This has to be the best tribute to ZZQ I've ever read
"Hey Kevin, Thanks"
It's so good, I plagiarized a line or 2 of it in my profile section "about me"
enjoy

"But partying out at Lost Rabbit with Houses of Holy blasting on ZZQ from the car radio..."
That brings back some memories...
THANK YOU for this
It all started with WJDX FM 102.9 (The Rock) if I remember correctly. It was one of 3 "album rock" stations in the country I think. And yes Gregg Allman WAS AND STILL IS THE MAN. The Allman's were never duplicated. Other southern bands were good in their own way but NONE took Black Delta blues and injected it with southern fired Rock. They were integrated from the start and Duane had the "more the merrier" mentality....he just wanted to play. Thank you again for this.....it gave me chill bumps......

you might even remember that ZZQ made a star out of an unknown artist named Dan Fogelberg. His first sellout concert was in the City Auditorium in Jacskon, and it was broadcast live on ZZQ.
Here it is.

I was a big Fogleberg fan because of them. To borrow a line from Iris Dement "just like they say nothing good ever lasts. "
I didn't make the one in city auditorium but made all of the other Fogelberg concerts at the coliseum. Bought all his first four albums at Bebop. You are right, Fogelberg was a Jackson fav in his early career and ZZQ gave him a lot of airtime.
