Bill Heard must have been big. It says USA rather than any town or state. What I want to know is what did he hear?

Like the rest of the English language-we murder it: byoo-na vista...and as for Mr. Big Volume...in the end he "heard" a lot of law suits for unscrupulous business practices. If you're interested in the fall of a giant:

Bill Heard was such a huge and omnipresent thing in and around Columbus. Their media presence was as outsized as the Mr. Big Volume moniker. Thinking back on it now, I don't know why or how, but even as a kid I had an awareness that it wasn't a place that was easy to deal with or that a fair deal could be had.
