Radio Personality

The Resume

    (November 20, 1954- )
    Radio host on WCKG-FM in Chicago
    Previously worked at WLS-AM, WLS-FM, WLUP-AM and WLUP-FM in Chicago, and WDAI-FM in Detroit

Why he might be annoying:

    He claims to be the trailblazer of 'shock jock radio.'
    He was born in the same year as Howard Stern.
    He once secretly recorded conversations of his WCKG-FM staffers because he suspected they were dissing and mocking him.
    His wife, Janet, sued rival radio host Erich 'Mancow' Muller for defamation.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was the brainchild of 'Disco Demolition Night' in August 1979, in which he and others burned disco records during a White Sox doubleheader at Comiskey Park; many point to this instance as the beginning of the end of disco.
    As a result, he has been denied access to the ball park (now US Cellular Field).
    He is credited for inspiring other radio hosts' careers, in Chicago and across the country.
