What's up, Braski, it's Sharkansas, stinkiest fish in the Wapsi. I love to disc golf while listening to KRNA on my Radio Pup App. Sometimes when I hear Incubus while at Legion Park in Marion, the plastic flies straighter. Don't deny the S.C.I.E.N.C.E. of the trajectory. Been doing this KRNA radio thing on and off for a decade and a half and couldn't be happier that it's being done here in Cedar Rapids. OK...San Diego would make me happier, but it would take longer to drive through traffic jams to get to the disc course discourse. Scenery would be better though. Come to think of it...does Townsquare Media serve California?

I Remember When This Station Was Lamar’s Place – The QT on 1st Ave.
Back in the day, QT gas stations had a dog mascot. Lamar was no stranger in Cedar Rapids. In what is now the Road Ranger on 1st Ave, the Quick Trip was a mandatory stop whenever we drove in on 151 to see a show at The Five.
My friend Jimmy Fitz lived in a house right behind the QT, so we had plenty of 24/7 fuel for those long concert nights...

My Best 5: 2014 singles...
Foo Fighters "Something From Nothing." Sonic Highways was the most anticipated record/documentary of the year. It did not disappoint. Dave Grohl has had the white-hot spotlight beaming down on he and his band for most of 2014...
