In the spirit of the season, let me say to David Brudnoy: God rest ye, Merry Gentleman. David's agnosticism didn't keep him from celebrating Christmas with his Christian friends, just as the process of dying didn't keep him from celebrating life. If, as Ray Bradbury wrote, enthusiasm for living gets one into heaven, David is there now. I called WBZ to say good-bye, having been told he was listening from his hospital bed. It was harder than I expected so I just blurted out something about us all meeting again, as if I know for sure. It does seem, though,...

The radio on my nightstand usually played classic rock, but 1994 was my summer of talk radio. During those heady days of populist-conservative backlash, the medium was a near constant companion. Lunch with Rush, drive time with the indefatigable Beacon Hill-basher Howie Carr and a full five hours a night with David Brudnoy.

"Conservatives like to be told and love to follow". We have no brains; we mindlessly listen to Rush, etc. and can't think for ourselves. Liberal elite alert!! These bozos think we're just blind followers. They wonder why they have lost 5 of the last 7 prez elections, with...

WBZ'S David Brudnoy is saying good-bye to his friends. After living with AIDS for years, David’s cancer, merckle cell carcinoma has spread to his liver and kidneys and his prognosis at Mass General Hospital is not good. All too often in the news business, its not good news we have to report and this is one of those stories. WBZ's Gary LaPierre had an extended conversation today with a very prominent member of our family here at WBZ, Dr. David Brudnoy. David Brudnoy asked to have this conversation so that he, a nationally prominent radio talk show host, could say...
