Growing up with The Nightbird and other mysteries...

Her voice was the voice of angels. If you were never lucky enough 
to hear her on air, you can still find her on YouTube... 
 

Alison Steele was an American radio personality who was also known by her air name, The Nightbird. She amassed a large audience on her night shifts on WNEW-FM in New York City during the late 1960s and 1970s. Her show featured progressive rock and artists associated with the counterculture of the time, combined with listeners' calls and Steele's own unique brand of conversation. Her original Nightbird show ran from 1968 to 1985. She then joined New York's WXRK in 1989 until 1995. 
Steele was honored with the Billboard award for FM Personality of the Year (1976), and she was the first woman to receive it. Years later, the same magazine established a new award in her honor, The Alison Steele Award for Lifetime Achievement. Steele was also inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Barb and I were talking about this last night. As much as we both used to love being in the City - hell, I worked there for 15 years - neither of us think we'll ever go back to visit, especially with all those fuckin' illegals all over the place. It's a shame really. I do miss it sometimes...

There was a time when I actually thought this guy was okay, but that was a long time ago, when he was Goobernator of the state I was living in at the time. Now he's just a hateful, power and position-hungry blowhard who need to shut the fuck up and disappear. Forever. Go away ya fat fuck ya. Enough's too much. Juss' sayin'...

That's not subtle, but it's still good.
