I grew up with WMMS and was particularly fond of Len Boom-Boom’s Saturday morning show (we listended to it at work). But nothing can ever take the place of Jeff & Flash. I stuck to the “Zoo” for years as a faithful listener. Their timing during the broadcast was so precision, it makes all other shows look like high school projects. Everything that has been captured here and in Gorman’s book brings back many memories, but little has been said about when Flash closed his newscast with a story and there would be a song played right afterward that had something to do with the news story. Either the title, lyrics… something in the song connected back to the story. Little thngs like that made the show what it was. I called in to the station many times and Jeff put me on the air to share a story, a joke, a request. Felt like family… and I miss them. Still today, nothing comes close to the Buzzard Morning Zoo.

Now that’s what morning radio is suppose to be! They sure don’t make ‘em like that anymore. I blame stuck up feminists, and busy body activists for ruining morning radio! With the exception of ‘Bob & Tom’, and ‘John Boy & Billy’, morning radio has been neutered into nothing more than lame, bland, wussified pap where you either have a celebrity obsessed guy, and girl clucking about how irresistible Brad Pitt is, or two idiots who think they’re the next Howard Stern. Where’s the fun, and zany antics of morning radio? LONG LIVE THE MORNING ZOO!
