he had a couple cars after that and kept the same license plate. I saw it parked many times back in the day in the parking garage behind what is now the Filmore and caty cornered to what is now the Wells Fargo building .
I met him in the early 80's when he was doing the college speaking circuit. A couple CREEPs were friends of my family too. I probably met some of the more notorious Watergate figures when I was a kid without even knowing it.

That was when he was doing a radio show for Radio America, a third tier radio syndicator.
He used to arrive at work blairing German marching band music to pump himself up.
When he worked at WJFK, he said he used pictures of Hillary as rifle target practice. Damn if the Secret Service weren't waiting for him in the station lobby the next morning.
He soon lost the gig at WJFK when they moved Don and Mike to middays, and Opie and Anthony to PM Drive.
Used to listen to G's radio show when it aired. The guy was a die hard conservative and an ardent supporter of the 2nd amendment. A real American man. RIP G-man.

I once heard Liddy say the stunt backfired. He did it to convince someone that "they" could not make Liddy talk. Instead it convinced the person to talk.
I frequently disagreed with Liddy. Of the conservative talking heads I did have more respect for him than for many. Liddy spoke from personal conviction, not from political expediency. In the immediate aftermath of 9-11 he was one of the few on the right to be publicly calling out the administration for its clamp down on American civil rights in the name of national security. That is not to say that I admire his personal convictions, many of which were questionable.

He made a point of saying as a convicted felon, he was prohibited from owning a gun. But his wife, Francis P owned several.
His radio show was entertaining sometimes. Liddy did have a fair amount of knowledge about many subjects, with a lot of it being wrong factually. He always took pains to show that he was this upright straight-shooting guy, but he stiffed a friend of mine out of $15,000. He was thrown out of the FBI for being a fuckup. He fucked up the Watergate burglary big time. He acted like he was this military genius but he never served.
Interesting guy, but really he was mostly bullshit.

I admired Liddy up until he supported McCain for president. The level that Liddy went to prop up that piece of shit McCain was a deal breaker for me so I stopped listening o his radio show.
McCain was part of the Keating 5 and was a ring leader for the gang of 14.
McCain wasn’t a Maverick, he was a piece of shit that was on the public dole his whole life.
I so disliked McCain that when Liddy expressed support it was the end of listening to his show.
Can’t really say I could care one way or another now that Liddy has passed. I know he was a American legend but McCain was a deal breaker.
