re: And now, the rest of the story

I always made it a point to listen to his commentary on my way to work. If I arrived early, I would sit in the car till his trademark signoff. Good memories indeed.

We used to listen to him everyday at lunchtime.

I’ll listen to an old Paul Harvey podcast every once in awhile.

I'd be following for 30 seconds before realizing that cocksucker was selling me something

Bose radio, most likely.

Someone told me that Paul Harvey flew his private plane in his underwear. He'd take off his suit, fly in his underwear, and dress before leaving the plane, so his suit was unwrinkled.

one of my early memories was being at home when my older brother was in school. i had to be 4 or 5. 1957 or 58. mom was ironing and listening to KMLB radio (monroe), where the shows around lunch were "hits for the missus" and "luncheon at the Francis." somewhere around the noon hour, Paul Harvey would do his full news broadcast. i loved paul harvey.

for "luncheon at the francis" a dj with a live mic would walk around the restaurant at the Francis Hotel in downtown Monroe and interview the big fish of that tiny pond.

He made such brands as Bose Wave Radios, Nurtragenia, Roach Pruf, JB Weld and even Buick Roadmasters.

I worked as a welder's helper one summer. My boss listened to Paul every day while we ate lunch. I was so lazy, I just threw together PB&J sandwiches every day. The only ad I remember was the Kava coffee ad.

"Kava, Kava, Kava!"

here is another good one.

There's nothing new under the sun.
