Big Rick

I happened upon Big Rick Stuart's website today. He was my favorite DJ on LIVE 105 a few years ago, and I was bummed when he was let go. He's still on KFOG today. But I never listen to that station. Maybe I should...

Anyway, Rick's site is cool, but by far the coolest part is his six-page personal timeline of the stations he's been at over his entire career. It's a venerable mini-history of Bay Area (and a few beyond) radio, and it brings back a lot of memories. Rick's had stints at KUSF, the Quake, KITS (aka LIVE 105), and even KNAC in SoCal, which later became the legendary "Pure Rock" station that broke all those LA hair bands I covered back in the Western Front News days.
