Fred Imus

Fred Imus

Frederic Wayne Imus (born January 11, 1942 in Los Angeles, California) is an American radio talk show host and the younger brother of radio talk show host Don Imus. Currently he hosts "Trailer Park Bash", a weekly country music program launched on May 6, 2006, on Saturdays from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. ET on Sirius Satellite Radio. Imus broadcasts his show from his trailer in Tucson, Arizona. He frequently appears as a regular guest on "Imus in the Morning".

Career

Imus served in the US Army, restored cars, especially 1957 Chevys, and worked as a brakeman for the Southern Pacific Railroad. While with Southern Pacific, he met fellow brakeman Phil Sweet, and in 1976 the two wrote the No. 1 country hit for Jim Ed Brown and Helen Cornelius, “I Don’t Want to Have to Marry You,” which was also voted “Song of the Year” by Music City News in 1977. Imus has been an on-air host at country music stations in Cleveland, Ohio, Cheyenne, Wyoming and El Paso, Texas, among others.

Because of his love of classic cars, Fred opened his own auto body shop in El Paso, Texas and with the idea from his brother Don Imus, he also sold a few shirts and hats out of his body shop with a simple mention from Don on his radio show.Jim Reed (1999), Everything Imus: all you ever wanted to know about Don Imus, "Birch Lane Press", pp. 65-66, (ISBN 1-55972-504-4).] The store was called the Autobody Express, co-owned by Don and Fred. The Autobody Express was later moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico. Later on they had a store inside the Mohegan Sun Native American Casino in Uncasville, Connecticut. In 2003, the company failed and both stores closed.
