| Neil Young – On the Beach Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| rocket88's story is the way I remember it. "Clean" had come from the legitimately underground, long-defunct KPPC. He was more than a handful but somehow managed to get hired on KMET which was owned by a major chain (Metromedia) who were trying to figure out how to steal fire from the real underground FM scene. He was a quirky radio personality, seeming to affect a conscious stutter at times and having sometimes extremely strong opinions about what he played. I really liked him for a long time but in the mid-70s he seemed to retrench to dinosaur rock. I remember the only time I heard him play the Sex Pistols. I was excited because I thought my then-favorite DJ was finally catching up to the times. But on the outro he said something like, "Well, that's the Sex Pistols and you'll never hear them again on my show." And he was right, because I stopped listening right after that and found a station that wasn't mired in the early 70s. | |
