Whoa....Dorman and the rest you mentioned appared on WRKO a long time after
the station's 1967 kickoff.  Even so, if the show is just for one day, do
you really think that the same people who heard, say, JJ Wright doing one
shift on Talkradio 68, stop listening to WRKO, and go find Wright at his
regular station?

A lot os us have warm memories of the good times of the past...because they
were days of more-innocent music, and when jocks didn't swear at us.  Not
all of us are Stern fans....and that goes for talk hosts that think filthy
language and innuendoes are a class act.
