WGN's Bob Collins (was Re: [BC] Weirdo dials)

[Kent]

Bob, known locally as Robert L, did a stint at our WOKY-AM, where he did 
his rock and roll DJing.  There are quite a few great clips of Robert L 
floating around.  And though he was great at WGN, I personally think he 
was at his best on an ol' AM rock and Roll station.
