I've been revisiting the original Chicago lineup recently and focused on an LP that I didn't buy when it was new. The 3rd LP didn't grab me like the first two but the fact that even after using up so many good songs on the first two albums, they were still able to come up with this one while touring relentlessly is amazing. Terry Kath was other worldly, Cetera's bass was so cool put out front of the recordings, Seraphine's drumming was so damn inventive, Lamm's arranging skill was very underrated, and the horn charts from Pankow, Loughnae and Parazaider were the cherry on top.

Quotes Of The Day

"Trump is moving into the Late Elvis stage of presidency. Everyone around him trying to make as much money as they can fast and doctor giving him whatever he orders up."-Stuart Stevens

"First it was Burisma. Then it was Tara Reade. Then it was "Obamagate." All bogus. All failed. Next?"-Evan McMullin

"If they have enough information to tax and draft us they should automatically register us to vote while they're at it."-David Hogg

"Maybe republicans would take Coronavirus seriously if we tell them it’s storming the border in a caravan"-Sarah Cooper

"Not wearing a mask is a sign of your privilege. It means that, even in a pandemic, with thousands of people dying, you have not been touched by sorrow. Trust me, if you had actually seen Covid-19 in action, ravaging the human body, you’d be wearing the damn mask."-Dr. Shanti Akers

"Normally, it’d be a problem if the president was taking a drug which had hallucinations as a side effect. Usually."-Rachel Bitecofer

"Everyday we watch McConnell decimate the courts. Plessy V Ferguson (1896) decimated the gains of reconstruction. It took 58 years to undo it de jure. It is taking a lifetime to undo it de facto. It will be the grandkids of millennials who are left to fix this McConnell bullshit."-Brittany Cooper

"Let me end the suspense. Trump’s called multiple women fat, slobs, pigs, dogs. He bragged about grabbing us by the pussy. He attacked female journalists and wishes we’d be more like a subservient 1950s housewife. So, yeah. When Pelosi calls him obese I find it f*cking hilarious."-S.E. Cupp

"The @GOP is now the party of Trump.

Cover ups Guns Mass shootings Corruption Elitism Sexism Racism Xenophobia Collusion Chaos Conspiracy theories Hypocrisy Treason White Supremacy

And this was all before a botched pandemic response.

The @GOP doesn’t admire him. They fear him."-Alyssa Milano

"Trump’s bizarre promotion of hydrochloroquine as a way to stave off Covid-19 is worse than crazy. It’s demonstrably dangerous. No prior president — of ANY major nation — has been so idiotic a menace to life and health."-Lawrence Tribe

Tom King

Tom grew up in Wausau listening to sports on WSAU and music on our sister stations WRIG and WIFC and decided early on that that was where he wanted to be. After graduating from Wausau East in the mid 70's Tom headed to UWSP. He worked at the college radio station WWSP and weekends on WIFC while earning a degree in Communication.

After college he worked a year at WKAU radio in the Fox Valley before returning to Wausau and moving into radio sales. He missed the on-air work and returned to the air when WOFM went on the air and when it was purchased by Midwest Communications was asked to take on the sports position on WSAU. He has spent the last 13 years as part of the WSAU morning team while also broadcasting Wausau East sports and contributing to the morning show on WIFC.

If you listen to the show you know that Tom is the coach of the Wausau American Legion Baseball team. He's married (Sandy) with two sons (Wade & Cory) and spends his spare time reading, listening to music, watching movies and tv shows and following most of the major sports.
