Title: R.I.P Lopez
Post by: greenyboy10 on May 23, 2005, 03:16:00 pm
Can't believe this hasn't been posted yet but:
 
 This is a thread for Lopez.  Post your best lopez memory here.
 
 for those of you who don't know.  He died yesterday after over a year long battle with cancer.
 
 He made the drive in to work everyday great.  His news was the best on the radio, and no one could outsmart this guy.

Who was Lopez?

No specific memories but since I was a young kid I was listened to Lopez and 98 rock.  They have changed least in what they play, and Lopez as you say had great news that I listened to.  I have to admit, it was like those teachers that made learning fun.

sorry he died, but does that mean 98 Rock will only be 2/3rd's as annoying?

He did the news on 98 rock for the last 27 years.  He was great at making the news something that the teens would listen to, and still have enough so that you could say something useful in contemporary issues class.
 
 It will probably now be 3/2 as annoying, he was a calming influence IMHO.

how dare you belittle this man!!!
 
 there's so many jokes about death, rape, incest, and rimjobs on this board ... can't we just all talk about bands and how hard they work and how great they are?  i mean, they really give it their all and we should support them.

when did a penchant for spot-on satire become a symptom of tourette's?
 
 if it is, i feel bad for the teachers of the world ... all of a sudden the awkwardly-out-of-context "fuck shit fuckitty fucks!!!" from that weird kid in the back will be directed as biting literary and scientific criticism.
 
 how will they deal?

Sounds like Sonick is becoming the new Rhett, not that I disagree with a whole lot that he says, but alot of other people do. Well I disagree in the fact that he thinks the Red Sox are better than the Yankees, but we'll be fighting each other about that subject to our graves.....TO OUR GRAVES I TELL YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
 
 Speaking of graves.....Is Lopez still dead?
Title: Re: R.I.P Lopez
Post by: sonickteam2 on May 25, 2005, 11:54:00 am
no no, not mocking the Foo Fighters.
 
   its just this thing, perhaps in my head, that everyone gushes about what a great band the Foo Fighters are and they are great to thier fans and hard workers and Dave Grohl is the coolest guy ever, but i rarely hear a lot like "thier songs are awesome"  
 
   perhaps it was just cause i was at thier show last week. but it just seems like a lot of people love the Foos, but dont really listen to them. A strange thing for a band.
 
    i dont mind the Foos, bags, dontcha worry.

i'm not a foo-follower, but they're not really a band, right?
 
 i know two of the guys from sunny day real estate / the fire theft were in foo fighters for a while, and i thought it was just a revolving cast of role players around dave grohl.  am i wrong there?

Sonick's opinion concerning American beer was accurate.

Nope, they're really a band and have been for four of the five albums.  Only the first album was Grohl himself.  There've been some changes (Pat Smear left, but he was a vestige of Nirvana, really), but no more than the regular band.  And the current lineup's been in place for three albums.
 
 I think the Foo Fighter's have great songs and I listen to their albums extremely often.  For a few months after release, daily.
 
 Sonick -- did you stay for the HFStival Foo set?  Not sure a summer festival set is going to be particularly emblematic -- their shows are fantastic.

Well as a veteran listener of many radio stations that have come and gone and having grown up in AA County and matriculated in the early 70's. Listening to KML and 98Rock and having to drive to Laurel to listen to 99.1 in the early dayz when the had only 9000 watts, I'll miss Lopez as well as the other DJ's who have come and gone but he will always be in the hearts of listeners in Baltimore.
