I also miss Melanie —she had great boobs, and she was also funny and genuinely warm. I met her a number of times.
Not many people know that being from Missouri like Rush, she worked with him at the time he was in Rock & Roll and no one really knew him.
Mel and Lee were.......just WOW..!!
..........at least Savage is gone............right?
I miss Mel. I like her jawy voice and her slight ditziness. She was a great foil for Lee, and I think the show got a little dry, sometimes a lot dry at times without her influence. I also think Lee has gotten a little tired of the game after so many years. It should be remembered, he has been a steadfast conservative voice for just about as long as Rush, in the 20-year zone, and that’s saying something in SF loonyland. I very seriously doubt he makes 1/25th as much as Rush. I have no opinion as to whether station mgmt thought he became too expensive for his yield or whether he simply decided to retire or to take an extended leave. I flat out don’t know. None of those possibilities would surprise me.
I’ll still listen to KSFO in the early am. It’s my source of Rush/Hannity/Levin.
Sussman I can take or leave. He’s not bad, but he doesn’t especially float my boat as a radio personality. I respect him for his conservative views, I know he’s a nice guy and he’s smart...but there are only so many hours in the day.
Yes, Lee and Melanie were great together. She round-off his sharp edges. The show wasn’t as good after she left. OV move into her slot and the show didn’t have the same chemistry. I still listen because of Lee’s interviews. He would get great conservative guests and would hold their feet to the fire. Sharp as a tack. He may be close to retiring because he was off every Monday. Brian is good, but more like a Hannity-type. I wish Melanie would come back to work with Brian.
