why is it that everyone forgets/ignores that Laquidara's last station here was WZLX?

Even the most righteous among us want a house in Hawaii.... really, it's not his fault that he had to follow the work. But I know, it's ironic etc...

The move to Hawaii thing doesn't change that his last station in Boston (nor do I have any issues with him moving - I'm not judging), four years of it, was ZLX - yes, he had close to 25 years with BCN - but ZLX is what he left when he left the town.

I didn't know that until I read your comment. I've always associated him solely with WBCN.

Whereas I never associated him with BCN until the hoopla over the closing of BCN, because I moved to Boston from DC in 1997, and, contrary to what wikipedia says, they had the Big Mattress on ZLX, as well.

I first heard him on the radio around 1975, after I moved here for college. He had a second show on BCN under the pseudonym 'Duane Glasscock'.

Ah, yes, Duane Glasscock...I can still remember a "One Night in Bangkok" parody called "One Night with Glasscock", back when you could sometimes say "asshole" on the radio if you snuck it into a song, and nobody would have a coronary ("think of the CHILDREN!!!!"). I always enjoyed those song parodies, and was disappointed when I moved back to the area after 8.5 years in GA and found that they'd pretty much stopped doing them. *sigh*
