... challenge of paying $20,000 if anyone caught them playing less. I had a friend from high school who became schizophrenic about his second year at Akron U. His disease and personality change was more than his family could cope with and he became a resident in sheltered residence where he would stay up all night long listening to the radio. One night about 2:00am, he heard only two songs and he claimed the cash.

Because the station was not ever intending to play less than three songs, they fired the dj and had investigators look for a connection between Larry and the dj. Finding none they gave Larry his twenty thousand.

The rest of the story is long and sad. But he did not get to enjoy his windfall for long.
