This sucks so much. He came back, and I really thought he was gonna make it.

My guess is the Chemo wasnt working or cancer had spread and he knew it was just a matter of time. So he figured might as well make the most of what he had left.

Wouldn't surprise me. I had a front-row seat to finding out that the chemo had stopped working. His voice did sound weaker the last few weeks that he was back.

Nice, they're playing "All for the Love of Rock and Roll." That was always going to be his last song, he said.

Genuinely liked because he was an authentic, and genuine guy.

That's the only thing that makes sense. If that's not what happened, he or his doctors were way off on his long term prognosis.

Real shitty news. I thought he turned the corner.

Or sure about him but chemo can bring a whole world of shit upon you. Infections for example.

I remember him posting that a femur just went and broke on him for no reason mid-chemo. Apparently that's something that happens.

Paywall is back up, but they are offering 14 day free trial.

Bad news indeed about Lin.

Every once in awhile a broken clock is correct

Man this sucks, but you could hear it. Glad he went out doing what he loved.

The morning transition video came up on my FB feed - Bernstein seems genuinely crushed, he is in tears.

I knew Terry was close with him. Didn’t think Dan so much. Sad for him.

A big music fan who worked in radio and had a great radio voice.

One of the all-time best...RIP Lin.

Tremendous radio today...lots of great drops, he had a solid sense of humor...and the playlist is top-notch...just don't understand why they can't play this music every day...

regardless, it's solid and genuine


(Personal note, the fact that I spent all day yesterday at an Irish wake for my favorite uncle just saturates the whole damn vibe)

Listening to how good the station was today brought into relief how bad it's become otherwise. Outside of Flashback, they don't even let the jocks talk coming in and out of stop sets anymore. With Audacy's woes, you have to wonder how long it has even in its current enfeebled state.

They weren't able to get Norm Winer and Mary Dixon on. I wonder if there was still too much bad blood or if they just weren't up for it.
