  1. Buster Bodine was a BIG Deal back in the 1970’s in Indianapolis. Of course there where only three radio stations playing decent music and WNAP was the only FM station doing it at the time. WIBC ruled the overall ratings but you can only take “Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head” on AM so many times before you consider self mutilation. WNAP was great.

  2. Sad news about the passing of the iconic and legendary Buster Bodine. John Kesler is right – he was a BIG deal back in the 70’s in Indy when it was know as Naptown. Thanks to WNAP and jocks like Buster, Tom Robinson, and Adam Smasher – I was exposed and educated on great classic rock music and well as deep cuts. If memory serves correct, he just celebrated his 70th bday early last week. Very sad day. RIP Buster. #WNAP #TheBuzzard #TheWrathofTheBuzzard #Indy #Naptown #OldSchool #FMDial

  3. Al Stone was my 9th grade English teacher, he work rock and roll lyrics in to the class. He demonstrated how bad the lyrics where grammatically. But we listened to a lot of great Rock and Roll and of course we had all the buzzard swag. RIP Buster you were a classic R & R genius.

  4. It was a great era of radio and music! When rock was classic, and radio and DJs had personality! Buster’s classic voice and craziness was fun to listen to! RIP BO!
