As mentioned above, thought I would have some fun. Heh heh heh. Took 3 takes!

This dude is saying that the Chrysler brand is going away!?!     Walt Chrysler himself plucked my Gramps out of Chrysler Engineering to be his chauffeur.  Gramps agreed to do it for one year.  Now the whole brand might be disappeared.     Save the Pentastar!

Of course trying to sell a Jeep SUV for 120 grand might not be the best business model.

I'm sorry for your loss.  I wasn't aware they still made Chrysler brand things, assumed they went the way of Pontiac.

Thanks.  They still have a minivan and a few unsold Chrysler 300 2023's on the lots.   The 300 came off the same line as the Dodge Charger and Challenger up in Brampton in @Bart Ell neck of the woods.  AFAIK the only line around that produced three models on one line.  Impressive!

Hope StarrMountain is well.  She has not posted in quite sometime.

She is still occasionally on Azzgab. Remember that old place? Her last reported post was July 18.

Replying from work, cannot watch the video.

Ramona did "dabble" but at the same time was a Catholic. I have always found that odd. You can find Catholics who practice Santa Maria ETC. Huh. Weird.

Heathers show. I missed the boat on that one. Never cared to listen to another 'Gabber' in Art's seat. Just a big bowl of wrong.  I made it through 35-40 minutes of the free show on the URL that was shared above. The guest, I suspect, was mentally compromised, and she comes across as very insincere in her delivery IMO.  @Smokin Hot Bob

PS her vocal audio was very weak as well. That said, maybe she's a very nice and sweet person. I have no idea.

This is a quote from reddit and sums it up for me.

I found Heather, regardless of all the crazy side trip aspects associated with her doing those various late nite shows, whether for art bell or herself, to be a talk show host par excellence! She was always very well prepared. She was always very well spoken, both diction wise and knowledge wise. She was always the consummate host to her guests, treating them with the utmost respect and given them as much freedom to say whatever they wanted to say, as can be expected from a radio host. She explained several times, in detail, how she felt that radio was her life and her calling and I agreed 100% !! At the same time, I found her to have the uncanny ability to give her HUMANITY at the same time and to be able to somehow blend that side of her in with her impeccable radio hosting/interviewer skills. I never once heard her let that humanity that she never held back on, interfere with her being able to produce a quality show, keeping the show topic at the forefront. I just cannot believe these ppl who keep saying how bad she was as host. NO TRUTH TO THAT AT ALL! She had the ability to juggle her personal feelings and stories and still deliver a great interview. Her guests always seemed very comfortable with her and seemed to like her and her interviewing skills. She had a dual show. She loved to begin with her personal stuff and the news of the day and times in the 1st hour and when taking about her personal stuff, definitely wore her feelings on her sleeve and that humanity is what I loved about her and she was pretty much the only talk show host that did so and was able to pull it off..

Ppl here and esp on bellgab spoke disparagingly about her for getting emotional and for often talking about her cats. Her fans would call in or text in and ask her about her cars. Her cats were her family and pets are as much personalities as ppl so she spent some speaking about them and their antics. I much rather hear delightful stories like that than all the horrible news going on in the world, but she gave THAT as well and peppered it with some very fair, balanced and morally high grounded commentary. She was so interesting a person. But when it came to the interview topic, she was as professional as can be and had real skill at being able to ask great questions of the guest and attain some real in depth info.

Those who say she sucked at hosting are nuts. All you have to do is find some, any of her shows and just listen. Great interviews and you could tell in every case that the guests appreciated her skills.

Meltdowns? 1st, let me say that yes, she left and came back a few times and left the listeners with something to be desired. She did her best I guess explain her demons and usually felt she did a pretty good job of that. I disagree with the overly used characterizations of her having "meltdowns". Even on the occasions when she obviously became overcome emotionally with the issues that affected her badly like the constant extremely rude nasty vulgar comments from bellgab and her grief with art bells DEATH, I STILL hear her fight so hard to keep it together on the air when those subjects came up, which often were those rude and uncaring ppl calling in to the show to purposely harass her. Most of the time she handled it well but sometimes she let them get to her and I clearly remember how hard she fought to maintain the decorum of the show. I enjoyed her as one of the best radio talk show hosts I ever listened to. I never liked having to miss her shows. SHE WAS REAL NOT A PHONY IN ANY WAY. I miss her and hope she's doing ok. She did many many shows. I bet art bell walked out and then came back more times than her... Art Bell knew what he was doing when he chose her for the job! She was a radio great radio host. Her shows were excellent on numerous counts.

Ok, there were a lot of good points in there, but, did she write that?

It would be brilliant if she did. That particular poster goes back about 3 years and if you analyze everything it looks original.

This is a quote from reddit and sums it up for me.

I happened to be close to her for a time.  She told me about some horrific trauma that she experienced in her life.  For manifold reasons, I view her differently than many on Bellgab and Ellgab.  And when I see how she was abused by peeps associated with both sites, it makes me feel some admiration that she's experienced everything that she has without giggling into a shotgun.  I think that would have been my fate if our places were reversed.

This was part of a very engaging and personal interview she gave in 2018 mentioning several traumatic experiences.

The one that started it all.

I thought her music and guitar shows were her best. She seemed to be really interested in them.  If she had gotten a real music license, she may have been able to make a go of it.

Her arrogance was off putting, as was her Art Bell voice affectation.  Couldn't get past that.

Wonderful. Thanks!

I haven't had my coffee yet, excuse my lack of reading comprehension...

About the comments that she was well prepared for her show... Asking questions as supplied by the guest is one thing. BS artist Heather often, not occasionally, not most of the time, often claimed to have personal experience with the subject at hand.

Somebody could call up and say that they had mold growing on their sexual organ and she would say "Oh yeah when I was 4 years old I had that..." Okay, bad analogy!

Remember, she wanted to be Crystal Gayle, she was a tattoo artist that 3 years old, she made caskets at 4 years old, or was that a tattoo artist at 4 years old? Maybe it's both! Plausible!
