I have a question for those who live in Austin. This is in no way a political post, but I do have a question about Alex Jones. Hopefully it can be answered in a non political way.
What do the people of Austin think about Alex? Is he considered a nut case? People dont care much about him? They like having him there? Wish he was somewhere else?
Im just curious.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
Feel free to pm with a response if you wish.
I grew up in Austin.
I worked at Texas French Bread on South Lamar and Bluebonnet for a few years a LOOOONG time ago. Before that I worked at South Point Automotive on the same corner- I kind of migrated to TFB by accident when the garage closed down.
I would personally make Stevie Ray Vaughan's brother sandwiches every weekday by request (I always gave some extra meat and cheese) for over a year. Cool cat.
I've driven that guy's various crazy trucks and hot-rods and I feel privileged for the memories and the opportunity to meet a very cool guy.
Another psuedo-celeb that would come in quite often was Alex Jones.
His radio studio was just up the street from my work and he would come in for lunch or sometimes in the morning for a coffee and some pastries.
He was always a very nice guy and not stingy with the tips.
He was just kind of starting then and I never heard of him, but he had that gravelly voice that you knew was radio.
I also used to run into him every once in awhile at the local YMCA gym nearby.
He would hit the weights, heavy, low reps for just a minute or two and then leave.
Like a total of three, four minutes at the most in the gym and gone. I always thought that was funny.
Now- as far as the stuff he puts out and what he's trying to do?
The man is trying to make money like the rest of us. That's it and this is the way he's doing it.
Still- he was always a nice person to me. I guess that counts for something.
