Bob Grant, nee Gigante Has Died - A Great Man Has Passed...

[Selene]

One of the most memorable controversies surrounding Grant’s career came in 2008 when Radio and Records revoked a Lifetime Achievement Award for “past comments that contradict our values and the respect we have for all members of our community.” The talk radio community rallied behind Grant, with Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Howard Stern, Mark Levin and others coming to Grant’s defense. Levin fumed, “I am disgusted with the mistreatment of Bob Grant. I am fed up with the censors, intimidators, and cowards in this business.”

I can't even remember when this man was not a voice on the radio that I listened to with rapt attention.

RIP

I feel sad that I will not hear "Get Off My Phone" ( Dr Levin is close) or "Mario Mario.. ."

I will head out to the Reo Diner in Woodridge New Jersey and raise a toast to Bob. This was his favorite restaurant.
