Reply #21: Berg

He was a treasure. I was driving to work when Boyles announced he'd been murdered. I recall him saying "They killed the mockingbird".

It's odd to look back now and think of Berg as a kinder, gentler brand of talk radio. Remember his garage sale broadcasts? Folks would call in with what they had to sell and he'd grill them on the quality of the item. And then he did that whole program on if folks like the toilet paper roll to sit with the paper coming over or under the top.

But, then - this is stuff for the DU Lounge, huh? :) Good memories!

Btw, do you remember KWBZ? That was a short lived but wonderful station with Boyles doing marathon 6 hour call-in shows to keep it afloat. That was around 1978 back in Pete's drinking and drugging days.
