Bill Stage

The Bill Stage Radio Show is a distraction. The tasks you should be accomplishing in order to get that promotion or a better grade become secondary, almost unnecessary thanks to me. I’m Bill. I have been in QC radio since I started on 97X back in August of 1996 as a fresh faced go-getter…wide-eyed and full of passion & desire for all that life had to offer. Now that I’ve got all of that out of my system, it’s been a while since we’ve drank together. Let’s do that again. That was fun.

Who Was Paid The Most at Woodstock 1969?
I went to Woodstock '94 and it cost just over $100 for a ticket to the 3-day festival. The hamburgers were so bad that I didn't mind paying the extra 50 cents for the cheese.
I doubt the food was much better in 1969 when $18,000 was the highest paycheck for any performer...
