This is fabulous! I also loved his show. And I lost it when Billy Crystal would hock the “nipple rouge” in his bit.
I have the entire collection of the retro style magazine he published. (Or at least had his name on it.) Next time you’re in town I will dig them out, if you’ve not seen them before.
I feel the same way about Dick Cavett. (As you know.) I love this story so much! You have some great ones. Can you write your stories about Barry White sometime?
Did you ever meet Tom Snyder? That guy was a fave of mine too. The Wendy O and Plasmatics episode especially!
Did you take that great photo? Makes me wonder what treasures lie among the stacks behind and around him. And I find it a nice tribute (and amusing, as well) that you incorporated his little trick to get people to call back on your own WFMU show (“Can you call back in 15 minutes?”) It’s how I actually met Mr Chris B, he was wearing one of your Tees with “Call back” on the back of his shirt and I ran over & introduced myself. TheGoddamDaveHillShow, bringing people together. 😄 BTW, you ever meet King Diamond?
Honorable mention: Floyd Vivino.
Loved Joe as much as his theme song. 🎙️🎵 That's a fascinating photo of Joe in his obsession. I'm surprised he could find the phone.
This is a lovely read, Dave. I can totally see you picking up where Joe left off. 💗 Think about it.
I would love to!

Thanks for the great reads, Dave!
Nice! I did meet Barry While once. Maybe I'll write about that next.

No, but I have a few photos from my times hanging out there. I wish I got something from that office but it all disappeared to auction.
I was thinking that too, Bobbi. “Call back in, oh, 20 minutes.”👏👏🤣
I love love love this one!!!!!!!!🔥🤘🏼
Thanks!
What a nice story. You have such an interesting life.
Thank you, Becky!
