- You Were Loved, My Man. The Great Mike Lange, 1948-2025. Hockey HOF. "It's A Hockey Night In Heaven."
- STAN! You're in everyone's prayers, my man. We're all in your corner! Get Well Soon, pal! You Are Loved In Pittsburgh, because You Are The Godfather Of Pittsburgh Sports! patch.com/pennsylvania/p…
- I've had tears in my eyes all morning, remembering Tunch Ilkin. Tunch walks nto Heaven this morning. From across the room: "HOOM HAH!" Myron will show you around,Tunch. We loved you, my man.
- A 22 yr old Carlos Santana (B-Day) took some LSD Jerry Garcia offered him at Woodstock, Aug 1969. Carlos figured he had about 10 hrs before his band played. WRONG! 2 hrs later, Santana is told: "YOU'RE ON!" Tripping his ass off, Carlos & his band electrified the 400K+ crowd.
- When my wife Cindi's lung cancer returned for the 2nd X, Stage 3, Tunch Ilkin grabbed my hand in a DVE studio, we knelt down & Tunch said a prayer for Cindi. That's the kinda guy Tunch was. Wolf, we're praying very hard for you too, pal. Please hug Tunch's family for us.
- When a 22 yr old Carlos Santana (B-Day) took the stage at Woodstock Aug 1969, he was tripping his ass off on mescaline given to him by Jerry Garcia. Carlos & his unknown band weren't scheduled for another 12 hrs. He takes the acid. But then 2 hrs later, SURPRISE! "YOU'RE ON!"
- February 25 1947 The Godfather Of Pittsburgh Sports, My pal Stan Savran (B-Day) would be 77 today. We lost Stan 8 months ago. Stan & Guy joined me every afternoon on WDVE for 10 yrs. "STAN! GUY! LOVE THE SHOW!" We sure do miss you, my man. Happy B-Day In Heaven!
- Maybe The Greatest Rock Drummer Ever. RIP Neil Peart, phenomenal drummer for Rush. He lost both his daughter (car accident) & his wife (cancer) within a year of each other in the late 1990's. Neil's w/them both now, leaving us as a Cancer Warrior himself. Neil Peart 1952-2020.
- I am so deeply grateful to everyone for their best wishes re: my upcoming retirement! But that was one scary picture of me that DVE posted! The caption for this picture should be: "We saw Sean. He's doing much better. We think he'll be allowed supervised visits later this year."
- Next time you hear "Beat It" by Michael Jackson, the Thriller album, that's Eddie Van Halen's note for note perfection amazing guitar solo in the middle of the song! Eddie played it FOR FREE! He was never compensated, he did it as a favor to producer Quincy Jones. EVH gone at 65.
