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

The Drive Salutes the Loop On Its Last Day: "Spirit of Radio"


Surprisingly, Chicago's WDRV, 97.1 FM, the Drive, gave a last salute to its competition WLUP, 97.9 FM, the Loop, on March 9, 2018.  Both stations played classic rock, although the Loop's music was considerably harder in some songs (which was why I stopped listening to them).

Bob Stroud, in his Ten at Ten, played songs he associated with the Loop.  He worked at that station for a long time as well.

LIGHTS OUT (Live)--  UFO
FEELS LIKE THE FIRST TIME--  Foreigner
MISS YOU--  Rolling Stones

FULL MOON TURN MY HEAD AROUND--  Off Broadway
HEY HEY MY MY (INTO THE BLACK)--  Neil Young
ROCK 'N ROLL FANTASY--  Bad Company
SGT. PEPPER' S / A DAY IN THE LIFE--  Beatles

SPIRIT OF RADIO--  Rush
SOMEWHERE IN AMERICA--  Survivor
HIGHWAY TO HELL--  AC/DC     Which turned out to be the last song played on the Loop.

Name That Tune (from the above songs):  "Season Ticket On a One Way Ride."  --Answer Below.  --RoadDog

OLD IS WHEN:  "Gettin' a little action' means you don't need to take a laxative today.



"Highway to Hell"
