I thought it stood for "We Love Superjock."

Lujack doesn't like being on TV. In fact he had refused all of Sirott's previous invitations. He only showed up that time to promote WRLL which was brand new at the time.

Many years ago, probably very early 1970's, I went to a personal appearance by Lujack at a shoe store in Merrillville, IN. The thing that struck me, was how shy he was in public. You could tell he didn't like doing the personal appearance stuff then.

Lujack has always hated appearing in public.

...in fact, he would always have the studio drapes drawn, blocking visitors' view, when he worked at WCFL. There was a classic 1974 Klunk Letter of the Day in which he rips into an "idiot kid" for whining about it; his final suggestion was that if she wanted to watch captive mammals, Brookfield Zoo was open 7 days a week...

He said in his book "Superjock" that he always draws the drapes.
 
Does this mean that I will no longer be able to order from my 1903 Sears, Roebuch & Company Catalog?
 
Oh dear, I misspelled Roebuck. Sorry.

Is it still a 45 second ride to the 103rd floor?
 
from Klunkletter:Also, as one who didn't support either major party this past election, I would comment that whenever the liberals are 'attacked' they are more prone to use the hate speech argument. I guess, I would have to question their definition of 'hate speech'.

It seems to me, it is an easy way to try and deflect attention from their policies, which are very hard to defend with a rational argument.



O-K, just because you disagree with a policy, that doesn't mean there's no rational argument for it. There are rational arguments for Liberal/Progressive policies just as there are rational arguments for Conservative policies. Three hosts who argue and defend Liberal/Progressive positions daily are :Thom Hartmann, Randi Rhodes and Stephanie Miller. And those three do offer sound, rational arguments for their Liberal/Progessive positions.

Well, I was reading with interest until the name Stephanie Miller popped up. 'Nuff said.
 
This stuff is VERY subjective. depending on the political persuasion of (ultimately) the advertisers and audience.

For example, Klunk, I despise Larry Lujack. You adore him. It's just personal taste. From a ptactical view, he does bring listeners and advertisiers, no dispute there, but to me, (even though he "puts it on") his as***** personality stinks.
 
No question Lujack was a legend. He's going to be on a service called Hit Parade Radio..but methinks if anyone is expecting him to do his 70s act there, they will be dissapointed.

How are we going to hear this Hit Parade radio? Will it be carried on a Chicago station? Will it be on the internet?

The same way we listen to anything worth listening to: Any way we can.

At least Lujack is funny and sarcastic; whereas, Miller is just mean spirited. Since both are on the far left politically (which is totally opposite of me), I guess Lujack wins since he can make me laugh.

The question is will they let Lujack be Lujack? It would be nice if Tommy Edwards is with him as they work very well together.
 
I don't think Lujack would do this gig if they put a lot of constraints on him. I think he'll look at the world thru those same sarcastic eyes he had at 'LS, 'CFL, and even WRLL.

Let's hope so and let's also hope that somebody in Chicago carries the show.
