  • 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.

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

  • 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.
