End of an Era for Radio

[Bamagan]

So, I just read that Dr. Demento announced his retirement from broadcasting today. I haven't really listened to radio in years, but his program was an old favorite, and if my current eclectic tastes in music can be attributed to any particular sources, he would be among them.
A tip of the top hat to a legend.

I met Doctor Demento a convention years ago. He was very nice to someone who fangirled at him in an embarrassing way.

Gosh. Haven't listened to Dr. Demento since... since... since my freshman year in college!

My favorite regular tune on his show:

This is sad to hear. I'm pleased to say I've passed on my enthusiasm for Dead Puppies to my kids.

He hasn't been on the radio for quite a while, but it is indeed a sad day. I've been listening to him for over forty years!

Much of his catalog of shows is available for streaming (for a small price) at his website, drdemento.com I believe.
