Last Wednesday, longtime radio personality/astrologer, Darrell Martinie aka "The Cosmic Muffin," lost his three-year battle with cancer. Tributes from his fellow WBCN co-workers, Charles Laquidara and Steven Strick, are heartfelt and sincere. Martinie started his career back in the 1970s doing horoscopes on the air for the Big Mattress, the morning radio show at WBCN hosted by Charles Laquidara. After Laquidara retired in 2000, Martinie continued to broadcast his zodiac forcasts until June this year. He was heard all across the East Coast from Portland, Maine, to Miami, Florida.
I had the pleasure of meeting Darrell when I was volunteering at WBCN during the mid-1990s, just before Charles Laquidara moved his show, The Big Mattress, over to WZLX in 1996. He was very kind and very helpful to me when we talked about the Zodiac. Also, I loved the sound of his voice.
You will be missed, Cosmic Muffin. Over and out.
Please, check out the articles about the passing of Darrell Martinie in the Daily Item, the Boston Globe and the Boston Herald.
