The guys at the rock radio stations were often the most insecure. Having become minor heartthrobs and mini celebs, they were constantly trying to live up to their own hype. Some were manic, some were smarmy, and some were completely down to earth. The ones who were themselves, who didn’t take their rock-radio job too seriously, inevitably moved on to bigger and better things.
Years ago, I spent about 9 months working at a radio station.The “Star” DJ was an unmitigated Jerk of the First Order. He seemed to think he was Gods Gift to the World.He also never missed an opportunity to be rude and obnoxious to anyone and everyone.And, as such things always seemed to go, the local Redneck audience just Loved him.Well, those who hadn’t ever actually MET him…

Because it’s hilarious when people can’t think of a way other than violence to deal with someone they don’t like…
