The great news is that I just finally might have some morning radio available. The station I listen to most has FINALLY replaced this very lame syndicated thing with something else and I can't wait to give it a chance. Some time I should comment on the other shows but like my mother said..."If you can't say something nice about a morning show...."....You know the rest.

Probably the most frequent comment I get mailed to me refers to U100 and those "great" days. Great days? Well.......I know I had fun. I know it was exciting. I know we broke some new ground and made some big mistakes...but the one thing I know is that Dylan Thomas was right....you can't go home. Someone said to me they wanted to recreate U100 and that 'it would probably be a success still today'...Not!

What would be recreated? Are they remembering Jethro Tull or Olivia Newton John? Is it "...sitting on a park bench..." or "...please Mr please don't play B-17...."....? (Or whatever B it was....)

I hate Classic Rock stations. KQRS-FM in the Twin Cities isn't the KQ of old. It's just a glorified oldies station. The music they play is the music U100 played while they meandered and whispered their way thru 'underground' radio.

The only thing U100 has to offer to the current radio scene is the sense of excitement and innovation that so many radio stations lack. What has kept KQRS in the game all these years is their consistency, personalities, and the myriads of people remembering something that never was...

I apologize to my many West Coast readers who don't know what (who) the hell I am talking about. It is just some somewhere over the rainbow shit where birds flew...for a bit.
