This week, CHML’s Scott Thompson starts by asking about Suzanne Crough, the red-haired young daughter with the tambourine on The Partridge Family. Crough died earlier this week at 52. This leads to a discussion of other child stars and how I keep running into them as 50- or 60-year olds at the Hollywood Show, an autograph-seekers nostalgia fest
This week, AM900 CHML’s Scott Thompson asks about my trip earlier this week to Nashville.

Clarkson recently ran afoul of his broadcaster after one temper tantrum too many and was informed March 25 that his contract will not be renewed. This after not enough
If CHML AM900’s Scott Thompson sounds a bit thrown this week, that’s because his computer shut down right at the start of our segment. The poor man had to think on his feet! No matter–asking me one question is like lighting a six minute fuse. I blab on about my recent trip to Hollywood where I
Seven hundred and forty-three thousand estimated, overnight viewers across Canada watched Saturday’s Hockey Night in Canada tilt between The Toronto Maple Leafs and the St. Louis Blues.
