Well, you probably thought I would write about tonight’s Battle in Nashville. Well, I was debating it (pauses), but something else in the news caught my eye.
Tonight’s news brings a report of the death of Lloyd Thaxton. Some of you will be going “Lloyd Who?” Still others will remember Lloyd from his work on David Horowitz’s Fight Back, or his teen dance program on KCOP 13. But that’s not how I remember Lloyd.
I remember Lloyd as a voice on KABC radio every Sunday afternoon. I would listen to Lloyd as a high school student, driving back and forth to Wilshire Blvd Temple where I was student teaching. His weekend show was all humor and fun.
So, as we go on with our political and life discussions, let’s pause to remember the very funny Lloyd Thaxton. I’ve already left a condolence note on his blog.
