My Take
Michael Savage is one of the more genuinely paradoxical figures I've come across. A Bronx kid born Michael Weiner, Berkeley-educated, with a past as a social worker and teacher, he became one of the most combative voices in American talk radio. The Savage Nation ranked second nationally by 2009, which, whatever you make of his politics, proves a rare gift for moving an audience with words alone. I suspect that earlier curiosity about people fuels the performer. He's deeply divisive, and I won't pretend otherwise, but the sheer conviction to carry a show entirely on his own voice is hard to ignore.
