In the early 1990s, Bob’s marriage broke up, and that, combined with the election of Bill Clinton, caused him to totally go off the rails. Man, he sure didn’t like Clinton. I still have a cassette tape somewhere that’s a compilation of some of his more outrageous moments; I had a job where I listened to his show on a small ghetto blaster with headphones. Do you also remember the Tina Chopp people? ---

Ah Slayer, I remember as a disturbed teen listening to Slayer on Sunday mornings while watching muted televangelists sermons on the TV. (Weed was involved) (BTW, is this thread stuck in some sort of time continuum loop from 25 years ago?) ---

Actually, for what it is worth, a-ha stayed really big outside the U.S. They filled 10,000 seat venues up until they broke up a few years ago. A friend of mine did some producing work for them around 2008 and was struck by how well off they were. ---
