Born in Chicago, we moved to the God-forsaken hinterlands of Michigan's Upper Peninula when I was 12. Thankfully, when the sun went down, I could tune in to WLS and hear that life as I had known it still went on. Thanks to John (the boy in the box who is I) for being such an inspiration, and to Dan for posting the interview. Oh, to have been a fly on THAT wall. Great advice from the man who saved my life.

Most radio stations aren't run by broadcasters anymore. They're owned and operated by corporate 'yes men'. How can anyone who loves radio have anything significant in common with people such as these?

I still have a animal Stories LP. That commitment that you are talking about is long gone by newer talent. I once heard Carlton Fisk say how the players used to sit around after the game and talk about the game, but that doesn't any more. As you know it was a great place to grow up.

They were heroes to me! I especially enjoyed the part about being willing to do anything! I remember painting the studio, emptying garbage cans, doing overnight shifts then coming back 3 or 4 hours later to do a saturday mid-day shift. There was no job too small. I wanted to live at the station. I just don't see that level of commitment from the newer talent anymore I grew up on guys like Landecker and Brandmeier. They were heroes to me!
