One of the more interesting politicians of recent years. Of course most know of his addiction problems, for which he went to prison, but some may not know that he made a comeback, with another mayoral term and then on the city council until his death.

While Marion Barry may be gone, the Marionberry continues to exist, especially in Oregon.

Just moderate and you will be fine.

BTW, I like your id on this site. “Oldies that Rock”…

We are doing this in Idaho right now and the early results are positive. It appears to me that the new classic hits stations combine hits of all genres from the 70’s on…pop, rock, and even a little early 80’s alternative.

Thanks Paul! What station? I would like to listen.

Sure…it is KQEO 107.1, check Arrow107.com Warning: We really don’t rock, but if it was a rock hit from our era we play it!

RIP. I am surprised that he made it to such a ripe old age, given his past problems.
