re: John Walton (Walton & Johnson) has passed

They mentioned the Paul Stanley interview during which Walton hung up on Stanley and was then pelted by Kiss fans.
They had it for some time after as they would often play snippets from that.
John was famous for pissing off famous guests - Bill Burr, Paul Stanley, Christopher Plummer, Terry Bradshaw.
Frankly, if the celebrity guest wasn't a long-time friend of the shoe (Ralphie May, Herman Cain come to mind), it typically didn't go well. Christopher Plummer hung up on them. John hung up on Paul Stanley. Burr just didn't get it. Terry Bradshaw was listening on hold when John said, "What's Bradshaw selling, some book?" to which Terry took offense.
It was just great radio when they had a celebrity guest.

The Plummer hang up was legendary... "So long"... He was so offended they hadn't watched his boring movie before interviewing him.

I found it on YT under "Paul Stanley owns radio host."
Yeah, right. The "Kiss Army" reminds me of the callers to Jim Rome - just a bunch of mushheads who have nothing clever to say.
They just ended with his wife calling in. It's tough. I remember when my old broadcasting partner died. He got sick while on the air, it got worse over time.
We finished out the football season and he was gone a couple of months later. And while I left the fabulous life of radio a couple of years later, I always appreciated the guys who did it the old way. Some still exist, and some young ones are reminiscent of the old ones.
The signals all fade out in the end. Like ripples on a pond, they travel as far as their energy can carry them, then smooth out until finally, the needle goes flat.
Godspeed, radio man.
