During a rock radio career that spanned 30 years, Larry Lujack slaved over hot microphones in various Idaho Cow Towns, drifted briefly through Spokane, San Bernardino, Seattle & Boston, before eventually winding up in Chicago where he spent the last 20 years of his career·most of it at WLS.

In 1987, after deciding that he had done all he could to make the world safe for hypocrisy, Mr. Lujack became bored with turning the minds of teenage America to mush and decided to bail out of radio before he suffered irreparable brain damage himself! (Slammed his headphones into a WLS urinal and said: ãscrew it!ä)

He and his wife now live in seclusion, somewhere in northern New Mexico, where he reportedly spends his time staring at the mountains, listening to the coyotes howl & the wind blow free, pondering the mysteries of space & time in an effort to achieve some sort of cosmic consciousness·and mostly just dodging rattlesnakes & waiting to die!

When asked to sum up his legendary broadcasting career, Mr. Lujack replied: ãWhy bother?  It was just a meaningless blur!ä


Larry was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame at the Muesum of Broadcast Communications in November, 2004.

ãIt all started at a 250 watt radio station in Topeka, Kansas.  We were just north of the grain elevators near the Kaw River.   It was one of the best times I ever had in radio.  I made mistakes, learned a ton of things and got the chance to impress girls by being on the radio.ä   Edwards eventually moved on to Washington, D.C., where he worked at night at a radio station during the era of peace demonstrations and great rock music.

Edwards programmed WLS for a year then he went back on the air full-time. He joined Larry Lujack in "Animal Stories" and handled the mid-day shift. He was also the Chicago Stadium voice of the Chicago Bulls for 14 years and now he’s back courtside at Chicago’s United Center.  The next time you go to a game and they play "Rock n Roll Part II" and the crowd yells "Hey!" you can blame Edwards. He was the first to play the song during a sporting event. He was also the first to use the Alan Parsons Project "Sirus" as an introduction bed. Now both songs are being used throughout the country at various events.

After spending two years in Boston, Edwards moved to Los Angeles in 1992 to program KCBS-FM. He developed the "Arrow Format" so 30 and 40-somethings can remember their glory days of sex, drugs and rock n roll (if they can remember their glory days).
