When I was a child in the 1970s, I helped my dad bail hay during the summers. I used to always have a small transistor radio with me.
I would stop for a break at midday and park the tractor under a tree in a shaded area. I would have lunch and listen to Paul Harvey. His voice always takes me back to those bright summer days spent with my parents, brother, grandparents, aunts, and uncles, all of whom were together and in good spirits. I genuinely long for those times.
Up to 24 million people heard Paul Harvey’s voice every week between 1952 and 2008. His program, “Paul Harvey News,” was carried by 400 American Forces Network stations, 1,200 radio stations, and 300 newspapers. He is most likely best known to many for his well-known radio program, “The Rest of the Story.”
In Paul Harvey, America found a jewel. Audiences of all ages were drawn to his tales and observations, but they were also captivated by the comforting tone of his well-known voice. It has the ability to briefly take listeners to a new place, alter their viewpoint, and perhaps even cause them to think differently.
If you listen carefully, this guy has a lot to teach you about life. I genuinely long for those times. were moments when we would ponder and think hard about who we were. I sometimes wonder how much time we actually spend doing it these days.
Paul Harvey wrote an article a long time before he became well-known on television, and he made a few changes to it over time. Regardless of your interpretation, this article is comprehensible and somewhat controversial. It can be read literally or as a symbol.
You may hear Paul Harvey reading the 1996 edition of that essay in this audio clip. It is amazing to see how accurate some of his “predictions” ended up becoming.
