WABC Imus Rewound: Click|Here
From Phil Boyce…
This year we have a special treat. We uncovered several old Don Imus reels from his days jocking at the great WNBC in the early 70’s. He is a great talk host now, but people forget how good he was as a jock. You will get to hear it this year during the 9am hour. The fact that he is now our morning man is something special. It is the first time we have added any content NOT from the old WABC days. (WABC Radio Click | Here)

It’s a great show in general, but even moreso for adding Imus. Not many of the “purists” wanted Imus in with other WABC greats, but I think Allan and Johnny did okay.
I truly believe that this will be great. Will be recording at least the first 4 hours of the day. And break out the highlights, especially of our Don Imus.
Thanks Channel.
Do you have your plastic Jesus riding on the dashboard of your car?
Back in the day there were 3 AM radio stations; WABC, WMCA and WNBC. In my mind all three stations are mashed together into one experience. The Rewound Preview by Johnny Donovan is awesome, starts out with a commercial from “Castro Convertible” then hits all the familar voices including the Iman’s.
“Are your peaches fuzzy?”
Channel,
Guess you didn’t listen to my presentation on You Tube. Has a few extra’s that make it unique.
Hope everyone listens.
Don’t forget WOR. Jean Shepherd, Bob and Ray, Gene Clavin and what would Sat nights be without Joe Franklin?
My Mom was a big WNEW AM fan. Willie B. The Milkman’s Matinee. Julius Larosa.

WNEW 102.7 was awesome – FM was brand new with WNEW known for “progressive rock” ie NOT TOP 40″. Played whole sides of albums, DJs actually discussed the music.
I’m discovering links posted this way do not get held up in the filter, as “ordinary” links still do. The Craig’s page link I posted last night was held up for at least six hours due to the back-up link I included. Live and learn…
Off the subject of Monday and read what Huffington says please.

The pundits are saying they are waiting till after June 3rd, then they can use the cover of, all the folks have voted and we waited till the people’s votes were counted. I think it is true that there will be a wave of pledges from the superdelagates for Obama, they just want to look good when they do. Laura Ingraham has said it before, this is the Democrats year if they can’t win in this political climate, they need to hang it up.
When I see the situation with the DNC it reminds me of one of the many reasons I left the Democrat Party and Howard Dean in the leadership position was right up there toward the top. Disappointing doesn’t even cover it.
I agree with you Frec. But it’s the Democrat process that really is the problem.
Frankly I am torn between who I am going to Vote for. But against many people here and there, it will not be for a Clinton at any cost.
Thanks Frec.
Did you get my email?
Bruce,
That was Laree posting about the Dems. But I agree they have muxed it up big time and may yet blow their golden opportunity. Remember when George the Senior had a 97% approval rating and lost the election the following year?
Thanks for your e-mail, and thanks to all my teachers…this has been a fun class… 🙂
Darned Good Liars
Decent Explanation of Why People Lie at this site.
Obviously, I will be needing more practice with the HTML tools…I am BOTH a slow learner and a quick forgetter!
PT, btw, my temporary avatar is the flag of my home state of Delaware…and I have never heard that little ditty you posted yesterday. 🙂
Sorry Frec….Sorry Ree…..
I am in the middle of 3 things at once.
Dealing with my other group of friends.
Dealing with upgrading my DSL speed
And talking with Everyone here as best I can.
Later I will be processing more YTubes and other features for this fine group of friends.
So ignore my craziness at this time.
Hello Frec, That’s some darn good HTML you have going on there.
(Tip: Leave a space between the end URL angle bracket and the text you are inserting. Otherwise, syntax is perfect.)
Frec,
Thanks for the “lie thing”. Has given me some ideas about dealing with our son who lies at the drop of a hat. Interesting stuff for me to think about.
Bruce,
Nice catch on the HuffPo piece. My response is

Ski:
Glad to know that was helpful. We know from whence you speak. Hang in there. It may take a while, but he’ll be okay…and so will you, no matter what happens.
It looks like Mark Simone will be filling in for Imus this summer. Mark also does a Sat AM show and Sat Night Oldies on WABC. He’ll also be doing the Post Rewound Show on Mon.
Heres his interview with Mel Brooks this Mornng.
PT,
I thought you would be the fill-in?? Is Mark Simone funny?
he’s ok. I wish i could get on Imus. I think I’d be a great cast member. And somebody has to take over in 4 and a half years. Breakfast With the Bartman. lol.
Been busy doing the rounds of picnics etc. Was actually surprised by the anti-Obama sentiment. Maybe I was spending to much time with the “bitter white working class” or maybe there were way too many of those “old so yesterday white women”?
no ChanX, they’re just typicall
Yeah, Today is my favorite day of the weekend. We fill a barrel with ice and beer then expeditiously empty said barrel…
Some Gave All, God Bless Them and God Bless America.

Well here is my latest little You Tube. Nothing special. Just something to enjoy on this long weekend.
Happy Memorial Day Weekend.

Bart, That’s a nice pic of Mark Simone (yikes!).
About the “Rewound” leaving the old commercials in is a great reminder of when jingles were really jingles.
The phrase a “face for radio” comes to mind. So did you all “beat the barrel?”

I wonder if Col Jacobs will be involved alot of pro troop people and pro troop celeberties. Sean Hannity and Mark Levin are involved Patton’s grand daughter ect., I wish Imus and crew were involved.

I loved that Mazda commercial back in he day It became an inside joke. When ever somebody would say (something)goes(something) I’d say “But the Mazda goes hummmmm”
LOL this is pretty interesting. I was still out west during this era so never heard Imus during these years.
You can sure hear the beginings of how his show evolved into what it is today. So many of the elements are already there along of course, with his irreverent sense of humor.
The Cronkite thing was classic.
That’s what I grew up on I’ve been along for the whole freaking crazy ride.
You get around Bart…I saw your same post over at the Rewound board. 😉
“and the mazda goes Hmmmmm!”
Well gang I recorded at least the last 50 minutes of this 1 hour. Due to a Power Outage late this morning.
Will try and get all the clips up a little later. I heard the end of the Mazda Commercial. But my recorder for some reason failed prior to that.
Hang in there gang. This gave me some great memories. I was listening to him in 1972 while living in Parsippany NJ and traveling to Riverdale NJ at the National Community Bank.
Always made me laugh then. And still does today.
Later gang.
Bruce,
I recorded the full hour of Imus Rewound if you decide you need it. The Imus hour didn’t really start until around 6 minutes after the hour because of news, ads, etc.
Alison
Alison,
Great. I only lost about 7 minutes then. Think that included the Mazda segment. How large a file is it? If it’s under 10MB’s you could send it to me via email.
I have everything edited down to 4 segments without the Rotary Engine bit plus whatever was said by Mark Simone.
If it is less than 10MB’s please send it to me at
bvb720@gmx.net
Thanks a bunch.
Bruce, it’s 14,314 KB. I don’t know how to translate that into MB’s, but I think it’s too big? Let me know.
Alison that woud be 1,431.4 megas. it’ll fit.
PT, Bruce said it needs to be less than 10 megas, yes? So isn’t it too big?
1024 Kilobytes = 1 MB (megabyte)
I’d call it at 14MB – but that’s me…
Did a lot of driving today. IMO WABC radio sounds best in the car. This is fabulous radio. Congrats musicradio77 and ThanX.
Going through the musicradio77 and found this from Rob Frankel, the person who is primarily responsible for Rewounds tape restoration:
Source: Rob Frankel Profile Click | Here
Imus has always been about radio, especially radio in the car. It is what the whole genre is all about.
I’m always amused by the MSNBC/RFDTV crowd who thinks this is a TV program and are bitchin about it.
Just watched an early clip from the first days of Imus being on MSNBC. He always was ranting about how it’s a, “TV broadcast of a live radio show”. Not sure how many every really understood the difference.
Good radio is all about imagination and how the on air talent can make that imagination work. Has nothing at all to do with TV and “moving images”.
When Imus was first broadcast on C-Span it was totally transfixing the opportunity to watch radio. What a concept, to be able to view Imus and Chuck as they create the theater of the mind.
Rewound ended with the Monkees “Pleasant Valley Sunday”; given the weather and the program today it felt like Pleasant Valley Sunday…
Ok gang. It will be ready in just a bit. Alison, when you do have a chance you can try and send it to my bvb720@gmx.net
I will know if it doesn’t make it. 1.4 Megabytes will work.
Take your Kilobytes and divide by 1000. That will give you MB’s. There is a difference in speed up when speaking of kbps or KBps.
My 36 minute plus presentation is about ready. Will be sending to the special friends first then here for you to listen to. No Mazda Commercial though. Lost 6 minutes as I told you earlier.
Audio is very good. Graphics may be poor due to compressing from 453 MB’s to 147 MB’s. You will enjoy it I am sure.
Well here is “IMUS REWOUND”. Broadcast today. Forgive the missing audio. For technical reasons it was beyond my control. We now return you to the earl 70’s.

Skiwolf,
That is true about the Radio. Still I was watching a youtube on Bella’s myspace page, and it was nice to be able to watch old Mayor Nagin schtick. I think the radio format works better in the morning, then the tv format. more flexible or something? Instead of the old stale coffee clutch to start the day, people want to have a laugh in the morning. My memories from when I was a kid my radio was on all the time, my sister and I were constantly entering Radio contest ,we named a station mascot once a frog, we entered “Sigmund Froieg” I was pretty young, I won a transitor radio 🙂
Do people put up youtubes of Joe Scarborough – Mourning Joe on their myspace pages?
Bruce, I just emailed you the Imus Hour, at 5:40 am Eastern time. I hope it goes through.
Bruce,
Thanks for the effort. Very cool stuff. Great!
LOL – Imus just said how “brillant” the Keith Olbermann thing about HRC was and how it was so well written. Well, that will drive em all up the wall now for sure.
Dick Gregory is amazing but what was he talking about re the economy? Frankly I’m not seeing this overall suffering either in real life or in the economic numbers. Admidtly we are going through a business slowdown, however it is not a economic meltdown. Also seems like Americans are responding to oil prices using traditional market reaction; shopping best price, driving less, purchasing fuel efficient products including autos..
Alison I received it. Thank you. I believe I lost 1 song and the Mazda commercial in what I missed. But will see if I can make a quick one later. The first one took me 8 hours.
That’s including saving it on my hard drive which took three hours and up loading it to Yahoo Video’s. It wasn’t that hard.
Your Welcome SkiWolf,
Missed a couple minutes. Otherwise it was pretty clean.
Now I haven’t listened to Imus from this morning yet, but did hear his comment on Keith Olbermann. I truly dislike Mr. BathTub boy. But he did make me wonder who’s side is he on?
I always thought he was a liberal wacko (My words, My opinion). But if you watch that Youtube Video you will be convinced he was angry. Something happens sometime into this rant of sorts that you will notice and he noticed (Olbermann). Scared the living bejesus out of him.
Here it is if you or anyone is interested.
Later friends.
Yeah I can’t stand Olbermann either or any of the Screeching Talking Heads as I call them. All they do is screech for ratings. Mathews is the worst.
Anyhow, I found this particular Olbermann piece to be right on target. Of course, my personal dislike for all things HRC is pretty welll known. The creature is indeed evil IMO.
Here’s an item from the NYT I missed yesterday:
This is a development which really messes with prez erection, now doesn’t it?
And now for another Bruce Rant.
I read on our sister site so many negative comments regarding today’s show it sickened me.
Our good friend DTT pointed out that it’s the Karith Show and he thought the show sucked. Couple new names popped up touting the same garbage. That Imus bows to Karith.
They in general hate the Bahrain’s World bit. Don’t like the discussion about race. And a few things that are so obscure I wonder how that webmaster allows the crap to go on.
Now I know I have made a fool out of myself before, and sure will do it again. But for us that post on the “Sister Site”. Would someone point out to them that Imus is back. You can take him or leave him. But STOP talking about the same old thing day in and day out. It is like a broken record. SHUT UP already!!!!
You wonder why I read these comments over there. Well for awhile they were just talking about politics, and as we all know that is topical.
Well when Imus is on Vacation and he’s not on to “Kick Around”, wonder what those “Rocket Scientists” are going to be talking about then?
Since the new thread on the Rewound segment yesterdaywas put up, only 38 comments on IT. I for one was glad I was kicked out of there. Because I do not believe I would last more then a day there now.
And Bella. Glad you found a home to throw your BS on. I am glad you are gone from here.
A difference of opinion is one thing. But someone who constantly says the same thing day in and day out needs professional care from a brain surgeon. Possibly a “Labatomy”.
Good Grief
Bruce,
I could not agree more which is why I stopped posting on that site. There is nothing positive – everything is the same old negative thing about either how Imus sucks or about how HRC is being treated poorly. Day after day it’s the same stuff.
What would be fun to do is put together all of “DTT’s” posts in order and make him sit in a corner by himself and read them out loud. Same would be true for several others.
Really strange folks who obviously never got Imus to begin with, but yet have chosen that site to vent their anger about seemingly everything.
I know you got booted from there, Bruce. However, I actually feel bad for whoever it is who put so much effort into a site that has become what it is today.
Kind of a bummer.
I agree Ski Wolf.
Shouldn’t even mention them. But it becomes so irritating to watch their un-intelligent discussions about “Nothing”.
Like in all things. “All Good Intentions outlive their usefulness”. That’s one site that is no longer required in my opinion.
“HAVEN FOR THE INSANE”
I am glad I have received some comment on that “MORON SITE” Imus Truth. Read this crap please
There is a person who needs a Labatomy. Come on over and talk to me directly. You will not win. Sorry.
Regarding Comment 65
The “blockguote” is an excellent use of HTML tags. At this point consider yourself HTML TAG CERTIFIED
Thank you Channel,
I thank you for teaching me.
Guess “In the Tank Liberal” Mary Lynn couldn’t help herself and post about me over there.
She is a wack job. Has always been and always will be.
Anyone over there who would like to duel me here. Come on Down. I have a lot of good come backs for you all. And remember.
This is a freedom of speech site. This site does not ban people. This is a Pro Imus site. But accept comments that are not necessarily always Pro Imus.
So don’t hide under your bridge. Come over here and let’s get the conversation going. Don’t expect a positive response though.
Bruce,
Pleaseeeeee, lets not go there. I took refuge on this site for easy banter and intellect about all things Imus. Let them stay where they are. Thanks.
IMO skiwolf is right, its simply not worth the effort…
I know Ski Wolf. But sometimes you have to stirr the pot to get some reaction. And glad you have joined us for the intelligent conversations.
If they had not replied to me my little rant would have ended there. But no. As most ignorant people do they continue on since they have nothing to say that is worth saying.
Thank you SkiWolf.
And here are a few of those ignorant comments. I am now done for today, unless!!!!!!!???????
The last comment by RTR was actually wishful thinking. And should not be sonsidered one of the crazy people there.
Good Day.
X – I think a “Screeching Talking Heads” thread might be kind of interesting? Just a suggestion.
Obviously some issues out there.
Leaving behind the Memorial Day Weekend there is a new thread on Imus’s favorite issue – RACE…
