Which troon activist???

Julie Berman.

 

[Rafal Gan Ganowicz]

Julie Berman.

Sounds like a case of "Guardsman's Defense" to me. Probably some beergoggled troglodyte who was too drunk to have suspected there'd be a sweaty cock pulling free of the ductape when he got the pantyhose off the troon.

Well that’s another radio legend gone. Who's next, Todd Pettingill?

My name is Hackvoice McWashedup, I was in your industry and died an undignified, forgotten hack.

Aaaaaaaaaaaashabbadabba waddabadda dum dum boooooooooow

I was never a fan of radio but I felt bad for the guy because his name became toxic after what he said about the black woman's basketball team and how rapper David Banner used his name as example of racism in the media and entertainment industry. Like man, imagine how bad it must feel for Imus to have been used as an example of racism for one comment with no mercy.

I listened to Stern instead. But I always felt bad that Imus suffered so much for that comment.

RIP Neil Innes, the man who successfully sued Oasis for ripping off a Beatles parody song.

RIP Neil Innes, the man who successfully sued Oasis for ripping off a Beatles parody song.

If you ever had Monty Python's live albums at the Hollywood Bowl and Drury Lane you have heard some of his songs. They also got a lot of play on Dr. Demento.

This is the one Oasis stole.

And this is probably the biggest hit of the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band.

 

[Francis E. Dec Esc.]

He also played the leader of Sir Robin's minstrels in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

 

[Buster O'Keefe]

RIP Neil Innes, the man who successfully sued Oasis for ripping off a Beatles parody song.

[Jason Wynn]

Him and Carol Cleveland really helped make Python. RIP

I was never a fan of radio but I felt bad for the guy because his name became toxic after what he said about the black woman's basketball team

The best part was that when that scandal first happened some news outlets showed pictures of the Rutgers Women's Basketball Team as B-roll while doing voiceovers before they realized... well, you know...

 

[Commander X]

Mead produced stunning arts and designs - besides designs for Blade Runner, Aliens, etc. Yoshiyuki Tomino specifically sought out his services for designing the mechs for Turn A Gundam, and put in great effort to facilitate the process.
