Back when I was growing up, radio for me didn’t mean the acid-rock or the hard stuff like what you were getting from Foreigner, Foghat, Cheap Trick and Black Sabbath.&#160 Nor was it the sappy stuff that you were getting from the country stations, although I did, even then, have a thing for this one lady name of Parton… (“Duh, Spats!&#160 Really?!?!?“)

No, my radio was planted firmly on FM station 103.7, known around these parts as KVIL, and its morning legend, Ron Chapman.&#160 Beginning in 1969, Chapman was a mainstay at KVIL, bringing the morning on for millions of listeners for 30 years there, before moving over to his company’s oldies-format outlet, 98.7/KLUV. (We’ll ignore, for the moment, the fact that this merely represented a shift back to the stuff he played during his heyday on KVIL. (grin))

For 12 years during the late 70s/early 80s, Chapman had a sidekick on his morning show named Jody Dean.&#160 Many times, when Ron would go on one of his Johnny Carson-like sabbaticals, Dean would run the morning show solo, without missing a beat.&#160 In fact, if one wasn’t listening closely, one would’ve sworn that Chapman was there; they sound very&#160 much alike.&#160 Jody would later move to the local news/talk radio station here, then on to television for our CBS affilate (we’re trying not to hold that against him).

Anyway, a few weeks ago, Chapman officially announced his retirement from broadcasting.&#160 This week, he tapped Jody Dean to do what I imagine he’d figured he do at KVIL – replace Chapman at KLUV.

I see fit to blog on it today because Jody Dean’s a good conservative who’s been deserving for a long time now, not to mention being an all-around good egg.

Congratulations, Jody Dean.&#160 Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.

Mozilla Firefox doesn't do too badly, either; in fact, it's His Rudeness' browser of choice.
You can  use Nutscrape,  if you so desire - but why in blazes would you want to use a browser from a company that had to hide behind Janet El Reño's skirt to be successful?
