Not a bad watch. Saw this last night on WTTW...

Anybody familiar? JORR, have any stories?

On again early Monday morning at 3:55 am.

I assumed this thread was actually about JORR.

I doubt JORR ever had that kind of rhythm, even for the burbs.

I'm pretty sure I sold speakers to that guy. I think he did a lot of Bar Mitzvahs. I think he's the ENERGY! guy but I may be confusing him with another local DJ I sold to.

Anybody here seen my old friend Bobby?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
I thought I saw him walkin' up to The Hill
With Elon, Tulsi, and Don

He did say he started out doing Bar Mitzvahs on the North Shore.

Didn't Mac once mistakenly say Les was from the rough streets of Skokie?

You mean it's not Jessie Jackson?

I think the Grobber actually hails from the Peterson Park Neighborhood.

I hoped it was about the Kap man.

Isn't he still #1 in morning drive--with able assistance from Brian Paruch?!

I was also interested in the following tidbit from Feder's column:

Amanda Kaschube, who’s held a variety of roles in the sports department at the Chicago Tribune since 2002, has been named director of content/sports. As the Tribune’s top sports editor, she succeeds Joe Knowles, who took a buyout after 42 years at the paper. A south suburban Flossmoor native and University of Kansas graduate, Kaschube most recently was senior content editor. She also served as senior digital news editor. “Amanda has a mastery of Chicago sports,” managing editor Peter Kendall told staffers. “She has demonstrated a keen awareness of where the audience interest is right now and where it is headed.”

Has the Tribune's sports section ever been more irrelevant than it is right now? I guess an internal promotion is cheaper than an external hire. But the Tribune might want to look into completely reimagining its sports section--or at least hiring reporters capable of breaking stories.

THAT'S RIGHT, TALL MIDGET!


As I remember it, she went on vacation for a week and never came back. TMX let her contract run out and they went on without missing a beat. I know the rumor was that they were not the best of friends off-mic, but going AWOL like she did is not a sign of sound thinking.

My prediction was always that she would turn up in morning drive on one of the rimshots (WXLC, Star 105) but even that didn't happen. I don't know what's better between "mornings in the suburbs" and "Wednesday evenings on WGN if the Hawks don't play."
