Dweezil Zappa World

Got fired in the 70's from an FM station over musical differences of opinion. Ops Mgr's 12 year old daughter was big into Disco, and alas, I was not. Hearing Ted Nugent on the air, the Ops Mgr demanded I play a disco tune next or I was fired. I courteously obliged with "Disco Boy." He drove over to the station to get my key & escort me out before I was able to finish listening to "Dancing Fool" in the studio. Sounded great on my car radio as I pulled away from the station while he fumbled around looking for something "more appropriate" for the impressionable minds of the pre-teenage female population.

Moved to Raleigh, NC. Met and made friends with a fellow named Jack Wardlaw, & purchased my first life insurance policy. Learned from the late Mr. Wardlaw that he and FZ's Dad formed a troubadour band at UNC-Chapel Hill while they were in school together, and took me over to show me the LARGE photo of them playing that is still hanging in the lobby area of one of the campus buildings near the planetarium. Jack loved to send birthday cards, which FZ mentions in his book. Interesting encounter from a different perspective.
