    Scary situation that radio people can face. Decades later, talk show host, Alan Berg was shot and killed. Being a public figure has its dangers for sure.

    Sounds like the unnamed engineer cleaned the kid’s KLOQ.

    One night at KAYO, a couple of Indians phoned and wanted to hear a nice Indian song so I played Red Wing, an old standard praising an Indian girl by that name. Wrong song – the same guys called back and said they were going to be outside when I got off work at 2:00 A.M. and beat me up. I called SPD and they told me if someone was going to do that they wouldn’t call first, so relax, so I did and lived to tell about it.

      Dang! Close call. You should have played Running Bear.

        If they had carried out their threat, your advice would have looked great on my tombstone.
