    So some guy on @wbez, Rick Kogan, is bashing me on the radio for not walking in pouring rain with bronchitis to do his show? Pussy move.

  2. This is the first time I've ever heard Rick Kogan referred to as "some guy" and a "pussy" but, hey, not everyone is a media nerd.

    @wbez Be a man, Kogan. Get me on the phone. Say it to me! Your station couldn't even get me a PARKING spot. I apologized and offered to call

  4. Here's the issue. There was no parking spot because the show was airing from the Christkindlmarket - assuming the show Marx was referring to was today - so the station wouldn't have had access to a parking spot.

    So this airbag, Rick Kogan at @wbez, feels I owe him to walk in the rain with bronchitis to sit for his genius questions and rags me on air.

    @retroradiogirl @WBEZ I said I'd go if I could get a parking spot close by (like at WGN today) or at least call in. They said no.

    Just got a half-assed "I didn't have the right information" apology email from Kogan. But the coward wouldn't meet me face to face. Typical.

    If @richardmarx is mad at @JustinKaufmann now wait until he finds out Justin once impersonated him wearing a modified Tina Turner wig.

  18. FACT: Scott Smith once tussled with Richard Marx when Smith was at Chicagoist. It ended much better than this.
