Dennis Hopper succumbs to cancer at 74

Actor Dennis Hopper, notable for such films as "Easy Rider" and "Speed," has died. He was 74.

Hopper succumbed to prostate cancer Saturday at his suburban Los Angeles home.

97.3 The Brew is no more...

WQBW-FM (97.3) changed formats Friday morning. Out with the good music, in with (yawn) another teeny-bopper format. I have already taken 97.3 out of preset in the car and doubled up on 96.5 for now.

This is the second station in as many days (106.9 flipped Thursday) to change formats. A moment of silence for common sense in the radio industry is appreciated.

The Brewers actually won a game! Final score 4-3 Thursday in Pittsburgh.
