Robert D. Raiford, the "curmudgeon-at-large" on the John Boy and Billy Show, died Friday at age 89.

The time he read the bit about "felching" remains a classic.

"You know, you never have a guaranteed spot until you have a spot guaranteed."
—Olaf Kolzig, as quoted in the Washington Times on March 28, 2003,
commenting on the Capitals clinching a playoff spot.

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"
—Kolzig, to the same reporter a few seconds later.

I accept and respect your identity as long as it's not dumb shit like "identifying as a vaccinated attack helicopter".

The only man who brought sense & sensibility to a show filled with non-sense. I may be the only one who will miss him.
Runnin' roads and polishin' rails.

God for a 5 year stretch in the mid to late 90's I don't think I missed a broadcast, including the "Best Of's".
