Detroit personality Russ Gibb (WKNR, WDRQ, WTWR, WCXI etc.) as a DJ in the the 60's killed Paul McCartney with a rumor.
In the late 70's he hosted the pioneer Punk radio show The 25th Hour as well as a continuing radio phone-in show that pre-dates the Rush Limbaugh types. He went on to revolutionize the teaching of high school video in the 80's and 90's. Today he is blogging his at radom rants. To find out more see the links page for Russ' WDHS video page and his blog.

Above is Russ with a dead Paul McCartney. Above him is the 25th Hour clock, Iggy Pop is on the video screen, Nellie Lutcher looks over his shoulder as do his students. His underground comic O-Zone sits on his desk with a record for DJ Russ, an apple and video cassette for Teacher Russ. On the wall are flyers from The Grande Ballroom (his Detroit Rock Club) and band flyers from local Detroit talent he promoted.  Felix The Cat, the mascot of his classroom, watches over him.
