Mark Scott formerly of WXYT for a long time in Detroit has died at 69. Some folks here may have been influenced by his rationalism and cries of Excelsior! in the past.
Stole that line from Jean Shepard! "Excelsior Fathead!"
He sure was.
Mark seemed to lose it in his later years, but I owe him a lot for the insight he gave me back in the early 1980s. When he first came on WXYZ I couldn't stand him. I don't even know why I kept listening to him. But I kept going back for more. He prompted me to read Atlas Shrugged. Next thing you know, I'm a Reaganite!
