Can I kick it?

[Listener David]

Perhaps Hova, Belinda, and DJ Wawa can be cajoled into doing a Greasy Kid Stuff show?! (o: PLeeeeeezzzze!

Wow. A walk down... Great memories with so many of these DJs. I'll try to listen as much as I can. Am especially curious what Neal Adams thinks of the How To Be An FMU DJ bit that I caught of him back in '85. (see http://briefcase.yahoo.com/lipwak in the FMU files folder for a RealAudio clip of it.)

Happy Birthday FMU...

Cheers,

Lipwak

I am excited and would be moreso if there were more alum from the end 60s-early 70s--my years on WFMU. I can remember many joys during my broadcast years and listeners including Artie Scotchhead and The Enema Lady.

I am glad to see Meredith Ochs--my show was "Changes" and I was a Phil Ochs groupie. Vin and Glen Jones are going to be great!!

Onward!

Is Meredith related to Phil too? I know ex-FMU DJ Sonny Ochs is his sister and she had a great show back in the 80s(?).
