All those replies about Danny are from me.
I know probably not many people will read this, but I just want to share more memories that I have of Danny. We talked a lot at night because I had really bad insomnia back then (still do actually) and he was working the shift overnight so we would talk while he was at work. He lived right by the gas station that he worked at, and would ride his bike to work every night. His girlfriend worked in an office setting. I think she took the bus to work every day... cant remember though but I do remember that they did not have a car at all. His name on TS was recorded Danny and then bababooey bababooey.... He would tell me stuff that was going on at work and then tell me about the customers as they came and went. He worked there for a LONG time... I think it may have been something like 10 years... maybe not quite that long but I was really surprised at how long he was there.
The thing I am most sad about
Danny and I had kind of a falling out near the time when I stopped calling Talk Salad. I think it was somewhere around the beginning of 1992 or so. I was honestly a little jealous of his girlfriend ... I would have never wanted them to break up and Danny was such a stand-up guy that he would have never cheated on her in a million years (I wouldnt either... just saying) but that was the reason on my part that I would sometimes make comments. Totally 100% my fault,, and if he ever even thought about it or me again I hope he forgave me. He always, always defended her. I'm trying to remember the other stuff that he was into. I mentioned that he liked Howard Stern... I think he was a rock music fan? I'm not sure at all on that one. Howard was still on KLSX in southern California at that time, if I remember right. (I just looked it up... Howards show was syndicated in 1991 and he was on KLSX 97.1 at the time.) I'll type more as I remember.
More about Danny from Talk Salad in Los Angeles CA
I remember that he would always tell me that even though he was younger he felt like he was an older protective brother to me, which I always thought was really sweet. He would defend me sometimes on the boards. People were there for a variety of reasons... some were there to hook up and others were there to chat and make friends. I was very bad at making new friends, but I was grateful for those (like Danny and others) that befriended me.
