretty good show.  Around 12:30, he made a comment that rang really true...radio sucks these days, syndicated radio would never have a show like he was running because they have to be so homogenized to appeal to everyone, and KGO may be one of the last stations around where you could hear a show like that.  I'm not a KGO fan, but as far as this market goes, he may very well be right.
