sad ass radio jock
Peter K. O’Connell delivering WDCR Paddy O’Grams circa 1983
Based the tremendous response to yesterday’s post (crickets: chirp, chirp), many of you asked “OK, what DOES a sad ass radio jock look like in 1982?”
Again, I believe now we’ve satisfactorily answered that question too, haven’t we?
This picture may require a bit more explanation.
You see, as a fund raising tool, the University of Dayton’s campus radio station, WDCR, would create seasonal message deliveries with staff dressed up in costumes of the season. We did them for Christmas (Santa), Thanksgiving (Pilgrims) or in this case “St. Patrick’s Day”.
Yes that IS me dressed as a Leprechaun delivering a silly (possibly naughty) message to some campus house while using my famous Irish brogue (which would likely get me thrown out of any pub in Dublin).
On the plus side, many women thought it extremely good luck to smooch a Leprechaun.
So I had that going for me, which was nice.
{smooch!} :-* 🙂
