Steve Dahl, after having left WABX-FM in Detroit for the Windy City in 1978, Dahl made a name for himself nationally while at WLUP in Chicago with his memorable (and most disastrous) “Disco Demolition Night” at Comiskey Park on July 12, 1979.

I listened to you on
ABX and W4
every morning you got me loaded
to face the teachers preoccupied by mid-life crisis or a fucked up personality
Carmen Harlan
the Jackie Stewart mimic
Made me laugh
Best wishes Steve Dahl
I’ve got to hand it to you Steve. You made many hours of boredom working the assembly line at Fords most enjoyable! We always listened to your WABX shows, every day. Great stuff!
Travis T. Hip and Dick The Bruiser were hilarious. Thanks for the great memories.
