Riding/driving to school listening to Stevens and Pruett every morning is a fond memory

That's sad for his family.  Can't say I ever cared for their humor, but they were successful and popular; almost anyone's death is always very sad.

It pains me to hear anyone passing of Alzheimer's.

It seems unfortunately ironic given how crazy Mr. Pruett has gone.

I never liked Mark Stevens at all.  Jim Pruett was only passable in terms of listening to him.  But Stevens was never someone I could stomach for more than a few seconds.  But I did have one character I liked on their show: Eddie "The Boner" Sanchez.  I don't know who did the voice but whatever that guy said just made me laugh all the time.  It was a not something I can say I was proud I enjoyed, just had to give that character his due as a funny radio guy.

I used to live across the street (well, behind the vacant lot that was across the street) from the KLOL studio in the crime-free Montrose.  They parked the party bus about 5 feet from my bedroom window.  At any rate, between the party bus, my old roadie days, or just hanging out in bars, I used to hang with many folks from the old KLOL.  I drank beer with Outlaw Dave, watched baseball with Kevin "I'm Kevin, and I just don't know anymore" Dorsey, and Dayna Steele...well, we just won't go there.  I met Stevens and Pruett a couple of times, and went to their Holiday Ball once.  I thought they were both over the top, certifiably nuts.

Never met Grego, as far as I know.  I think Locke Siebenhausen was at the Ball I attended, but I don't remember much other than it was decidedly *not* rated PG-13.

Eddie Sanchez was an actual guy who actually used to mow lawns. A friend of mine dated and then married "Kathy" who was for a time the head Pruette.  As such I got to hang around some things I probably wouldn't have had access to otherwise. S&P were completely different guys off air from what you heard on the radio.

I thought Brian Shannon was the voice of The Boner?


I found this interesting.

His wake was held at Griff's on Friday night.  By all accounts a well attended and wild time.
