Me gusta hacer videos con modelos desnudas. Es una excusa para hacer música.

She knew the law. Some Justices seem like they’r She knew the law. Some Justices seem like they’re winging it. But Ruth knew her shit. And made it to 2020 all the way from 1933. Mi corazón está con ella 💔
The days when you had to have a license to broadca The days when you had to have a license to broadcast. You didn’t need one of these bad boys — which I studied for three years of high school to get — just the Third Class ticket (with the Broadcast Endorsement). So people did blow off mine in the KROQ control room until President Reagan (yes, there used to be halfway honest Presidents) deregulated the broadcast industry. He was a piker of a broadcaster, but at least he did radio drama.

Happy Birthday to Chris Frantz, instigator of Talk Happy Birthday to Chris Frantz, instigator of Talking Heads and Tom Tom Club, turning the big 69! Chris and wife (and band mate Tina) Their new son Robin gazes at me in 1981 after an interview (when I used to wear shirts because they were free). Please note New Yorker Chris wearing a Jellybean Benitez shirt. Tina, a few years before, handed me my first 45 RPM copy of Rock Lobster, and said I might enjoy the B-52s. We are lucky I did.

Silly me, I thought they were the Olsen Twins when Silly me, I thought they were the Olsen Twins when I posed for this photo. They totally hit on me, something about a hotel in Colorado, and joining them forever, and ever, and ever. Could hardly put a sentence together without looking at each other. Dreadful taste in clothing. Not MY fantasy.

My first month working at KROQ, the first DEVO alb My first month working at KROQ, the first DEVO album was released. We were crazy for this band, who drew dozens to the radio station, because in 1978, anyone could just walk in and did. Here, Mark Mothersbaugh hides behind the controversial Chi Chi Rodriguez album cover, while the band chats with fans. I look at Mark and his morbid JFK tee shirt.
Terrible timing. This letter was originally sent f Terrible timing. This letter was originally sent from “Mitch McConnell,” so I replied as if it actually were. While we’re just getting used to staying at home, they are fundraising. Maybe the 2 Trillion should have only gone to Republicans ; )
This was our largest beach remote, in Malibu with This was our largest beach remote, in Malibu with a performance by Micheal Penn. I was an early supporter and we got along well. People remember ‘No Myth,’ but not much else. BTW, many of my 80s & 90s posts are in my archive on DJjedthefish.com.

I can only describe my 90s hair-do as foofy. I mus I can only describe my 90s hair-do as foofy. I must have interviewed Depeche Mode ten times. Andy Fletcher managed to put together a cup of tea while we were in Burbank, shortly after Kevin and Bean started in 1990. Bean in 2019 departed from disinterest, and without Kevin Weatherly on board to protect Kevin Ryder, Jeff Federman — market manager — recently let him go, a typical cost-cutting move. Weatherly, after Entercom offered to cut his salary by 75%, immediately left for Spotify. The Kevins, both extremely creative, were making similar salaries. Radio tragically no longer harbors much talent, especially at music stations. There are still KROQ joqs with personality, but that is valued less and less. 😩😢🤬🤯
