Steve & Garry – 11/6/80 – Show Close

I don't have to show you any stinking badges!!

I don't have to show you any stinking badges!!

This is a shorty. Just a quick 2:30 at the end of a show. This clip is Steve & Garry on WLUP-FM (The Loop) on November 6, 1980.

It starts with the “I don’t have to show you any stinking badges” clip. This clip is from the Bogart film The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. This was a mainstay in the Steve & Garry clip library.

Then,  the aircheck goes into the close of the show which I always loved.  Here is the close: “Have a nice day. You’re beautiful, don’t ever change, thank you for listening, and don’t forget to: PARTY! Hard. Like a banshee. Do bongs”

Save it, edit it and turn it into a ringtone.

Enjoy!!

July 1980 (Part 2)

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

Here is the rest of the show from July of 1980. It is Steve Dahl and Garry Meier from WLUP-FM (The Loop).

Highlights include: (9:54)

  • More Buzz baldness talk
  • News with Buzz:  Ron Regan, Mayor Byrne, city news, The Hostages (Day 297)

I think it’s cool to listen to the news from 30 years ago. It’s a good history lesson and we tend to forget the stories and the sentiment of the day. Plus, I always liked Steve’s perspective on the news.

  • Greg’s got a hickey.

(Show producer Greg Solk began his career as a high school intern for Steve at the Loop in the late ’70s)

  • Can’t get the show close right: “You’re beautiful, don’t ever change and don’t forget to PARTY! Hard.”

Enjoy!!

July 1980 (Part 1) – Acid Flashback

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

Today’s post comes from July of 1980. It is Steve Dahl and Garry Meier from WLUP-FM (The Loop).

It is one of my favorites because it includes an “Acid Flashback” with Tom Campbell who did the Undercurrents Waterbeds spots. The ad always started with Tom saying “Ooo, I get “it” every night on an Undercurrents Waterbed” (”it” referring to a good nights sleep). If you were listening to rock radio in the early 80’s you probably remember the waterbed spots. Do they still have those?

Highlights from today’s post are: (11:05)

  • Tom Campbell of Undercurrents Waterbeds does an acid flashback.
  • Buzz is losing his hair.
  • Garry is going to get his karmic payback.

The rest of this show aircheck will be posted shortly.

Enjoy!!
