He's an awesome dude in real life! But like you, I didn't like the choices he made (or I was told his decisions from about 99-01). How can you possibly be an Active Rock station, and still play Matchbox 20 and the Goo Goo Dolls, with Metallica and Korn in-between, and still have Howard Stern in the morning?
Again, I've met him, he's really awesome and I hope he's okay. But that era turned off a lot of listeners!
