Terry Dorsey retires today.

[whitetrash]

Yep. Same here. But I took a bass-ackwards trip in getting there.

My dad has long held that he will "die at the switch." He has no desire to retire because that would mean he actually has to talk to my mom.

Lol I told my wife Id never retire because I can't stand the thought of being with her all day everyday

RIP Terry... Had some fun times

[line-em-up]

RIP man.

My father will be 75 this year, and is still working 60+ hours a week. Works circles around people less than half his age, and it's impressive to see. I wish he would retire, so he can enjoy what little life he has left. However, he is old school in every sense, and firmly believes that "when you retire, you die".


RIP Dorsey.

My old man is the same way. I worry about him, but it is what it is. His retirement he's been building on will never payoff on the restful side.

Work may be what kept him alive. A lot of folk feel like they lose purpose after retiring

I think this happens quite a bit. People, particularly men, get so vested in their job, they know nothing else... it's their whole life. They don't want to retire, but are often forced out and then become lost as they no longer have a purpose in life.

12 months later and it curtains.

I wonder if Dorsey was force retired or if it was on his own terms? He seemed to really enjoy his position over there from outward appearances.

Anyone know any of the behind the scenes skinny?

The way I heard it, he just up and retired with a week's notice.

He was sick and it was his choice in retiring.

I listened to a bit of the show this morning. They said he had planned his retirement a year prior to actually retiring, but only gave his colleagues a weeks notice or so.

I hadn't heard read that he was sick, though I wondered if it was some kind of illness.

[David]

Some of his more recent pictures he looks ill.

[Unicorn Jeff]

Yeah he kept it a secret for months. I was talking to Hawkeye at my wedding and he said that Terry was going to try to fly down for the wedding but wasn't feeling well

All and all it's a sad situation

[mardyn]

Didn't realize he was sick...

Fare well Dorsey, you provided us with many hours of great entertainment over the years.

I don't dislike Bo & Jim, but it seems like their shtick has been exactly the same for 25 years (or more- I've been listening for ~25 years). Like Led Zeppelin's music, it's not bad -just old.



I actually like the Russ Martin show. There ore often juvenile jokes, but the 'feel' of the show is very casual and it is sometimes funny.

I listen to a lot more AM talk and NPR these days. Yeah, I'm getting old.

When russ come on I turn the change quick his show suck the guy with the goofy ass laugh needs to be punched in the throat
