if you thought radio was good in '78 you should have been there at the
end of the '60s and through about '75! KOME was way better before all
that crew came in. At KSAN there was that creeping apathy, and
drunkenness that really ruined people like Richard Gossett. KSJO used to
be be ok too, but then you got your Lobsters and Dana Jangs.... awful.
There were some horrible backstabbers running those stations. I know,
I've got the scars to prove it.
Funny, up hear in Montana at KGLT there are a load of ex KSAN djs. The
GM did time at KOME, KSJO and KSAN, as did myself. Sean Donahue was on
the radio here until his untimely death... A couple of others we're part
of that scene too, though I didn't know them at the time.
