Now THAT'S someone I haven't thought of in years! The late Gary D. Gilbert (1935-1995) used the name "Gary Dee" while on the air. Born in Hope, AR, his family moved to Exeter during the Dust Bowl. He went on to become famous in Cleveland as a talk-show host, and his stint there led many to regard him as radio's first "shock jock."
Yes, but it all began in Fresno on KMAK, where he often shouted, "I didn't saddle up to come in second!!!" He was married and divorced at least once, probably more times. He liked to trash his ex-wife on the air, followed by the old country-western standard "Mental Cruelty" by Buck Owens and Rose Maddox, the subject of which is a husband getting fleeced in divorce court.
