Goodbye

Back in the mid to late 80s, I would sit and listen to the radio for hours upon end. I was listening for certain songs that I had neither the money to buy the cassette of or any other way to obtain it. Yes kids, there was a time before "on demand" this and "instant" that. Somewhere in my parent's attic, you'll find mountains of audio cassette tapes of songs that were recorded off the radio with the DJ talking over the start of each song. As time went by, I began to become more fascinated with that voice than I did with whatever song he/she was introducing. "Who is that"? "I wonder what they look like?" "Sounds like they are having fun" and I ultimately came to the conclusion...

I want to do that.

The Retirement of Slick

August of 1996…a skinny, naive and long haired kid from two hours East walked into a somewhat ram shackled but charming house on the campus of the University of Southern Indiana. This was the home of the campus radio station, AM 820. “Hello…my name is Nick and I am enrolled in the Radio Practicum for the Fall semester”.

Peyton Manning Speaks About His Future and More

It's Super Bowl week and the running joke is that there will finally be a Manning playing at Lucas Oil this year. Of course, Peyton's brother Eli of the NFC Champion New York Giants would be that Manning. With his lingering health issues and the recent back and forth with Colts owner Jim Irsay, it looks like an acrimonious divorce is coming sooner than later. It especially helps that the Colts are in line to draft the best QB prospect, Andrew Luck, in this year's Draft. The best prospect since...Peyton Manning.
