Here's Glenn Beck, before he was "Glenn Beck"
Glenn Beck is a controversial, political show host and author now, but he used to be a crazy radio DJ. You can probably still see some of that in his work. Here's a promo he did for for Y95 back in the 80s. It has all of the things that are now cliche, including wacky sounds, animals, and the term "morning zoo." Actually, they were probably cliche back then too.

GB is a total sellout. I used to hear him on radio in I think Texas or Florida about 7 years ago. He was "anti-establishment" but way less political and way more centered. He's totally found a way to be successful and is playing it up. He's an entertainer and it's sad that he's making a buck off of attaching himself to people's true worries.

He actually was the host of a morning show in CT for many years. He was funny but now I'm not a fan.

We all have to start somewhere.
Maybe someday, if we're lucky, Bob will become King of Media - and we'll all laugh at those wacky blog posts he used to write...

He's an inflammatory hate mongering dildo cashing in on a shtick. He makes Americans look bad. I can't wait until he's gone.

That's what I like most about liberals, their tolerance.

This clip has been on the internet for years - I even think Glenn hosted it on his own website for sometime. Glenn is an open book about his past and his life, he owns up to his mistakes.

He went from being a drugged out nut to a political nut.
One thing has been consistent.
