I picked up Burning Up the Air by Steve Elman and Alan Tolz yesterday
at Borders. So far it has been a wonderful read about the career of
Jerry Williams.

I haven't gotten to the WRKO part yet but anyone who doubted Jerry's
impact just has to look at the seatbelt repeal vote that Jerry
championed. Anywhere in the Commonwealth where WRKO could be heard
voters went for the repeal. Only in Western Mass did voters want to
keep the law the way it was.

You never knew what would set him off but when he blew it was great radio
