Holy smokes, man! When did you leave Chicago? 1970? ;-)
You might want to include Steve Dahl in the Chicago Radio Pantheon, not to mention Wally Phillips. Of course, all of those guys have given way to the Mancows of the world. Sad indeed.
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.
Landecker, Biondi, LYLE DEAN with the news...
great listening, great times.
