Three Little Words
Someone had the foresight not to let a talent like Don Imus go to waste. WABC out him back on the air in New York where he belongs. And in the resulting media coverage of his return, more people heard and read the words he said at WNBC that had heard them when he actually SAID them.
I’ve been a Don Imus fan since 1970. I got to meet him at a rare radio convention appearance, where he packed the ballroom just because he was there. I have his two novels, which are an absolute scream.
I hope his run at WABC lasts as long as his previous gig.
But Imus is under the microscope now. I think everything he does or says will be looked at twice. Whether he thinks so or not, he is now stealthily saddled with constraints. No matter what the media reports, it won’t be the same. And that’s too bad.
