"NE Sailboat" wrote in news:0LOSh.8142$FC5.5052
@trndny06: Just wanted to share my distaste for Imus with some folks who understand what it is like to struggle, try to keep up with a little sailboat, do all kinds of work on their boat, and don't go around calling folks with less money losers. You need to read Imus' bio..... http://www.biography.com/search/article.do?id=9542196 He lived in a laundromat in 1960. He's been a brakeman on the Southern Pacific Railway, homeless, and got started as a DJ in Palmdale, CA in 1968. He's already been fired from NBC a couple of times....and regularly ridicules company brass signing his fat paycheck. He came from a small ranch, a broken home, his parents divorced when he was 15. He left high school and joined the Marines, never graduating. Yeah, Imus is a real kid born with a platinum spoon in his ass. I've never lived in a laundromat, homeless. I never made what he makes, now, either. Imus is a self-made man....made by his audience buying products. I can understand why he's not too fond of the limo crowd. Noone has earned less money then Don Imus at certain periods of his life....or been drunker...or higher, probably...(c; Larry -- |
