My most vivid memory of Paul Harvey—from The Simpsons, season 6—narrating “Mr and Mrs Erotic American”:

“Hello, Americans, Paul Harvey here. Did you know every
good American is at heart an erotic American? It’s true.
A famous couple — I don’t need to tell you it was Dwight
and Mamie Eisenhower — offered _this_ advice: “Double your
pleasure with a bath...together!”

A romantic vacation can provide titillation. Sensual, sanitary
seclusion awaits you at any of America’s fine AAA-approved
motor lodges.

By now your new, improved lovelife should have you flinging woo
like nobody’s business. So to you, Mr. and Mrs. Erotic
American, I bid...goodday.”

I always thought the story about Paul Harvey being sent to Honolulu to cover the US Pacific fleet's move from Long Beach to Pearl Harbor was funny in a way.

His assignment ended shortly before 12/7/41 - poor ol' Paul Harvey the junior newsman missed the story of the century by a matter of weeks.

RIP Paul. Paul Harvey was the high point in an otherwise mundane world while I was working at a Dairy. We'd stop everything to listen to the Rest of the Story. It was the special time of day.

Sorry. Couldn’t resist.

RIP to a fine radio entertainer.

If they said 91, I think they’re incorrect. I believe he’s 90. He would have been 91 in September.

He was pro-life. Add 9 months. ;-)

Remarkable voice. I heard his son penned all his program.
Not sure if that is true. His son has been doing his show at times
so I figured it wouldn’t be long.

Oh what a loss! Such a wonderful news person! At least he won’t have to watch the country come unglued under the socialists.

I didn’t think he’d hang on too long after Angel passed away. I’m sure you have a place in Heaven, Paul. Thank you for all of your great news coverage. Now...page 3.
