I wonder if anyone has claimed the RE-27 microphone Imus was using on WFAN.
Guess he won't be using it.
A few years ago they traded out an RE-20, seen below, reportedly because he mumbled so much. The '27 is a bit brighter on the top end, not that you'd want to have him all that clear anyway.

I always thought the RE20 made a good kick drum mic.

I wonder if anyone got his chair. He won't be using that too. Or the mic boom or the cord. Oh, wait. CBS probably owns all that stuff, so it won't go anywhere.  |

Eww,
I wouldn't want the chair.
Even the mic lacked a spit guard.
I sold ZRF the 421 that TimTron once belched into.

Nope, we used an SM58 on our Drummer's bass/kick drum. I know a lot of people like SM57s. For vocals - uh uh, give me my personal SM58 any day. I always found SM57s to be too midrangey for vocals. I think they're only OK for guitar. But a guy we usually hired to do sound for us, was lazy - he never was on the ball, with jacking me up, when I did solos. Also, he would set the sound kind of thin out of the PA. After we hired a guy (who did sound on the side - his main music gig of all things, was playing in a death metal band) to do sound for us, and used direct boxes for our guitars, that had speaker cabinet simulation cicuitry built into them (they sounded pretty good), I ended up going to a guitar direct box. Still, in a pinch, SM57s are decent all around mics. 73, Ellen - AF9J Guitarist at large nah, yer basic 421 handles it better

I wasn't a real fan of Imus but a black reporter got it right on nbc this morning
Al S. and Jessey are a couple of jerks looking to get on the news spreading their hate. How about that rap music crap sung by who? Clesn your own house first!

Well, now that I know its (the 421) history I'll have it bronzed. Maybe that'll take away that tell tale odor I've been wondering about........  |

I won't even speculate on the gooey residue that resembled snot that was all over the black cloth located beneath the metal screen of a D-104 I once picked up at a hamfest.
I took the thing apart and cleaned all the parts before I attempted to use it.

Guy calling himself "Will The Farter" appeared on the Stern show. Lots of close-in miking going on. I wonder where that SM58 is now.  |

And someone buying a chair Imus farted into for 5 years isn't disgusting?  |

Gaseous dialogue going on here.
Somewhat elevating the discussion... After a really good dry cleaning I wouldn't mind getting the hat. Wonder if it ever saw the real side of a ranch.

BTW as a Gen Xer I have a question. Why did Imus always walk around looking he was some hippie burnout? I would assume that he realized that poeple who look like that often aren't taken seriously?
Ellen - AF9J
Who saw lots of hippie burnouts at her alma mater, the Univ. of Wisconsin (a very Left Wing school)

You know, if Imus had only joked about some greasy blond haired sluts from Bayonne, he'd still be on the air.

Ahhhhhhhh that's right!,
I forgot, some people are still caught up in the "let's do coke" 70s. I guess for them, the song "Life in the Fast Lane" by the Eagles, is an anthem. Thanks for the insight.
