This Show
Part 1: RIP Leonard Cohen
Dale opens by discussing Leonard Cohen’s death at 82, though the show quickly veers into personal territory: Dale reminisces about high school friends who died (Ross Buford drowning in the Rio Grande, others in car accidents), discusses his dogs and a documentary that made him miss his old Jack Russell, and recommends the Irish film ‘Sing Street.’ The segment devolves into Dale venting about KLBJ-AM listeners who’ve been calling him ‘old and crusty’ for his anti-Trump views, and his fear of attending a remote broadcast for veterans at Lamb’s Tire because of confrontational Trump supporters.
