It was a morning in 1986 when I was working at 99-Q Radio with Dennis Oliver. He was just finishing up his morning show and I was beginning my mid-day stint (after working the morning show on WTAD earlier that morning). It was about a week before St. Patrick’s Day and I went up to D.O. and said we need to have a St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Quincy.

This Friday is going to be a very difficult day for all of us at Townsquare Media, especially me, as one of the nicest guys around will get your day going for the very last time. Dennis Oliver, who announced his retirement, has been waking people up for some 40 years in West Central Illinois and Northeast Missouri and he will finally get to sleep in.

If you are a regular listener to Y101 you already know we play and sing-a-long to the Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road song by Loudon Wainwright the Third every Friday morning around 9 a.m. Well, thanks to that song Dennis Oliver and I have made it big time.

I was watching NBC's "The Voice" the other night and got to thinking about the judges that have been on the show.  They seem to change out people who judge every year. Now it got me to thinking of some local people who should get a shot at being a replacement judge. Here are some of them.

I was reading a Time Magazine when I came across in bold print the following....$81.29. It caught my eye and I read on to find out that for $81.29 one can buy a 200 rocket fireworks package that will explode and form the shape of the buyers face. It would also be visible from up to 20 miles.
