Comments
A few weeks after his show launched, one commenter on a local blog said, “Stacy Taylor seems extremely uncomfortable in ‘pretending’ to be liberal....”
Bingo -- that's the way he came across during his entire KLSD tenure. The contempt in his voice for the content of his show was palpable. I don't think you can go partying in Tijuana strip clubs with Roger Hedgecock and not be simpatico.
