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.
Bo Dietl was unwilling to divulge how much money he used to bet on football games, so instead he pressed Imus on how many drugs he used to use in one night. "We'd go through two or three grams, at least," Imus freely provided, unhappy that Bo was being evasive. "Answer the question, or Charles and I will make you answer it."
Bo Dietl Sally Quinn is the co-moderator of the Washington Post/Newsweek feature entitled On Faith, and recently began a new feature there about interfaith marriages. Since nearly 40 percent of people in this country are in one, Quinn believes the subject is topical as ever.
Sally Quinn Author James Bradley has a knack for revealing closely guarded information, as he did in 2003's Flyboys, which focused on events subsequent to the Battle of Iwo Jima in World War II. In his latest book, The Imperial Cruise, Bradley uncovered what he called "the original spark" that dragged the United States into the Pacific theater of war in the 1940s.
James Bradley Tony Hendra wrote one of Imus's favorite books, Father Joe. He also co-wrote George Carlin's autobiography Last Words, which will debut next weekend at number seven on the New York Times Best-Seller List. "That's the fastest he's ever been on the Best-Seller List," said Hendra, who met Carlin in the 1960s. "And the only major show we did last week was Imus in the Morning."
Tony Hendra Chris Wallace was mortified by his Fox News colleague Neil Cavuto's five favorite songs, which the I-Man was playing on today's show. In fact, two of the selections, YMCA and The Wind Beneath My Wings, led Wallace to wonder if Cavuto was actually a woman. Imus defended his pal Cavuto's taste in music, calling it "eclectic." Wallace insisted these selections were unacceptable, leading Imus to one conclusion about his guest.
