I'm glad X-Ray made so many LOL. I really liked him but he almost never made me laugh -- just smile. A lot. Even made me think. Same effect on the late Listener Steve. Neither of us cared much for Jonesy's music selections, we just tuned in to their mic break...and I tended to tune out when X wasn't in.

Irwin: Touching words about X-Ray. On Monday I went to Rutt's Hut to have some "rippers" and fries with gravy in honor of Ken. Rutt's Hut had black memorial bows on the entrance doors. I put a "ripper" out on the outside wall where a gull swooped down and gobbled it up. I'm convinced this was X-Ray have one last "ripper" for the road.
  4:11pm

Yeah, me too Rob. Never understood it, but I could always listen to X-Ray. He could read a store list & I'd be captivated. I'll miss him. The world needs more fantastic freaks.

Second time I've heard a track from Another World on FMU tht I thought was okay. When I first bought that album, I thought the first few tracks (after the cover of Come Softly Darling, that is) were so terrible that I sold it to St Marks Sounds without even listening to the entire album. Looks like I may have been hasty.
