She referred to this clip Monday -- amazing to see her at that point in her life. Her ex-husband is the videographer -- this was her first radio job, one that Neil helped her get. I'd never heard of him before, but he's great in this clip. He passed away during the holidays.

She interviewed Alan Grayson Monday, excellent stuff.

I love this woman. Unconditionally. Anybody want to pick on her, start your own goddamn thread.

1. I loved Neil Rogers

and listened to him for many, many years. He was one of a kind and an absolute staple of Miami radio. I had the good fortune to meet him once in person, and he was lovely, despite his cantankerous on-air personality.

I grew up with Randi on my local rock radio station: 103.5, WSHE-FM. She's Only Rock and Roll.

3. Actually I listened to Randi regually in afternoon drive on WSHE

long before her WIOD days.

RIP Uncle Neil
