5.0 out of 5 stars Great Chicago Disc Jockey Tells Insiders View, June 23, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Superjock: The loud, frantic, nonstop world of a rock radio DJ (Hardcover)

Twenty years before Howard Stern's movie,
there was Larry Lujack, "Superjock" on
Chicago's WCFL-AM and WLS-AM during the
Second City's radio wars. Lujack tells of
his married life and radio family in true
details, beginning with KFXM-AM in San
Bernardino to his place in Chicago Radio
History.

5.0 out of 5 stars How it REALLY was on the radio in th '70s., March 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Superjock: The loud, frantic, nonstop world of a rock radio DJ (Hardcover)

Very simply, there would be no Don Imus, Howard Stern or Tom Leykis had Lujack not proved first that crabbiness could win on the radio. Ruling the airwaves in Seattle when Imus was still a railroad worker, Lujack was belicose, sarcastic and witty between Beatles and Motown records. No library should be without it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Primer for Personality Radio, January 2, 1999

This review is from: Superjock: The loud, frantic, nonstop world of a rock radio DJ (Hardcover)

What did Larry scream into Paul Revere & The Raiders' dressing room? And WHY? Did he really share a billboard with a huge advertisement for Cruex? And not complain?

Larry Lujack describes the tornado that REAL control rooms are with real solid state equipment - no RCS or Scott Systems in 1970 - and cussing engineers, annoying salespeople and breaking equipment! He had cart machines and maybe an ITC r2r - and plenty of cigs. He brings the 70s radio world alive: what radio station people are like - what it was like to party with the pop stars and to nail down an intro while lighting another cigarette and taking another request from one or two of scores on hold as ter lights flash during the last ten seconds of his commercials -- he delivers insight into why radio management will never change - and why radio is such a scintillating, infuriating and beloved calling. Retired and playing golf in Arizona now, he ruled Chicago for years and this book is a MUST for any radio afficionado's collection.
