It's the same Sandy and he's very much alive, a cancer survivor in fact. You may have heard him while he was undergoing treatment. Chemo and radiation are no picnic, but he went to work. His political bent is contrary to mine, but from what I hear he remains clever and enjoys what he's doing. That said, there will come a day when he says no mas. When that happens, there will be a huge void, much like the void many AM talk stations will face when Rush cashes it in. These talk stations may try to develop new players, but many of them just don't pass the litmus test with listeners.
