Lin Brehmer's passing

Lin Brehmer, WXRT 93.1 radio legend and Master of Ceremonies passed away at 68.  Everyone on air in Chicago radio today shared stories and memories of Lin Brehmer.  WXRT did a 4 hour program for Lin and the hosts of every block of WSCR 670 The Score spoke openly of their fondness and admiration of Brehemer who's long time Cubs fandom and music appreciation overlapped with their interests. 

I believe the last two times we heard Brehmer was for the Wilco/Robyn Hitchcock Concert in December 2019.  Hitchcock was so great opening for Wilco we bought tickets for his tour in Spring 2020.  Sadly, the Pandemic would cancel that tour and then trying to reschedule for the Lightbulb Head in 2021 never materialized.  We then caught Brehmer at Jason Isbell's August 2021 outdoor performance at the Schaumburg stadium.
