The above bumper sticker came from a great web site for those of you interested in old Birmingham Radio and TV...Birmingham Rewound. But frankly, I'm not sure the station was using the "Kicks-106" name during Greg and Courtney's reign. It may have started with a much simpler name for that simpler time: WERC-FM 106.9

I read that article this morning. I met Courtney about a month ago when he interviewed me on medical marijuana. Just this past Saturday he sat in on our entire meeting/training in BHAM. He's a real hoot!
