Friday WPRB DJ Pinup: Ray Gonzalez!
[AKA “The Death Ray”]
Years on air: 1982-84
Favorite Bands: REM, The Fleshtones, The Funstigators
Memorable on-air moment: Terrible live on-air interview with Wall Of Voodoo. Stan Ridgway wasn’t there for some reason and I was completely unprepared and ill-equipped to speak with the rest of the band. I made a couple of lame jokes and ended up pissing them off.
Advice for current WPRB DJs: This was originally passed along to me from Billy Disease (Kevin Hensley): Never just play one Ramones track when you can play two back-to-back.
