Tom Magliozzi...77...

[Craig]

I recall quite well the first time I heard Car Talk. It was on the road to a friend's house back around 1990. Funniest damn radio show I had ever heard. Ostensibly about cars, it covered many other subjects as well, as was expected from these two brotherly MIT grads. I remained an avid and loyal listener from that point on. The reruns are still good, but it isn't the same knowing the brothers aren't there anymore.

It is people like Tom Magliozzi that make the world a better place. His humor, intelligence and wisdom were eagerly invited into my house every Saturday morning.

Thanks for the laughs...

I used to schedule Saturday mornings so I'd have errands to run in the car, just so I could listen to "Car Talk." I was sad when they went into re-runs (of course, I didn't know about Tom's alzheimer's disease). Sadder still now. It's not the kind of show that can be replicated.
