Dave is a sharp, entertaining guy who talks about stuff of interest to folks who are NOT ninety year-old right wing extremists. He never had a chance...
RE Barber/DePetro:
The long version is @ "Thanks for putting me on" and other threads on the Providence board.
Here's an excerpt of my post there:
For me, personally, this whole thing is an emotional roller-coaster. Having introduced Dave and WPRO, I'm as frustrated as his listeners, and many kind posters here. And if you've lurked here for a while, you also know me to be a John DePetro fan. John and I are BROTHERS-IN-LAW. (Or were. If I'm no longer married to his sister, is he now my ex-bro?) In The Providence Journal, Andy Smith called it "one of those small-state coincidences that are so typically Rhode Island." It was a kick to hear John light-up WHJJ the way he did.
And what Dave and John share is something I applaud WHEREVER I see it in my travels along the long radio road: work ethic. I've heard these guys do hundreds of shows, and never once heard either of 'em wing it. Their prep, their pressing-the-flesh/working-the-room/getting-out-into-the-community, their welcome for caller-after-caller, is, fortunately, a part of WPRO which will survive this awkward episode.
As The Bee Gees sang, ON WPRO:
"Whether you're a mother or whether you're a brother, you're stayin' alive, stayin' alive..."
