How Paul Drew turned John Records Landecker into “Scott Walker.” Landecker’s autobiography named “Records Truly Is My Middle Name” carries this tale about being hired by Paul Drew (and making the decision to drop out of Michigan State in his senior year). He also re-named Landecker “Scott Walker,” which didn’t please John. While Drew was programming WIBG, he frequently hot-lined the jock, “even if he was in the middle of a sentence. The joke was that we all had sunburn on one side of our face because of that studio hotline light.” And Paul seemed to listen 24 hours a day.

Thanks Tom!
