Waitman Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Drinking but not driving to Tom Maglliozzi aka either Click or Clack Tappet, who kept me and especially Stephanie company for uncounted Saturdays of errand-running and child-ferrying over many years. Of Alzheimers. Said brother Ray, in a statement, "Turns out he wasn't kidding -- he really couldn't remember last weeks puzzler." 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hersch Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Yeah, here's to Tommy. He almost certainly made me laugh more than anyone else I ever listened to on the radio. The first time I ever heard their show, I was driving out of Boston on the Mass Pike. I almost ran off the road, I was laughing so hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraB Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 ...uncounted Saturdays of errand-running and child-ferrying over many years. Yes! My son, who will be 31 next week, once told me that he considered 'Car Talk' to be the soundtrack of his childhood-- so many Saturday mornings driving him to Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, soccer games.....it was endless. It's really sad to have such an institution fade away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hersch Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 To Mr. Barry Thanks for posting the link. That's by far the best assessment of Marion Barry I've read since his death. The comments to it are largely disgusting, unfortunately. Here's to Mr. Barry's memory, such as it is. I've lived with him for a very long time.

Tujague Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 To Steve Cymrot, proprietor of Riverby Books, one of the greatest used bookstores in the Mid-Atlantic region, both on Capitol Hill and its original store in Fredericksburg, Virginia.

Pat Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 To Steve Cymrot, proprietor of Riverby Books, one of the greatest used bookstores in the Mid-Atlantic region, both on Capitol Hill and its original store in Fredericksburg, Virginia. What a horribly sad loss. I just saw that. How awfully sad. I hadn't realized he was the person hit in that accident. He and his wife have been really important to the civic life of Capitol Hill for a long time. (It's also mentioned here, for people who get anti-virus alerts going to that other site. I don't what the problem is, as it's a legitimate site. At some point a while back, I started to get virus warnings every time I went there. I ignore them, maybe at my own peril.)

The Hersch Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I just heard on WPFW today that Don Covay died on January 30. I once possessed what at the time was possibly the largest collection of Don Covay albums (like seven or eight) in the known universe. Don Covay was a Washingtonian, and had a few R&B hits (most famously, probably, "Mercy, Mercy", which was later covered by the Rolling Stones), and also wrote or co-wrote a bunch of songs that were big hits for other artists, notably "Pony Time" for Chubby Checker, "Chain of Fools" for Aretha Franklin, and "Letter Full of Tears" for Gladys Knight and the Pips. I first got turned on to Don Covay in 1971 or 1972, when somebody played his 1969 album House of Blue Lights for me. I was especially struck by the song "The Blues Don't Knock", which a friend described as acid blues. Here's to you, Superdude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
