Superjock Larry Lujack To Emcee
Drive Concert

By J. Teruggi and J. Thain

Where are you going, Larry Lujack?

"I'm going down the middle of the road."

What do you see, Larry Lujack?

"Why, I see both sides. On one hand I see the legitimate complaints kids have today. I see their creativity being discouraged by regimentation in institutions such as military life, high school, and colleges.

"On the other hand, I see children who don't want to eat their vegetables but want banana splits instead. But we as adults know that this child should eat carrots instead of jelly beans."

Lujack also believes that too many disc jockeys talk at people instead of to them. Not Larry, though; he talks straight to the people and has been fired from four radio stations for being his honest and cynical self rather than a phony, bubbly fast talker.

The Superjock is not completely middle of the road‑he commits himself on the subjects of civil rights and drugs.

"If I were black, I'd be down there throwing bricks, too," he confessed.

Lujack believes drugs are "dumb" because it's impossible to escape reality. "Some jerk thinks he's a horse in Nirvana, jumps out a seventh story window, and ends up splattered on the ground."

Continuing down the middle of the road, Larry Lujack is confronted by two bullies beating his little brother. "War is like that," he philosophized. "Joan Baez (Harris) says that if you stop killing you stop war. But if your little brother is being beaten to death, there is no choice but to defend him."

Larry's little brother, however, is now going to be the defender since he has just been drafted. "There must be a better way," ejected the Superjock. "Maybe a lottery or maybe a paid volunteer army ‑ I don't know," he concluded as he jumped back into the middle of the road.

Larry played the role of defender when he served time in the air force. He made a few trips to the USOs and found them to be "real nice places."

At the GI Drive Concert, the proceeds of which will go to the USO, Lujack will be working with the For Days and a Night and the New Colony Six. Outside of being "just loud music" to Lujack, the New Colony Six have the best lead singer around and the Four Days and a Night, although "constantly switching bodies," are "good."

Larry Lujack has ridden in rodeos, majored in biology, been in the air force, and is now a prime time WLS disc jockey. He will continue on down the middle of the road until he fulfills his dream‑owner of a ranch in the West‑complete with cows and horses.
