When I was little, my dad used to say "jumping Jesus on a pogo stick" when he was frustrated with me. Years later, we would listen to his old Loop airchecks in the car and I realized he stole that line from the Dead Milkmen. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE QUEERS ARE DOING TO THE SOIL?!?

Eddie Murphy's "Boogie In Your Butt" was also on one of those. That was a favorite as a 13-year-old.

What time?

I tuned in around 5 and I guess he had been on for a few hours at that point. I heard Patty Haze and Dahl's wife, Janet, who sounds crazy.

I guess he also had on a lot of other people who had worked at the station over the years, but Garry Meier declined to appear.

I heard a few bits. Wasn’t bad.

Meier looks like he'll carry that grudge to his grave.

There was that one day in 2006 when Dahl ran into Meier when broadcasting live, invited him to join on air, and they got on well enough that people were speculating about a permanent reunion for about a year after that. What the hell happened since then?

Dahl is old. Meier much older than him. Probably done and not much else to do

When I am stuck and need to figure something out I always remember the Immortal words of Socrates when he said:"I just drank what?"

I caught a few hours of it. Some of it was bad. Some of it was kind of funny, and some of it was sad just thinking of what The Loop once was. I heard when he had Mitch Michaels on and then later Johnny B, Buzz Kilman and Bruce Wolf. Bruce talked about how Johnny B got him fired, and then Bruce did some long bad monologue as Chet and Johnny B hung up in the middle of it. Buzz said he was hoping it was Chet Coppock that called in. That was pretty funny.

Last song I heard on the air around 10 pm was Money by Pink Floyd

101.1 HD2 appears to have replaced their jazz format with something they're calling "WLUP." I heard Crazy Train three times on my drive in so it must be legit.

Cumulus finally agreed to buy WKQX and the Loop IP from Randy Michaels. There's some light speculation that it's moving to 94.7 and putting WLS-FM out of business. Not sure how I feel about that.

94.7 is dogshit. It should be put down because ME-TV radio (or whatever it's called) is running the same format and doing it significantally better at almost zero cost. Obviously the format the loop had at the end was also stale, so hopefully this would allow them to re-work it and re-launch a new loop, but I won't hold my breath on that.

Well, classic rock and classic hits are equally dead formats. Consultants killed them. It's just a matter of which demise upsets you more.

The only things LS-FM has going for it are the old jingle package and the name recognition of a few jocks who, because of consultants, aren't allowed to speak anyway. They're too cowardly to play much of anything that isn't by white males of the '70s and '80s because someone somewhere is 5% more likely to change the station if the song is too old, too female, or too black, again, because of consultants. An oldies format done right has a higher ceiling than classic rock, but how likely is that when they can't even call it oldies?

But now that K-Hits is dead, you could argue that it's smart to hang on to the format. I might even suggest that they're better off killing KQX.

I watched a documentary on WLIR the other day. I wonder when a documentary on the Loop will get done. If they can make new wave interesting the Loop would be a riot.

In case you were wondering, the Drive has indeed inherited Twofer Tuesday. In a surprising turn of events, the promotions chick with the big cans was claimed by WBEZ.

These EMF guys are relentless. Last month, they bought three stations from a HBCU in Raleigh and flipped them to K-Love:

EMF is now getting its dirty Christian hands on 103.9 The Fox up in Crystal Lake, which had kind of been a Loop-in-exile. They even have to buy up the suburban classic rock stations, huh.
