RIP Al Perry - former GM of WBCN

[A Joseph Ross]

Makes sense.  By 1985, there were a lot of cars with AM-FM radios. My 
parents' 1977 Oldsmobile, which I took over in 1988, had an AM-FM radio, 
too.  In fact, I think that was the only part of that car that never 
broke down.  Someone should have gone to jail for the way Detroit was 
building cars in the 1970s.
