Back then it seemed all the popular kids in school listened to Q107. A Q107 bumper sticker on your car was kind of a symbol of coolness. If I remember I think Q107 ran a campaign in ‘80 or ‘81 where they would randomly stop a car with a Q107 bumber sticker and give them $107.00 cash. I remember a lot of Q107 stickers all over the place.

It had to have been BETTER THAN than Jack Diamond. Jack’s chosen format of laugh-at-every-word the host says, kiss every b-list interviewee’s rear-end, and feature as many bobbleheaded sidekicks to agree agree agree. “You’re right, hahaha” “WOW, Jack!” “Oh yes, absolutely! You are soooo right.”

If Erika didn’t laugh at EVERY joke or agree with EVERY word Jack uttered the show would be less predictable, but not by much.

The result is a morning show that’s the cotton candy of radio, only less filling. …If that’s what you’re into.

You did good Uncle Johnny, thanks for “providing the entertainment”.

Incidentally, the Billy Joel and Shannon “stiffs” were big hits at the time, going to #3 and #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart respectfully.

Speaking of music, it was also great hearing the original intro to Naked Eyes’ hit “Always Something There To Remind Me” (the one with the cathedral bells, minus the drum machine).

So, it’s a quiet Wednesday afternoon. The wife is at work so I start surfing. I need to hear some airchecks. Jeezawee! My past is smacking me in the face! I’m glad the statute of limitations is up.

Peace,
