Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Goodbye Chicago's Loop, 97.9 FM


I'm listening to the next-to-the-last day of Chicago's WLUP, 97.9 FM, better known as the Loop.  Chicago's Rock Station.

Come this Saturday night at midnight, the station drops the rock format and goes to Christian music.

I haven't listened to the Loop for many years, but back in the 1980s tuned in Jonathon Brandmeier in the morning.  He show was crazy with Buzz Killman, the Piranha Man and others.  Plus, he had a group called Johnny and the Leisure Suits with songs like "We're All Crazy in Chicago" and the "Moo Moo Song."  I did not listen to the other deejays.

It was the Loop which had the famous Disco demolition at Comiskey Park in 1979.

Well, Always Hate to Lose a Rock Station.  --RoadLoop
