I found out some really sad news today when I got home from work. One of the best DJs I've ever heard passed away on Saturday night. He constantly kept the airwaves and your ears full of music facts and was able to keep me entertain for hours on end. There aren't many times when I'll voluntarily stream the radio from the internet, or stay in the car a little while after the drive has ended just to hear the "end" of what the DJ is saying, but he always kept my attention.
He seemed to live and breathe music, the way that not many nowadays truly do. Even though he worked for a modern-rock music station, he had had a brief stint on a world-music station. Most wouldn't be able to make the transfer, but due to his love of music, no matter the type, he was able to bring his personality to many more. Good thing we got him back on to modern rock though; Saturday and Sunday afternoons might have been very different for me for the last while.
Anyway, I've talked more about him that I thought I would, but it's just come as a shock. He was under 40, and it's unrevealed what happened to him. But I hope that all the peace in the world comes to those who loved him and who he loved. Weekends just won't be the same.
