I left in December of 2002.
Dahl! I wish I still had the recording I made of "Matza Man". "I'm the kosher disco-king and can eat more chicken liver than any man alive". That was a take off on Macho Man. Brutally funny.
Disco Demolition Night at Comiskey...
As for my post, I was just thinking of the very good old days and not more recent times with Wally, Steve, Roe and Gary, and, of course, the late Bob Collins. Was not intending to slight anyone -- least of all the "Tooth Fairy".
There were many other good ones and Chicago radio is still at the top of my list. Brilliant communicators and very funny.
Steve and Garry had Flo and Eddie as guests on a show in the early eighties, and I was laughing so hard that I actually had to pull my car over on the Kennedy to avoid an accident. "Matza Man" was great, as was "Ayatollah". Scumbag worm meat idiots, indeed!
For me, Chicago radio began to go downhill when Brandmeir and Matthews started up with the lowbrow schtick. Even so, between classic sportscasters like Harry, Brickhouse, and Piersall, and all the talkers, Chicago radio was absolutely brilliant.
