Imus was really the original shock jock. While Howard Stern claims that title, it was Imus who preceded him.
In Stern's younger less friendly days he started out as a friend on NBC, the turned on Imus and ridiculed him for years. Wouldn't be surprised if on Monday Stern is gracious in acknowledging Imus.
Saw imus once at sju as a student. Free appearrance. He was really funny.

I remember Imus at St. John's with Geraldo Rivera (Called him Jerry back then). I remember Imus doing his stick over the PA system and when he found out that his R-Rated bit was being broadcast around campus he said, " The nuns must be jumping out the windows." Lots of good laughs and stories over the years. Thanks Don. R.I.P.

[quote="section10" post=369601]I will never forget how calming imus was to nyc on the days following 9/11. that to me was imus' best broadcasts and finest hours.[/quote]
And I will never forget how he came into possession of Malik Sealy's playbook, and repeatedly demanded that Malik bark like a dog if he wanted to get it back -- which the classy Malik refused to do. A disgusting, racist episode, just one of many, including calling the Rutgers women's team "nappy-headed hos."

[quote="Paul Massell" post=369614]RIP Imus. I think I posted a while back about my "audience" with Imus at the Astoria Studios. It was surreal. Knight why are you posting here don't you have anything better to do today?[/quote]
Relaxing for a couple of hours before our wedding. :woohoo:

Charity Spent $2.6 Million Last Year on Just 100 Kids.
New York Attorney General questioned Mr. Imus about the ranch..... people familiar with the matter say the NY AG’s office asked about Mr. Imus's personal use of the ranch and the charity's financial controls........

The "Reverend" Billy Sol Hargus spiels were great with various "products he sold.
Imus also gave a boost to a lot of careers including Mike and Mad Dog Russo, Rob Bartlett (who has had B'way shows in his resume, Mike Breen, Sid and Bernie (the "Cardinal"/What doesn't Belong and Why). He kept Country Music on the air in NYC with some great guests and his 2 albums (Kinky, Levon, Delbert, Willie, et. al.).
The interviews with politicians, John McCain, and reporters-Jeff "Chipmunk Cheeks" Greenfield.
Still drink my morning coffee in my Imus mug RIP Imus.

Glad he's gone. Anybody giving him any kind of respect is also the type of person who respects other disgraceful human beings. According to Robin Quivers, he once called her the N-word to her face!http://www.noise11.com/news/us-radio-legend-don-imus-dies-at-age-79-20191228
Wow, Imus once gave a job to Mad Dog Russo, what a hero to mankind. I'll bet he never saved one dying bird or adopted a special needs cat. Howard Stern and his wife do that like once a week. And the cancer ranch thing is just pathetic. Unintelligible scum IMHO.

The man just died and you dredge up an inquiry that came to nothing from 15 years ago...??

Wow, could your standards be any lower? Howard Stern and Robin Quivers!!!!???? Dying birds and special needs cats!!!??? Let me know when you start the collection for his statue. What a joke.............how about helping people??? So sick of the SJW nonsense. And you know what, hate me also and revel in my death when the time comes because I used the “n” word thousands of times in my life, usually on the court; just like I was called every Caucasian expletive some very creative black and Spanish verbal abusers could come up with. And for the record I would not use that or any other demeaning word or phrase anymore, not because of fear of incurring the wrath of small minded people like you but simply because I have learned it is wrong.

[quote="JohnnyFan" post=369729]I agree, a man's passing is not the time to dredge up his shortcomings. That said, for this particular individual, it's also tough to stomach any tributes.[/quote]
He was a man, did some good and some bad like all of us; you people ought to get off your high horses and join the human race. Sorry, this idea of picking out the worst moments of people’s lives and painting their whole existence from them is ridiculous. I guess all of you give Mother Theresa a run for her money.
My wise old Irish grandmother used to say that if the Good Lord judged only our worst moments, heaven would be empty. Words I live by.
