Steve Dahl longs for the days of dropping records instead of talking and reflects on Cheap Trick

Whaitaker Marshall
  The Steve dahl and Garry Meier programs one of the top rated AM talk shows in the Chicago area and the two hosts for years have often talked in between a massive amounts of commercials and song playing. These days are over as dal told his partner Meier and this is the thing he most missed about being on the FM was that his lazy fat ass would tire of talking so often. Dahl and Meier miss the days of dropping six or seven songs per four hour shift where they can relax their throats and ds form this very hard job of radio broadcasting. The radio hosts are now on an AM talk show dial format where songs are no longer played much to the dismay of Dahl and Meier who must now make up more air time talking and giving their opinions that they have in the past. Meier also related to Dahl about his time in a Karaoke  contest and how todays kids in the bars don't know of local act Cheap trick and other old artists of the seventies and eighties. Why anyone in their early twenties would need to know who or what Cheap trick is and Dahl and Meier are too nostalgic for the times of their generation and music. Dahl said that Cheap Trick should of been bigger than the Beatles and calls the song " I want You To want me' as an all tie classic that will be played and remembered for decades. The only reason old bands and musicians like Cheap Trick keep getting gigs through the corporate backers is because people in power are in their forties and fifties and the bands they grew up with are the ones they want to pay and support. You would never see this old band in lollapalooza unless some old dude with money pushed for it.  Ahh that would be if old dudes like Dahl and Meier stayed alive and Cheap trick and so called classic rock will be has beloved as Dahl and Meier love fifties music. I don't recall these dweebs playing Bill Haley and the Comets and the music band Cheap Trick _-which was a one trick pony--will be easily forgotten and not played as much in the future by corporate rock stations whose own format will be furtively changed and updated to more recent acts  in the coming years as seventies era people drop the can.
