You Know the Dealer

This nugget, gleaned from Monday night's post-radio-show conversation with Aldermanic President Jim Shrewsbury, is too golden not to share: Shrewsbury recalls the first time he ever listened to KSHE. The year was 1968, and young Jim was 12 years old. Driving home from mass in his mom's new car (first one with an FM radio!), he turned on the Real Rock. which was blasting Steppenwolf's "The Pusher." Mama Shrewsbury put a stop to the car — and the nonsense — immediately. (Read some of the lyrics, and you begin to understand that it's really not ideal post-church material...)
