Just a story
I have worked in the Radio Industry since i was 15 years old. I was also in many bands growing up, so I love music of all kinds.. Country, Rock, Soft, Rap, you name it I like it, yes even at the right times opra. I remember the first time I combined smoking up and trying to talk on the radio.. Some people can pull it off, I am not one of them.. I worked a station that just played 50’s and 60’s music hit music. it was a small am station owned by the morning man, and his wife. I would work weekend overnights. Well my friend had a party and I kept saying no man I gotta work when he would offer.. Well that one night, i got the peer pressure to smoke not one, but 4 joints with friends. I went off to work and I was high as a kite… The guy i was releiving was about 45 and just worked nights for fun, and to get away from his wife and kids i think. I think he knew i was pretty fucked up, cause he was like good luck man, when he left. I am sure he could smell my clothes (not that I ever noticed the smell).
Well what seemed like 2 minutes it was time to talk, and I was backselling Perry Como magic moments song.. and for like 3 minutes i was talking about how funny his name was.. Our hotline suddenly rang (which for people who don’t know is the line used only for station employees), well i answered it on the air.. It was one of the full time guys.. He was quick and when he figured out he was on the air he was talking like he had some kind of news story. well i turned the mic off and he finished what he was talking about, and started giving me shit about how he would not tell the owner, but he knew i was high.. he kept saying just talk a little bit, tell the time and what song that is all.. well i did that for the rest of the night, but i did play a lot of beatles songs, and a bunch of dylan tunes.. after that night, the owner must have heard about a bit of it, and named my show the hippie overnight show with the Cub.. (ooh i was known as the cub, the latest find of the big bear which was the owner).
That may have been the first, but not the last time I was high on the air… I will write more and more about my life being high.
Peace and smiles..
