No Need to Listen to Stupid Stuff

If you are a fan of conservative talk show radio, no-holds-barred, of course you have to like the author, and anything he says or writes.
I am not historically well-versed as a listener of this man's patter, but I have spent the better part of 50-plus years with an interest in politics, and the media. I am not a talk-radio fan -- God gave us radio for listening to music, and for story-telling -- not for idiots who like to hear themselves speak, or the bigger idiots who host them.
But I am a fan of the written word, and this book is a collection of "essays". Frankly, the book isn't worth the read, on its own. I say that before doing some cursory research on the man himself.
I don't care for labels like "conservative" or "liberal", or "racist". So, I'll avoid using them to describe the man and his ideas. I will say, his ideas are (by self-admission) controversial -- which I gather is the only purpose of talk radio -- and to a great extent, fairly uninformed and stupid.
Read what you will, but you'd be better off avoiding this swill.

I'm so lucky to have this book in my library. Though Bob is off-the-air these days, I learned so much from him throughout the years that he was on New York radio. You'll learn a lot from this historian who has a PhD in psychology!

This book holds the opinions of the greatest talk show host to ever grace the airwaves. Bob's style is copied by almost every talk show host out there today. Here in New York we are awaiting the return of the King of the airwaves. There is nothing decent to listen to during afternoon drive since Bob left in January of 2006. Bob's new tell all book is in the making now. We can't wait until it comes to Amazon.

Unintentional Hilarity from a Angry Dinosaur

I read the book -- which, I guess, is rightfully out-of-print now -- and it is a ton of laughs! Bob "attended the Univ. of Illinois" according to the book-jacket, which -- I guess -- means he "interrupted" his studies to become a right-wing radio gasbag of the vilest sort.
Masquerading under the guise of a "straight-talking moderate" he struggles to "write" this book four paragraphs at a time and still can't avoid repeating himself endlessly. He comes across as one VERY angry man, and someone who honestly, and truly, doesn't like black people at all. To be fair, he also hates Mario Cuomo, feminists, gay activists, anyone who hasn't accepted their "lot" in American society.
This book/cassette was outmoded and hilariously outdated by the time it was published (he speaks about Bob Dole -- "as of this moment being the front-runner in the Presidential race"). I see it is selling for about a penny here and on E-Bay. Believe me --that is overpriced.
This very funny book/cassette will be of interest only to historians who wondered where Rush Limbaugh got the bold stupidity to proceed down his own path, and to those who wonder why Bob Grant worked his way up -- and down -- through the ladder of NY talk radio to where he is today: practically invisible.
