JP: And then from that I became a disc jockey which was about the most famous I ever was�I was on BRU, but this was long after I had graduated�I was on BRU from 72 to 83. And I basically went against the grain, like everybody was saying, �oh, that old music is no good, only the modern stuff is good,� and they were throwing away all their Beach Boys albums and stuff, and I realized, �oh no, [chuckle] this is just temporary madness,� so I did, I did, I played oldies, but different than the top 40�s stations played oldies. I tried to put a little ... a little bit of, you know, historical perspective to it. In other words, instead of just letting the audience request the music I tried to lead them a little bit, and it was just the right time and I was successful beyond my wildest dreams�unfortunately you don�t get paid at WBRU, but I mean, by 1980 I was voted the number one radio personality in the market.
