Blasting With Boyles OPINION When I left KLAK and the morning show almost 40 years ago and headed to talk radio, looming in the city was The Denver Post, the Rocky Mountain News, powerful AM stations like KOA and KHOW. Channel 9 had Ed Sardella and Adele Arakawa, and before them Carl Akers. Opposing them were Bob Palmer and John Lindsey.

Blasting with Boyles OPINION What does the media have in common with the first three? Not much. I am a UFC MMA fan. I tried to fight as a young man and wasn’t very successful, but I think I understand the mind of a fighter. So, I bought the Paramount Plus Sunday Night Fights on the White House lawn. And frankly, the last fight of the night may have been the greatest I’ve ever seen. It was incredible. Next comes patriotism. It’s how I feel, my love, devotion, or attachment to this country.

Blasting with Boyles OPINION Colorado has a rich history of colorful outlaws, ruthless gunman, and swindlers. The list of Colorado’s notorious crooks and outlaws includes Soapy Smith; The Ku Klux Klan Grand Dragon during the 1920s, Dr. John Galen Locke; the Smaldone family; our very own local mafia with great names like Cadillac Jack Abranoff, Charles Ponzi, and of course with representation in Colorado, the talented Bernie Madoff. Now enter the dragon.
