LEFT-OF-THE-DIAL DIVA

Karen Glauber opens her new column with musings about a pair of rock icons whose heydays coincided with her pre-HITS period on the A&M lot, which began when she was hired straight out of Oberlin by Mark Williams (fourth from right), another college-rock survivor. Karen is between Charlie Minor (his suit matching Gil Friesen's) and Jeff Gold in this 1984 photo of the label's new music marketing department; the other female is Jill Glass. But we digress, as does Karen, before she gets down to the business at hand in Post Toasted.
