There are some folk like that with great inner resolve. Eddie Kidd is one such example.

Sorry for the loss of a mate and an inspiration.

I remember him.

He was one of the last “entertaining” radio people IMO. Replaced by real rubbish now, whose chat consists of making themselves laugh at things that aren’t funny, pausing so you also realise that it was a joke…and playing crap music. I graduated from R1 years ago, now I’ve left 2 and am wandering around the airwaves like a fart in a trance. Homeless.

Radio 1's target audience is 16- 25 Year olds (IIRC). They aren't for you, they don't want you

I thought even that sounded a bit too old, but apparently it's 15-29, officially. Though if you're still a regular listener at 29 I'd say you might want to re-evaluate a few things in your life! I reckon it's for kids who've moved up from Kiss at about 10-12, but I think you should be long out of there by 18.

Mind you, I have a mate who's got a radio in his workshop that's he's had since the 80s that's never changed from being tuned to Radio 1. He reckons it keeps him down with the kids.

That one never works.

No. It hasn't worked at all.

I think the only benefit is that he can answer the contemporary pop questions in pub quizzes.
