Dave Rabbit

On Thursday, August 29, I discovered something while listening to the Opie & Anthony Show - Dave Rabbit.

Dave Rabbit was the alter-ego of one Clyde David DeLay, who sadly passed away on January 20, 2012.  His show was called Radio First Termer, and it operated for 21 days in January 1971 apparently out of a room in the back of a whorehouse in Saigon during the Vietnam War.

The Opie & Anthony Show brought it up in February 2008.  While I'm a regular listener of the show, I only catch bits and pieces during the day, usually on my way home from work.  I had completely missed this episode, which thankfully reappeared during a listener request show last week.

Bits and pieces from one show have made it to the internet.  Warning: it's filthy, it's raunchy, but most importantly, it's funny.  I don't agree with some of his takes on the military and drugs, but that doesn't mean I'm not entertained.  I'm all for saying what you want on radio; if you don't like it, turn it off!  If you're prepared, visit this site and you can download what remains of the show.

Here's Dave's Podcast site.

Here's more on Dave from About.com. And here's info that he himself came out with a few years back (incidentally, he went public before the O&A show put it out to its listeners).
