Chicago radio will never recover from Wally Philips retirement. WGN is the difinitive Chicago radio station. I miss Orion Samuelson and the farm market report.

Ask a restaurant owner or car wash operator or a farmer or meat packing plant how many people are lined up to fill their openings. Farmers need a large number of workers for a couple weeks and then they are unemployed. How many teenagers do you know that will work 12-15 hours per day bent over in fields picking vegetables? Each town needs hundreds of workers. Crops are ready to be picked in waves across the US. Migrants start here in the Rio Grande Valley in winter and follow the crops to Canada and back. Their labor allows cheap produce on our shelves. A guest worker program allows these people to come here and fill these jobs and have a small amount of protection from freedy owners and others who will exploit them.

Environmentaly I have a problem with both parties. With the Republicans we'll have far fewer lands to use, but we can use them. With the Dems we'll have more lands, but there will be restrictions on how they can be used.

I'm starting to get really concerned that we are going to go into this season without a chance. A big step back from last season. I expected the players that left but really expected one or two medium to big FA to be signed by now.

Bryan Adams is my all time leader in songs that I have to turn off as fast as possible, and it's never fast enough. I've never bought one of his albums, I assume he has some other cuts, not played to death?

My favorite Dahl bit occured at 9:55 one day as they were getting ready to close the show. Garry started immitating Steve, talking about the wife, the traffic, etc. It was so funny, Steve started hyperventilating. I was working retail and I had to delay opening the store for a few minutes because A. We had to switch to a station the company advertised on (snore) B. All the employees were laughing so hard we couldn't work.

I share the actual CD that was purchased and supports the artist and distributors. I have to agree with the eye on this one

First Manuel now PA Can it get any better?

I remember listening to 1960/70s WCFL and WLS. Yes, they were awesome. I think the first station I listened to on FM was WMET, then WLUP. I had an Insane Coho Lips Membership card, still have WLUP Rocls album and Pet Fishsticks. I wore out at least two Loop black t-shirts. The Dahl, Brandmeier, Mathews era was hilarious. I can still here Gary saying Hi*bachi King Biscuit Flower Hour I'm forgetting the guy that had the syndicated parody show on late at night on Sundays.

Why isn't this in SL&P so I can pin it to the top and leave there as an example to all. Beastley, I didn't know you were Korean.

A friend of mine (female, 23) is going to be sad tomorrow. The love of (the last 6 months) of her life is accepting a one year trip compliments of the US Marines in Iraq and is leaving today. I am trying to think of a small gift to brighten her tomorrow. Nothing overly expensive or personal.

The question should be "How much better will soxtalk be without PA for a week?" I told you this state ain't big enough for the both of us

No, it's not the all time best. The late 1970s WLUP was. Wide variety? So if a station played Opera to Speed Metal they would be great? BTW, in an interesting bit of trivia, sometime around 1990 one of the rock stations started a slogan "Largest Music Library of any Chicago Station" or something like that. They were sued by WGN and won. Turns out WGN has/had a huge library. The station had to change it's slogan to "Largest On Air Library"

If the rig you buy doesn't have them, you can order them and hand 'em yourself Available here

If it's a small load, I'll do it by hand, if you know what I mean

Cool. The Astros are my favorite NL team.

They must list any ballpark that a team played a "home game" at.

These are always difficult to judge. But crimes are prosecuted all the time with no impartial witnesses. Judges and juries have to judge who is more believable.
