Jonathan Livingston ("My daddy was an orchestra conductor, so bow to me") Schwartz, official crybaby of John Kluge's Metromedia Corporation. Ah, won't spoil the magic, but WNEW-FM had some really interesting people there back when I was there. About the ONLY sane people there was Vin Skelsa, Dave Herman, Pete Fornatale and of course good old "Uncle Scottso" Muni, powered by Jack Daniels in his desk. LOL.Honorable mention to my good old buddy Richard ("Don't call me Dick") Neer to came over from WLIR as well as Al ("burnout") Bernstein. But he was there long after I left. :) It was a very interesting place to work, so many personalities, so many dramas between the AM side and the FM side. And when the station moved to 5th Avenue, got even stranger. Heh. Grandma however, was an absolute bitch. None of us liked her, but she had her following. Prima donnas had their place, but this was WNEW-FM fer krissakes. Hippie land, play what you wanted. Go downstairs, light up a bowl, hell. Do it in the studio, nobody gave a crap. Scottso was on the edge of passing out on bourbon at 4PM and he was in charge. As long as you were in the door and had your needle down on your starting cut for the hour when your leader's show was over, it was magic. You got paid. Lulz. |
