The breakfast show, at least in the UK, is usually quite different to any other show during the day. I'll be honest & say that i tend not to like breakfast shows, for that very reason. I guess it's just me? :)Andy Guntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00402607157584209849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3604147601973013359.post-22239708186613812582010-12-24T21:06:37.476+00:002010-12-24T21:06:37.476+00:00Ken: Maybe the situation is a little different ove...Ken: Maybe the situation is a little different over here?<br />I've heard you talk of Greg Kihn before & i remember "Jeopardy". It sounds like he's ok. Funnily enough, after writing this blog, i read an article that mentioned that Dylan show. I did listen to one show myself & didn't really enjoy it. personal taste i guess?<br />Be thankful that you don't have any of those real 'celebrity" DJs, well not yet anyway.Andy Guntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00402607157584209849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3604147601973013359.post-29890508466647311962010-12-23T01:40:32.246+00:002010-12-23T01:40:32.246+00:00Well, I think you touch on a few things.

Since he's based out of Phoenix (or at least was), his show should be more live (due to the time difference - his morning would be your evening). Most morning DJs don't work the controls. They sit behind the mics and let the sound guy work it. At least that's been my experience. But you're right, very few these days have intimate knowledge of what they're presenting.QiRangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07625975756583245391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3604147601973013359.post-60624369529216271322010-12-22T16:42:32.104+00:002010-12-22T16:42:32.104+00:00I just have to laugh and say that my experiences h...I just have to laugh and say that my experiences have been a little different. First of all, I would consider the phrase "knowledgeable DJ" to be an oxymoron. More often than not, I find them not knowing half as much as they think they do, and saying the most ridiculous (and un-true) things.<br /><br />Locally, our "celebrity DJ" is actually more of a former celeb. Greg Kihn ("Jeopardy", "The Breakup Song (They Don't Write 'em Like That Anymore)", etc.) is the morning drive DJ on one of our classic rock stations. He knows his music, he actually is live, in the control room, every early morning. He's a real DJ, who just happens to have had a few top 10 hits a decade or three ago.<br /><br />I also love listening to Bob Dylan's "Themetime Radio Hour" on the Sirius satellite radio. I doubt Bob's touching any dials, but you hear some great music that he's obviously selected himself, and learn quite a bit from the show.<br /><br />But then, I can't think of any actors or other celebrity non-musicians who are DJing around here, so I guess it's a different story than what you're talking about. If they don't have a passion for music, what are they doing calling themselves a DJ?Ken Goldsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14352088132228110064noreply@blogger.com
