Very seldom listened to Rush other than in the morning in the car. Really didn't like his style too much but he is very smart and organized. Yeah, this looks like a clear case doesn't it of smoking resulting in cancer. I do hope that he can successfully battle the disease. YOu never know about cancer but I am sure that he will get the best care possible for it.

THEY probably took away his ability to spread his message to the masses. Hillary's final hit.

another bad thought

He wouldn't have even been able to break into an on air role at the old Loop when Brandmeier, Stern, Dahl and Matthews were all on the same station.

I've only heard Steve Dahl for about the last 20 years. but I can't imagine a point in time where he was ever funny or entertaining.


then take a shroom and open your imagination

Stern learned a lot of what he became from listening to Dahl

Because he said it and his fanboys have been repeating it now for decades doesn't make it so.

He was less boring in his heyday than he has been since h8s ratings tanked 30 years ago. But he was boring as hell then.

Wouldn't being an anti-black racist make you racist against white people?

I was a happy consumer of both shows. I can give you a list probably 10 deep of cornerstone bits of the Stern Show that were taken without alteration from Dahl. Here is just one example: dahl used to call the bijou theater, a gay porn theater in old town. The owner used to have hilarious descriptions of the movies on a recorded message. Some time after, Stern started calling the bijou. I don't know how else you could explain a local NY DJ in that time period knowing about a gay theater in chicago, let alone the voice messages, unless he was sampling.

Steve and Garry were together until 1993 and they held ratings while they were together. I think he was still highly rated in the market through the 90s.

You just have a hard on for him because you think anti disco was racist.

Dolphin, don't leave out that Stern followed him in Detroit when Steve came to Chicago. The hatred those two have had (don't know if ever settled as they aged) and the known thievery is huge.

I've heard so many times how drugs don't make you more creative as an artist. well, that sure as hell wasn't the case with Steve Dahl.

Maybe that is true. It certainly was a different time for his heights 78-95? Either way had he not stopped I am fairly sure he would have died by now.

His legacy really is being one of the main people that pushed the media into being unapologetically and overly partisan. People love listening to people that tell them things they want to hear and there was a big segment of America that wanted to hear how he would put it in ways they just so happened to always agree with. Others on both sides took it to more of an extreme but I think ultimately he will be remembered as a pioneer of the end of unbiased media.



There have always been guys like that, just no one who was able to develop the influence he had. He was steering the Republican Party for awhile.

The thing about him though- and Zippy kind of eluded to it above- is that he was really an entertainer and it came off as if he was doing shtick. He was the kind of guy who could blast Democrats all day long and then have dinner with Tom Daschle. I think his listeners were true believers more than he ever was.

But that's par for the course with politics. Trump and Al Sharpton have always been friendly. I would bet a lot of money that when they meet up now there's a conversation that is close to this:

Trump: What are you doing, Al? Everyday you're killing me.
Sharpton: Come on, Donnie. You know I have to maintain my brand.
Trump: I guess you learned something from me. :lol:

These guys yuk it up together while their constituents want to kill each other. Once the people who support Bernie and the people who support Trump realize they are actually after the same thing, you'll really see a new America. Power to The People right now.


I've always thought that something like this was going on with most of those guys. Even in these polarized times, it's still unusual to find someone who buys 100% of what either of the main parties are selling. If you're thinking through the issues on your own, you're going to break ranks with your party of choice at least a little bit. Yet, these talk radio hosts seem to always support the party line even when it differs from a position they used to support. It would be refreshing if they would break character here and there, but I think if they did that, a larger percentage of their fan base would come to see that these hosts don't believe a significant number of the arguments they are making and it would probably destroy the show.

I wouldn’t include Stern in that scenario. He was distinctly unsuccessful in his initial run in Chicago.

Yeah, true, don't think Ghislaine was ever really able to expand the brand.

He was always less popular in Chicago than he was accustomed to but I think that has to do more with the quality of the competition at the time than the quality of his work.

Each time I read this board, I continue to be amazed at how vile some people are but you really take the prize for being the most vile person on this board. Perhaps someday you will learn what being a good person really means.
