Kidd Kraddick
His name is not really known in Chicago because I don't believe he ever cracked this market, but in Dallas, radio personality Kidd Kraddick is about as big as it gets. The entire radio world is in shock because he passed away this weekend at the age of 53. Read the article in the Dallas News to get a feel for his impact on that city.
I didn't really know him, although I've admired his work from afar. Now that I'm 50 years old, I also get a little freaked out when people my age just drop dead like this.
