I thought I just heard on the news that Paul Harvey died (today?) at the age of 90, but I can’t seem to find anything about it on the internet. Does anyone have any information about this?
Wikipedia shows his death as of today, 28 February, 2009 but I cannot find a single source anywhere else to confirm this. Maybe it’s going to take a day or two to publish all the details of his passing.
Seriously? I think he was national. He had a radio program for as long as I can remember. He always told an inspirational story and ended it with “and now the rest of the story” and it was usually someone famous that had came from hardship.
@gailcalled – He also had a very idiosyncratic way of speaking, with his beats in odd places. I know a number of comedians made fun of his style when I was a kid, Rich Little in particular.
