"John Gorman describes in exclusive, behind-the-scenes detail the state of rock 'n' roll from the early '70s to the late '80s, when just about anything happened and everyone looked the other way ...

Filled with juicy insider details, this fast-paced story will entertain anyone who listened in during those glory days when FM delivered excitement and the Buzzard ruled the airwaves.… (mehr)
JenniferRobb: Discusses working in a radio station during the 1970s with memories of stars that came by the radio station during those times. Also discusses how radio stations decided what to play during those times.
JenniferRobb: Gorman's book focuses more on Cleveland, OH while Talevski's book covers many areas of Ohio. Gorman's book is more memoirs of acts that came through Cleveland and promoters who came to WMMS. Talevski's book is more fact-based.
John Gorman was head of Cleveland's WMMS radio station. He was approached by the publishers to write a memoir or compilation of stories from his time there. I was lucky enough to hear Gorman speak in Westlake, OH and enjoyed his stories. I particularly enjoyed his take on how radio has changed since his days at WMMS and how they used to make copies of "new music" brought in by studio representatives. I purchased this book after his talk and had him sign it for me. ( )

My first week at radio station WMMS I met Tom Brancanovich, the chief engineer of both WHK and its sister station, or as he would tell you "the FM too."

WMMS was no longer the soundtrack to Cleveland. It was just another FM rock station.
