AND THAT YOUNG MAN WAS...

If you're quick, you can find an interview with that young DJ, who also moved on, cached at Google. A brief excerpt:

ARC: How long have you been at KROQ?

yDJ: Since April of 1987, when they rescued me from Anchorage, Alaska, where I was doing afternoons and production... I thought that if you wore a bolo tie, that meant you were alternative, because that was all I had seen in Anchorage. There’s not a lot to help you figure out what alternative is up there, and I was at a KLOS-type station at the time, which I thought was the coolest thing going.
