With the passing of John Laws, I thought it worthwhile posting this to demonstrate what set him apart from all others.  When Rolf Harris hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons, John took the time to explain to this caller why Rolf Harris paintings weren't wanted.  Any other talkback show host would have dismissed the caller very quickly. Warning - it may be a little offensive to some ears.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
