Biff, looked at Citi today? I tried to but it was so small I couldn’t find it.
Now I know what the What feels like.
Eight dollars a day for lunch is $40 a week. At 50 weeks, that’s $2000. That is a lot of money, even today. Nothing “ghetto” about that.
Yeah What, WRVR, home of the Sunday Salsa show w Roger Dawson. Outta Riverside Church! Used to tune to it every Sunday.
Then one Sunday they pulled a palace coup, switched to C&W on the sly. A million New Yorkers shook their radios up and down to see what was wrong with them!
Frankie Crocker was my mother’s best friend’s son. I met him a couple of times, he didn’t look anything like what his voice sounded like, if you know what I mean. Is he still around on BLS?
“OK, Denton! Now you’re taking me back!! The “Chief Rocker” always signed off with the King Pleasure classic “Moody’s Mood for Love.””
I remember working on Wall Street, I would get home about 6:30 spark up a Dobbie and listen to Frankie Crocker to 8:00PM then go outside and spark some more ; ^ )…
The What
Someday this war is gonna end..
“The righteous listened to WWRL and Frankie Crocker, which was all Black and all JB all the time!’
How about Hank Span on WWRL!!! Ok Denton and yes everyone around the way listen to WABC! My Father has a big-ass Radio which lasted about 23 years. I listened to WRVR, WBLS and who can forget WKTU (The original one!) but I loved WABC and 99x.
I remembered when Frankie Crocker went to jail. When he got out I think he work out of LA before coming back to WBLS in 1981.
The What
Someday this war is gonna end..
I only have a short lunch break; prefer to go for a walk.
Trader joe’s has got some awesome frozen prepared meals, I just dumpy it in a bowl, scarf it down with some organic vegetabel juice, and keep rockin’.
Rob,
How much money do you think you spend on lunch each day, how about in one week, the year?
You call it ghetto others call it smart. How do you think some of us were able to save up for our down payments?
