Good Lord. What is he, 100?
I do remember Humble Harve’s high speed chase from cops way back when. I think it was HH.
Here in Pittsburgh my earliest memories of Rock-n-Roll radio are of the Groovie Q-vie, KQV. Where Rush Limbaugh once worked under the name Jeff Christie.
A competitor flipped formats to compete with them and billed themselves as “13Q”. They had this fiendishly successful promotion, “I Listen to the New Sound of 13Q!” They would randomly call people and if you answered your phone “I Listen to the New Sound of 13Q!” instead of hello you’d win fifty or a hundred bucks, which was still substantial money at the time.
It wasn’t long before nearly EVERYONE in Pittsburgh was answering their phone “I Listen to the New Sound of 13Q!”. Businesses, dentists offices, 911... I remember my dad, a stickler for telephone etiquette, gathering us all in the living room and reading us the riot act.
“If I EVER hear any of you kids answering MY telephone “I Listen to the New Sound of 13Q!”...
Years after the promotion had ended you’d still occasionally call someone in Pittsburgh and have them answer the phone “I Listen to the New Sound of 13Q!”
