I keep reading all the beautiful condolences that people are writing about how much a part of their lives were effected by listening to him over the years.

Children’s Health Defense joins parents of vaccine-injured children and advocates for health freedom in remembering the life of Don Imus, a media maverick in taking on uncomfortable topics that most in the mainstream press avoid or shut down altogether. His commitment to airing all sides of controversial issues became apparent to the autism community in 2005 and 2006 as the Combating Autism Act (CAA) was being discussed in Congress. The Act, which was ultimately signed into law by George W. Bush in December of 2006, created unprecedented friction among parents of vaccine-injured children and members of Congress; parents insisted that part of the bill’s billion-dollar funding be directed towards environmental causes of autism including vaccines, while most U.S. Senators and Representatives tried to sweep any such connections under the rug.
Don Imus, Divisive Radio Shock Jock Pioneer, Dead at 79 - Imus in the Morning host earned legions of fans with boundary-pushing humor, though multiple accusations of racism and sexism followed him throughout his career By Kory Grow RollingStone
Don Imus Leaves a Trail of Way More Than Dust
By Michael Riedel - The one and only time I had a twinge of nerves before appearing on television was when I made my debut in 2011 on “Imus in the Morning” on the Fox Business Channel. I’d been listening to Don Imus, who died Friday at 79, since the 1990s as an antidote the serious (bordering on the pompous) hosts on National Public Radio. I always thought it would be fun to join Imus and his gang — news anchor Charles McCord, producer Bernard McGuirk, comedian Rob Bartlett — in the studio, flinging insults back and forth at one another. And now I had my chance. I was invited on to discuss to discuss “Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark,” the catastrophic Broadway musical that injured cast members daily.
Kinky told his friend the I-Man that he’s evolving on gun control because there’s a very viable option for him to run for governor of Texas as an old time Harry Truman Democrat. He called himself the perfect transitional candidate to flip the state.
Kinky Friedman Billy Bob Thornton told Imus that Kinky came to him with the idea of writing a book about growing up in small-town Arkansas and moving to Texas. The book was recorded and, therefore is an honest account of fascinating stories from his life.
Kinky Friedman told the I-Man that there are bad people getting into politics these days; the good people are staying away. He then went on to mention the book he’s writing with Willie Nelson, called The Troublemaker, but didn’t reveal much.
Kinky Friedman Phoning in from out in "Holly-woooooood," Kinky Friedman, who may or may not be writing a book for or with Billy Bob Thornton, has been very busy, he told Imus, "placing the hyphen between anal and retentive."
Kinky Friedman Having Kinky Friedman in studio this morning while he was in New York seemed like a great idea—a treat, in fact—until Kinky stood up and started doing shtick, telling a joke about an old man and a rake that barely worked for television and didn’t work for radio at all.
