Tom Magliozzi , RIP

Good guys-76Tom Magliozzi died Monday morning from complications of Alzheimer’s Disease. Tom, along with his brother Ray, were Click and Clack the Tappet Brothers on NPR’s Car Talk, one of my very favorite programs on my favorite radio network. I loved Car Talk and I don’t think that had as much to do with the fact that it was about cars as it was about humor. Both humor as in comedy and humor as in good humor, in which they abounded. They always seemed to be having fun.

I’ll miss him, I’ll miss Car Talk.

 

Turns out he wasn’t kidding,” said Ray. “He really couldn’t remember last week’s puzzler.” 1

  1. I didn’t even realize that NPR had stopped taping new shows over two years ago. I think we’ll have Car Talk around for quite a while to come.

    1. I didn’t realize it either. I guess I am enough of a traditionalist that it won’t be the same.
