KevHead for life. He makes those funny wacky voices. Great morning show.

@BenRichards87 If you think it's so easy being an announcer, then go to the radio station and try doing his job.

You would probably last about 5 minutes.

To this day, I have no idea what Beth and TIm Disa look like.

That was quite a time in radio.

I listened to AM100 all day back when we lived in Chicago. Johnny B, Kevin Matthews, Steve and Garry. Had a Kev Head T shirt and still have the coffee cup.

A glimpse into an era of Chicago radio that is no more. When I moved into Chicago in 1996, WLUP was the best! Steve and Garry had left, but you had Johnny B, Kevin Matthews and Danny Bonaduce all on one station. I could turn the radio on in the morning and just leave it there all day.

I live in the Milwaukee area, and was always grateful that we were able to receive the WLUP signal during those crazy, heady, "golden days" of Johnny B., Kev, and Steve & Gary.

So often I would tune the station in while doing a few odd jobs around the house, and before I knew it, would end up listening for hours on end....

You know, it just occurred to me that I can't remember the last time I listened to the radio that long........probably not since the good old days of "The Loop" !!!

That was and still is the funniest line up on the radio! Like blonde1260 said I too would laugh my ass off!  It was a shame it all came to an end.

[nonaverageblonde1260]

oh, man, those were the good old days, when i'd listen to those guy and laugh and laugh....

Brandemeier, Kevin Matthews, Steve Dahl and Garry Meyers. A radio line-up that will never be duplicated! These guys had real talent.

97.9, DA LOOP, WLUP, "Where Chicago Rocks!"

Thank you to all those on WLUP who've worked hard entertaining the Chicagoland area since 1977.

May your signal never die.
