Bob Larson - Bob's Advice To Mandy
Bob Larson. Maybe you've seen him up late at night while flipping through television channels exorcising demons from helpless young children addicted to Satanic Rock Music? Bob has been campaigning against the Devil for years, having released Records, Videos, Books and Cassettes.
Today's selection comes from a tape found in a Seattle thrift store a few years back. Here Bob talks to a young girl named Mandy who is in love with the group The Cure. Just listen as Bob attacks such lyrical lines as, "...Feed the stench of love for younger meat..."

This has got to be one of the most difficult and frustrating
things I've yet to hear. You just want to strangle the
guy or jump in a shout him down or something, I mean a
grown man vs a 13 year old girl? What are the odds on
that? His examples and sweeping generalizations are nasty
enough but you can almost hear her teenage mind trying
to compute the info he's feeding her and just as she starts
to answer he'll come back in with another one to knock
her down. She's putting up a pretty good fight on the
face of it but I've only got a third of the way through
and had to turn it off!

I suppose that veteran broadcaster Bob Larson considered
it a great "victory" to have won a battle of
wits with a nervous and not very articulate thirteen year
old girl. (He must have, since he published it on a cassette).
While it is true that music is vibration, and vibration
can cause physical and mental changes in the listener,
Larson's way of trying to explain this to Mandy is so
sanctimonious and self-aggrandizing that his original
point is nearly invalidated. This is a potent reminder
of why I detest talk radio.

Wow, it"s great to here the old "Talk Back
with Bob Larson' show after all these years. If there
really is such a thing as sin it"s that this hilarious
program went off the air and that when he returned he
gave up the "Christian Crusader' gimmick and
tried to pass him off as a second rate Rush Limbaugh.
Perhaps he didn"t get enough $1000 Heroes, $500 Champions,
and……hell, it"s been so long I forget what
the lower denominations were called. I used to call this
show all the time and even got through once. He called
me "pathetic' and hung up on me. I saw the guy
live one time and about halfway through the show his slaves
went through the audience with ultra jumbo-sized popcorn
containers to collect money to keep the "Hope Line'
open so that teens troubled by demonic possession would
have someplace to call for help. However, I can"t
say as I remember seeing any ads with the phone number
anywhere—you"d think they"d be targeting
people like me! I now curse myself for not taping these
episodes! It was always my impression that kids like we
heard on this segment were not even real and were, in
fact, paid actors. Scenarios like this one seemed to go
down all the time and some of them seemed a little too
much to be believed. Anyone have any copies of old Bob
Larson for trade? PAROFVTU@attbi.com.
