    History

    WCUE-FM

    On March 12, 1958, WCUE (1150 AM) of Akron, Ohio launched an FM sister station at 96.5 Megahertz, WCUE-FM.

    WKDD (96.5 FM)

    By 1977, WCUE-FM which at that time was broadcasting an album oriented rock (AOR) format switched its format to "mellow rock" and callsign to WKDD. John Gorman, then Program Director at Cleveland rock station WMMS, recalls competing with WKDD in the Akron and Canton radio markets in its earlier days: "... the station attempted to create a 'Mellow Rock' mascot... " By the late 1980s, WKDD unseated WMMS as the highest rated station in the Akron market, including both Summit and Portage counties. The two stations continued to struggle for ratings dominance well into the 1990s. Often, one of the two claimed the number one position in the Birch ratings service, while the other won Arbitron's top spot.

    Stigmata

    by: Weeks

    Well I met the man who killed my mother
    He put holes inside her arms
    No they were not marks of stigmata lord
    Just a drug pumping empty heart
    Well I met the man who took my father
    Put him in jail and locked him away
    Well they say he forgot his children lord
    He might remember us again someday
    I blame the devil
    Well I met the man who killed my grandmother
    He took her mind as the shotgun blew
    A year later my grandfather followed her
    He’d had enough and shot himself too
    Well I met the man who took my good friend
    Oh, but he was only seventeen
    I saw him laying in a cushioned coffin lord
    It wasn’t him staring back at me
    I blame the devil, what else could it be
    I blame Jesus he ain't answering me
    Don’t call me depressed, don’t call me sad
    I’m giving up on this life I had
    Well I met the man who raped my childhood
    Oh well we were never young it’s true
    But when everyone around you keeps dying lord
    What the hell are we supposed to do
    Well I met the man who took my sister
    In a new family she will stay
    And it’s true that my mother’s a sinner lord
    She let another family fade away
    I blame the devil, what else could it be
    I blame Jesus he ain't answering me
    Don’t call me depressed, don’t call me sad
