[BC] What happened to fun radio?

[Steve Newman]

You were at the tail end Ron. Plus, as Carly Simon says, THESE are the good 
ole days. There are always good ole days for someone. Hey, I was doin' 
Top-40 at KFRC in 1980 and did the 10 minutes of radio silence for John 
Lennon. I still think the previous decades were more fun in many ways. 70's 
and 80's were in the OK range. :)
