Rick Musselman

Ruell was a shark to the Talent, but a blessing to the suits. As a member of both worlds, I was not a fan, but respected him. He knew what he was doing, he knew how to get to the bottom line, unfortunately he was also part of the industry that focused on sales rather than creative. Not his fault. Rick was a good family guy. While I can't sing Hosannas to his name, what I can say, is that Rick was HONEST to a fault, no BS. And that in itself made him genuine in an industry riddled with phonies! He was also extremely talented about the nuts and bolts end of a radio station. He was definitely an asset to the incestuous circle of radio in the Valley! Although we did not see eye to eye, and perhaps were even opposition across the line of talent vs. bottom line, I actually always had a warm spot in my heart for him, when we could go out at a remote and break bread together. We shared quite a few adult beverages over the years, and an equal amount of insults. And my thoughts are for his family.Bottom line, Ruell was a good dude! he fought for what he believed in! And in an industry where most suits are just total dick heads, Rick understood, but he would slit your throat in a second, but have the decency to tell you why ...
