Non-Fiction Memoir
This rock and roll radio memoir takes you behind the scenes
at the nation's hottest station during FM's heyday, from
1973 to 1986. Sex and drugs, music and merchandising--it was
a wild time when the FM airwaves were wide open for innovation.
John Gorman led a small band of true believers who built
Cleveland's WMMS from a neglected stepchild into an
influential powerhouse. The station earned high praise from
musicians and even higher ratings from listeners.
Gorman tells how WMMS remade rock radio while Cleveland
staked its claim as the "Rock and Roll Capital" by breaking
many major international music acts. The fun may have died
when FM went corporate in the late 1980s, but it was a hell
of a ride while it lasted.
Filled with juicy insider details, this fast-paced story
will entertain anyone who listened in during those glory
days when FM delivered excitement and the Buzzard ruled the
airwaves.
