It's hard to believe now, but in the past some Macarthur-genius-grant-reject at WBZ-AM
actually fired David Brudnoy, but left him on for weeks.
A furious letter-writing campaign, supported in part
by the Globe's Jack Thomas was not sufficient.
DB did stand-in at WHDH-AM 850 for a while, the after the
bird-distributed show that replaced him tanked, David 
came back...the rest is histoire.
