Christiern Posted November 10, 2008 Report Posted November 10, 2008 Sad news. I have admired John's mind since the mid-Sixties when we were both broadcasting at Pacifica stations. John did a wonderfully eventful night show on KPFA in San Francisco and I tried my best to be half as good with my own night show at WBAI in NYC. John was the "big cabbage of the night," I was "Uncle Chris." You may remember John from the CBS Sunday Morning show, where he did reviews, or from his writings in the NY Times.

BruceH Posted November 13, 2008 Report Posted November 13, 2008 They played an old interview with him on Fresh Air and he talked about a bad drinking problem he had at one time. I had no idea. In any case, 69 seems too young. RIP Quote
