scathing ten-minute on-air diatribe against the LAPD. Laquidara continued his sometimes controversial political activism while on-air at WBCN in Boston. Following a commercial for a camera store, he denounced Honeywell corporation anti-personnel munitions, which brought on a lawsuit from the advertiser that sold Honeywell cameras. His alter ego, Duane Glasscock, was fired for telling listeners to send "a bag of shit to the Arbitron research bureau". Arbitron is a corporation that provides the radio industry with market research and listener counts, and Laquidara used Duane to question the integrity of the powerful company. He drew national attention in 1988 for leading anti-Apartheid protests and a boycott of Shell Oil. Retirement to Maui Laquidara finally achieved movie acting credit in 1998, playing a small part as one of the "phone dates" in the film Next Stop Wonderland, which was shot in and around Boston. After his retirement in August 2000, Laquidara moved to Hawaii. In 2005, Laquidara sold his home in upcountry Maui for over $2 million to Oprah Winfrey, whose magazine referred to it as a "fixer-upper". In another real estate deal, two years later he sold a sprawling estate in Haiku, Hawaii, that he had purchased for $1.75 million to spiritual leader Baba Ram Dass for $2.3 million. Laquidara occasionally prepared shows for internet broadcast via Mana'o Radio KEAO-LP in Wailuku, Hawaii. He did weekly broadcasts for about a year and a half beginning in March 2005. During the first half of 2006, Laquidara broadcast a show from his home in Hawaii that aired on Boston radio station 92.9 WBOS called "Backspin". The show was short-lived, however. Laquidara resigned shortly after being chastised for playing Neil Young's song "Let's Impeach the President" during the height of the Iraq War. In 2009, Laquidara returned to Boston to mark the closing of his original station, WBCN, doing a series of interviews and hosting an exclusive tribute party at a local nightclub to which only station employees and former employees were invited. While in Boston, Laquidara was inducted as a member of the Massachusetts Broadcasters Hall of Fame in recognition of his pioneering efforts in FM radio. While living in Kihei, Hawaii, he hosted Charles Laquidara Radio, an internet radio station that played a variety of rock, nu-wave, and classic hits peppered with comedy bits, song parodies and "Mishigas" segments from The Big Mattress. Present day Charles was featured in a 2015
