WBAI didn't always suck.  Back in the day it had a major impact on my life and career.  In late summer of 1969 -- a week after Stonewall -- I crashed for a while in Manhattan with a radio pal of mine. 

He introduced me to WBAI: Steve Post, Bob Fass and particularly Larry Josephson. I arrived in NYC a Top 40 DJ and left an FM believer.
