Dave Kane, born , is an American radio talk show host, comedian, performance artist, and author. Kane was born in Pawtucket, Rhode Island and currently still makes his home in the Ocean State. Nicknamed "The Pitbull of comedy" in the 1980s during his time as a stand-up comedian, Kane is known for his passionate, sometimes confrontational style of talk radio, urging people to stand up for what they believe in and to take action in the face of injustice. One of Kane's oft-spoken phrases is the well known quote, often attributed to Irish philosopher Edmund Burke, "All that is necessary for evil to exist is for good people to do nothing." In addition to his strong viewpoints about current local and national issues, his radio show, dubbed "Kane and Company", also features Kane's self-deprecating style of humor liberally peppered throughout. Conflict between Kane and his callers is commonplace, with some of the more vociferous people attaining the level of "Prisoner." This is a title Kane reserves for the most antagonistic callers who consistently claim to hate his show, but who feel compelled to keep listening and/or calling back to argue. == Radio career == Dave Kane has been involved in the field of radio for over 40 years, beginning in 1962, when he was 14 years old. His first radio-related job was at Pawtucket's WPAW where he acted as an intern for radio legend Chuck Stevens (an inductee into the Rhode Island Radio Hall of Fame). Kane's first paying radio job at the now defunct WKFD in North Kingstown lasted for just one day. His involvement in talk radio began in the early 1970s when he worked as a producer for WJAR radio and filled in for the other hosts. From that point forward, Kane has carved a successful niche in Rhode Island talk radio, spending time at various stations throughout the state, including WPRO and WHJJ, the two of largest and most powerful talk stations in the state. In 2005, Kane joined WNRI in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, becoming a weekday host in the 10am to 12pm time slot. Kane and WNRI parted ways in 2009. Dave Kane returned to the airwaves as a weekend host on WARA (formerly WRNP and WARL) in Attleboro, Massachusetts and currently occupies the 9am-12pm time slot on Saturdays.〔(Sun-Chronicle article "Back on the Airwaves in Attleboro."
