This morning on the MAX train to work I met a man with his own page on Wikipedia, former coworker Clyde Lewis. Talking with him was an interesting experience, reminding me greatly of hallway conversations at my previous place of employment. It’s rather surreal to think now about the life I was forced to leave behind early last year. My life is dramatically different now but I maintain a strong emotional connection with “the biz.” (I still grouse at the radio if it happens to be on in the car and someone botches a break or makes an ass of themselves, for instance. I also never fail to look for the Stonehenge tower south of the downtown Portland skyline.)
Clyde’s not on the air right now, but he’s working on remedying that situation. I wish him all the best in that endeavour.

“I still grouse at the radio if it happens to be on in the car and someone botches a break…”
I was in the radio biz for about 10 years! It’s been maybe five since I last touched a board, but I act the same as you; I know it’s hard to start one spot immediately after the first ends, but c’mon…
