It's been over 20 years since I wrote about Dr. Demento, so I figured I'm overdue. Here's what I wrote back then, when I was merely 30 years old.
As a youngster, I have vivid memories of tuning in "The Doctor Demento Show" show on my little transistor radio. I believe it was on Sunday nights on CHUMFM at 8:00pm and I was there every week.
Here's a fresh quote from Barry Hansen b.k.a. Dr. Demento himself.
I'm now 84 years old, and I have been doing this show for nearly 55 years -- about two-thirds of my life. It's been a blast, but I have come to the decision that I need to hang up my top hat soon. The show you just heard is the last of my regular shows.
I honestly didn't know the Dr. Demento show was still around, yet I'm still sad to hear it's ending. He gave me many a chuckle many moons ago.
