When Rock Was Rock with Joe Kwaczala

When Rock Was Rock with Joe Kwaczala

You’ll have to forgive me, fellas — I just needed to take a moment to remember one of the greats.

It’s Fun Drop Wednesday on 108.9 The Hawk, and Whisp Turlington and Geoff “The Angry Man” Garlock welcome Pittsburgh rock promoter Jack Lundy (played by comedian Joe Kwaczala) — and he just won’t stop remembering.


From Cream to Chicago, The Doors to The Bee Gees, Jack can’t resist reminiscing about every band that ever existed, while Geoff and Whisp try to keep the show together, Scotty drops Napoleon Dynamite quotes, breaking the standing “No Drops From Napoleon Dynamite” rule!


  • Mystery Sound: Whisp tries to distract Jack with an old-fashioned game of Mystery Sound
  • Greg Lemonsour Meltdown: The Hawk’s dusty-groove music director joins in, only to be completely steamrolled by Lundy’s endless roll call of rock legends.
  • Art Spart’s Traffic Report: Val Verde’s favorite traffic reporter tries to get through his segment, but Jack hijacks it to talk about Traffic (the band).
