Tom Leykis on Politics (1988)

[@mozahdek]

Nice, I always wanted to hear clips of Leykis from his KFI days. His voice changed so much over the years, before the mold in his three story home and allergies took its toll on him.

[@domofswitch]

Tom was/is the Best in the Business. Period!

[@peacockkae]

wow, he sounds totally different

[@WasteTime4Passwords]

That's Tom's "AM" voice. He can still do that. "Old School" Monotone, "AM Radio," voice when he wants. Every "today" talk-show host on FM stations slip into those voices when they talk about their early, career days in radio, to get where they are now so they can use their normal voices. Not to argue about the weight.. I hope he diets, healthier in the future.

Tom sounds better now, than in 1988

[@JohnRHaganJr-jm2vt]

Agree

[@WasteTime4Passwords]

Leykis sounded so different, until the end when he said, "They'll never vote for him, his wife's an alcoholic. That's the kind of country we live in," and then it sounded just like he does today on his new internet show. I wish someone had recorded the segment about the complaints. I'm sure that LA and Orange County's hard-core, blind-patriotic conservatives had something to say on the birth of new caller-demographics. Leykis again, like today, "We don't care about your complaints." Good record.

What the hell?! This is Tom? Wowzer. What happened to his voice?

[@SteveCarras]

One of Tom Leykis's greatest was February 27, 1992, Elizabeth Taylor's 60th, when she had Disneyland all to herself for her big birthday bash and Tom Leykis was dumbfounded about the whole thing.

[@RobConstantine]

@hatman3636 I remember these days..I think he just wore his voice out or possibly heart stress..The last time I saw a picture he was quite heavy.

[@kme321]

What a shock, he didnt sound annoy annoying!

[@johnhagan9271]

Tom was also married at the time, navie

[@cavendash]

While he covered a lot of the same subjects, Tom was maybe a little less cynical in those days, too.

[@LisaRichards_123]

I can’t believe what a waste it was when Tom went from having the best radio show in LA to going on a crusade of women hating. What a waste. He had the coolest show before that.

[@BrandonBarbera]

Most women dont listen to politics so, he made a show that captures both people.

[@LisaRichards_123]

Brandon Barbera That is a sexist and stupid comment.

[@BrandonBarbera]

@@LisaRichards_123 But true, Thank you.
