R.I.P. Tom Magliozzi

One Half of the Jovial Brothers on ‘Car Talk’ Dies at 77: ‘Tom Magliozzi, who with his younger brother, Ray, hosted “Car Talk,” for years the most popular entertainment show on NPR, died on Monday at his home outside Boston. He was 77.The cause was complications of Alzheimer’s disease, NPR said.The weekly hourlong “Car Talk,” which was broadcast for more than 30 years, was ostensibly about mechanical problems with cars, but the format was mainly an excuse for the brothers, known as Click and Clack, to banter with callers about the mysteries of life, as viewed through an automotive prism: Why does a car suddenly stop working? Should I give this clunker one more chance? Why won’t my husband pay for a mechanic to fix our car? (via NYTimes.com).
