Category New Orleans – WCKW – Rock 92.3!

I was the Afternoon Guy & Music Director for this 100,000 watt Rock station in New Orleans. Some of the best radio of my career happened here. You can tell we were having a blast!

Our Promotions Coordinator Lancehole, used to talk sh*t about getting piercings done. So, Supershow and I thought we’d offer to help facilitate this event. This is what happens when you don’t keep your mouth shut! Ownership was extremely concerned we were creating a hostile work environment.

I don’t care what anyone says…I LOVE Slash! He’s always been cool to me. I’ve had him on the air many times. But, this is one of the best times we ever had. And a prime example of why radio stations use the infamous “dump button.” (thankfully, this is the pre-delay feed). Yes…he was drinking. And we got him sh*tfaced! Plus, he still played that night, and never missed a note.

One of the all-time classic moments of my career! We could NEVER get away with this now. At the time “assh*le” was still OK to say openly. (I think?) My boss at the time Ted (his real name) pulled me in to his office to talk to me about making fun of the music we played, and then proceeded to discuss a health issue. He had an “anal fissure,” and felt the need to explain to me the entire situation. So, I felt the need to tell all of New Orleans about it. This is another in my continuing “for your health” series…for the kids.

Sometimes, my lack of compassion can be really creative. This was one of those things that came together spontaneously in the studio. Had I asked permission, I’m sure it would’ve been denied. And rightfully so. I didn’t intend for Leo to be a half-assed, Joe Pecsi knock-off. Just worked out that way. Not one complaint. New Orleans was a fun time!
