The DJs taught me so so much about music; about love; about life. This book covers a lot of it so it was good to read it back a few years when I found a copy at the used bookstore. I now want to keep a copy to reread on my Kindle. We may be old now; or even dead some of us; but we lived through some outstanding times; had music that will never be outdone; allowed ourselves free thought; heart and soul.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great accounting of the Golden Age of Progressive free form radioBy KDRichard Neer has created a great accounting of the Golden Age of progressive free form radio. While this focuses a great deal on WNEW FM where Richard worked; it gives insight to the whole genre of radio as well as sister stations such as WMMR in Philadelphia ("the radio station") as well as similar stations in LA; Cleveland; etc. If you grew up during this period listening to progressive radio its a must read to get the inside scoop on your favorite DJs and how it all evolved and devolved. Scott Muni; Carol Miller; Allison Steele the Nightbird; Dennis Elsas; Pete Fornatale; and many others (some still on satellite radio and local radio; are discussed). Great insight into the radio and rock and roll industries as well as their effect on the culture and the cultures effect on them.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great Book!
