Is Willard still around town

S

SalBass

Where's Willard? I won my first album from him on WRAS in about 1973. It was Blue Oyster Cult. It's been about five years since I last heard his name?
 
Willard is a sales weasel at DAVE FM now.....has short hair, wears a tie, and knows/speaks weasel words.
Willard is one of the "good guys".....it's nice to see hime making some real bucks in this gawd forsaken business.
I hope someone will have the brains to put him back on the air somewhere - I always thought he was a great jock. He also is one of the best people person I have ever met....everyone gets special attention when they meet Willard.
 
I like vanilla....especially Breyers vanilla....creamy and tasty!
Willard did eves and middays.....the music was upfront and yer ol' bud Willard was there in the background, like an old friend, to pull yer face outa the john when you passed out. He was never supposed to be anything but vanilla!
Willard is the quintessential Rock & Roll jock.......I liked the 96 Rock sound back in the 70's and 80's. Too many jocks on today's radio stations are vacuous twilldidlers.
 
He may be a great guy, but he was about as vanilla as a jock could possibly be.

Two theories:

a) I think people forget that Atlanta was so "under-radioed" in the 80s that everything sounded unique then - and sounds vanilla today.
b) 96rock in the 80s along with 99x in the 90s are the only two Atlanta rock stations that ever sounded perfect 24/7. Great promotions, imaging and music make the jocks sound better too. How else can you explain why McCain, Mitchell, Kiely, Willard, Lorna Love, Barnes, Baron and all the others never had as successful a second act?

This just in from Fulton Superior Court, troone has just been sued by Stephen Duane Barnes for claiming he never had a "successful second act." To quote Mr. Barnes, "apparently Mr. Troone has never seen "No Witness."
