I purchased this along with Something in the Air for my husband for Christmas, since he is nuts about oldies radio and oldies music. He is especially crazy for the old Chicago stations from the 60's and 70's, since this is what we grew up with. The only drawback is, it is too short. He was through it by the end of Christmas day.

I looked forward to reading this book after listening to "85 Years of WLS" on Memorial Day weekend. I grew up in the '60's and '70's and listened to the great WLS. The air personalities always seemed so real. Superjock Larry Lujack's animal stories were always funny. Reading this book was just like stepping back in time, bringing back fond memories of listening to the Big 89. This book really captured the essense of what WLS Radio has been about and how it has always had a large audience appeal.

Fantastic look back in word and pictures. I wish more of them were in color. I e-mailed Scott years ago and he is truly the biggest fan of WLS. If anything, this book illustrates WLS' commitment to serving the community and entertaining over the decades. When does the audio version come out? Just kidding.

Great memories from a guy who produced and voice spots on this 50,000 watt blow-torch for mid-America!
