When he was here, he loved this town. Any show that was playing at the Wolf, HOB or really anywhere that fit his tastes in music, he was there having fun. I had similar tastes in music as he did back in those days and I did run into him quite a few times. He was, and I imagine still is, a good guy.
Now, when he left he took some shots at the organization. The Saints fan in me didn't particularly like that but I could see the man's grievance with the organization. There was, though never any doubt in my mind he loved the city and the fans. I even remember the quotes he said when he left. Turley specifically stated that he loved and was gonna miss New Orleans and the fans.
/this makes me miss listening to Rod Ryan in the morning. Especially when Turley called in.
