Mancow is a scumbag. I remember Dahl telling a story that when he first sobered up Mancow called him saying he thought he might have a drug/alcohol problem. Dahl went and talked with him, and shared a lot of personal shit. Mancow used the information to go on the air to blast him and share what I expect was thought to be a private discussion.

I remember when Mancow supposedly sent out Turd to Dahl's house in Mancow Mobile One to search Dahl's garbage cans for "extra" cocaine that Dahl had thrown away. Apparently Dahl was listening and he came outside to confront Turd. Dahl was listening to Turd go through the garbage cans at "Steve Dahl's house", yet Dahl was standing on his own driveway and Turd was nowhere in sight. Theater of the Mind. The funniest part of the whole thing is the concept of "extra" cocaine.

I agree it was foolish of Dahl to trust him. In fact, it's something Dahl himself would've done himself in the late 70's. He used to be brutal on Wally Phillips. I don't think he could call Wally a coke head though.

"extra" cocaine.

Remember the commercial with Brandmeier punching a pig in a Hawaiian shirt and saying, "You too, fatboy."

JORR, I think you know everything. That is funny stuff.

I don't remember that. Was that when Dahl & Meier were at WLS and Brandmeier just got to WLUP?

Every straight middle class white boy around my age was a fan of Dahl. When I see or hear him now though, he just seems like a guy who has become everything he used to hate. I guess he has a hardcore base of fans who will pay for his podcasts to continue along with him on his "journey", but that isn't me. He just makes me feel old.

I'm not saying that he should be the same guy he was at 23. But when you stake out certain ground you've set your path. Pete Townshend looks ridiculous playing "My Generation" at age 70. There's nothing graceful about it. "Hope I die before I get old"? Why the fuck didn't you? Compare that to a teenage Paul Westerberg: "I hate music. Sometimes I don't. I hate music. It's got too many notes. I hate my father. One day I won't. I hate my father. Just get off my back." There's a real self-awareness there that guys like Dahl and Townshend apparently lacked.

This did make me laugh.

I catch North on fox radio and he is actually one of their better hosts..their lineup is brutal..he still says some ridiculous statements like 3 days ago "Junior Seau would have sat on the bench if he was on the 85 Bears, he was not as good as Singletary,Marshall or Wilson


Never thought Mancow or Dahl were aything more than awful.

Like many I was a religious listener to him until the score started actually. I imagine he sobered up and matured as has his main audience in similar ways. I like many would probably be criticizing the hell out of him now if he was a 55 year old trying to be cool/hip with the younger crowd?

Is Dahl a rich guy? never went national as far as I know..how much did wckg pay back in the day? or A.M. radio in the 80'-90's.

Mancow does some sort of "show" from the first floor of a building over by my gig. I can honestly say I haven't listened to one minute of anything he has ever done...

I saw him a couple of times on Chicago Tonight on channel 11. Not too bad.
