BRW: Cosmic Muffin's final days

[raccoonradio]

Boston Radio Watch reports that Darrell Martinie, WBCN's famed Cosmic Muffin, is gravely ill. They link to Charles Laquidara's blog, and fans of the astrologer (who also worked for some other stations) are invited to say goodbye. Remember, it's a wise person who rules the stars.
It's a fool who's ruled by them.

Lois Love (former wife of WODS' Tom Kennedy) managed Cosmic Muffin when she was married to Noel Love and they had "Love Affair Management" (Jon Butcher Axis, Cosmic Muffin, Digney Fignus).

Lois told me that Mr. Martini generated a lot of money with his newsletter back in the day.

Truly a unique character in the Boston constellation. We send good thoughts to the Cosmic Muffin.

Details on the memorial/funeral service (Sat. in Saugus) and an obituary. I've been to that funeral home before;
a wake for a co-worker's father a couple years ago.

His light went out much too early.
