3:45pm John from Florham Park:

Boston used to have some good music stations like WBCN

3:48pm John from Florham Park:

4:03pm John from Florham Park:

4:06pm Sid:

It would be Praise 91-1. At least they got PLJ instead.

4:10pm P-90:

That organ is SO good

4:11pm John from Florham Park:

@sid when WPLJ went to 40 just after I moved to Florida I was shocked

4:12pm John from Florham Park:

I meat top 40

4:13pm John from Florham Park:

Damn having trouble spelling today

4:13pm wicked sweet:

yeah a state monopoly on liquor turns out to be a good thing... sorta

4:14pm Carmichael:

Heya Bill and Kevin.

4:14pm wicked sweet:

oh yeah if you're on I-95 you can drive from mass to maine in under 20 minutes defitinely

4:19pm John from Florham Park:

@wicked sweet a few years ago I was in Boston visiting the city and going to watch the red Sox play and went up to Maine and stopped at walkers point and tried to get in closer to take a pic but a secret service agent told me to get the hell out of there

4:19pm Sid:

John, yeah PLJ thought rock was splintering too much in '83. Rock was the last time I listened to that station. The last 36 years of 95.5 were pretty much a loss as far as I'm concerned.

4:23pm Motobro:

You’d better not mention the BR sox on here least King Kelly will stomp you like a cockroach

4:25pm wicked sweet:

BCN was definitely cool for a time in the '80s

4:25pm John from Florham Park:

@sud I admit in high school I listen to WNEWFM because of better DJs and better music, did not even know about this fine station then

4:25pm John from Florham Park:

I meant Sid

4:27pm John from Florham Park:

@WS I was in Boston in 1992 and I lived listening to Charles laqadara in the morning

4:30pm Sid:

John, for me, FMU supplemented NEW, LIR and DHA back in the early 80s. As commercial music went downhill, FMU became more prominent in the mix.

4:30pm wicked sweet:

@john that's my time frame as well. oh yeah and Laquidaria was on ZLX too which also had its moments. the ident sound for ZLX was from some Atari 2600 game

4:32pm John from Florham Park:

@sid the only tine I really listen to WDHA anymore is Sunday mornings for Jim Monaghan all mixed up other then that I have this station on

4:34pm John from Florham Park:

@WS I folllow Charles on Facebook and I have him as a favorite on radionomy which he does from Hawaii

4:35pm Sid:

Haven't heard DHA in years. Glad they're still around though. Like WFMU, they've outlived almost all the other NYC rock stations.

4:36pm John from Florham Park:

@WDHA keeps chugging along

4:38pm John from Florham Park:

@sid there is a very good station from the jersey shore area called WRAT which is a pretty good station

4:39pm Sid:

Cash Flow: BK drawing on his business ownership savvy!

4:43pm Anon.:

The Woggles: Based "mostly in Athens, Ga., but starring Alabama boy Dan “Danelectro” Hall on the drums", according to a 2002 Tuscaloosa News item.

4:44pm Sid:

John, yeah, RAT's been around for over 20 years now. Good to hear they're still a going concern.

4:52pm John from Florham Park:

&sid 23 years for the rat

4:54pm P-90:

Lawyer Ty Cobb is always nebulously described as “a purported distant relative of the baseball player of the same name.”

4:55pm ty cobb:

The stories about Ty Cobb are total lies. They were perpetrated by a hack sports writer and in true form rumors carry more weight than facts. His family were strict abolitionists and Ty Cobb stood up for the black players on his team.

9:54am bk:

Napoleon Lajoie was the biggest star of his day and the player most responsible for having blacks shunned for decades in MLB. He refused to play with them. Despite having been responsible for watering down the talent pool all of those years, he's in the HOF. Alleged WS fixer, the nearly illiterate Shoeless Joe, must be turning over in his grave. BTW...Jackson did, apparently, participate in the fix with poor base running and defensive mistakes.
