NARN: Bucket List Saturday
By Mitch Berg
I’ve had a list of people, for much of my talk radio career (including the first one, back in 1986-1987 at KSTP) of guests I’ve always wanted to interview. The list has grown and shrunk over the decades, but usually has been some variant on this one:
- Lech Walesa
- Pope John Paul II
- Ronald Reagan (this is going back a few years)
- Simon Wiesenthal
- Jack Kemp (regrettably also impossible now)
- Levi Stubbs (ditto)
- Steve Forbes
- Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
- Margaret Thatcher
- Brett Schundler
- Stanislaus Schmajzner
- Bruce Springsteen
- George H.W. Bush (and Dubya, too)
- Little Richard
- Mike Ditka
- Paul Johnson
Tomorrow on the NARN, Ed and I will be interviewing one of them.

If you got the Iron Lady on the phone, I will be impressed.
Little Richard…..heard him play a few years ago and was rather impressed. The old man has a tight band and is more than just an oldies novelty act.

Mr D +1. (Provided these people somehow magically comport with whatever point Penigma is trying to make at the moment.

I notice that the only black people on your list are entertainers or sports figures.
No hyper-geniuses like Barack Obama, Cornel West, or Al Sharpton.
This list is racist.

Mr D for the win!
