I suppose what inspired me to be on the radio is that HFS offered me a show and I was broke at the time. A starving art school major. It was The Best Job In The World.
WHFS was revolutionary – at a time of social change, feminism, gay liberation, post civil rights multiculturalism, sex-drugs-rock n’ roll, all before corporate radio took hold. For those of us on-air at WHFS, our musical tastes grew alongside the audience. My exposure to Blues through Damian tremendously opened my ears.
I listened to WHFS when it radical and rocked!
The first time I ever heard Little Feat was on HFS. I remember it clearly (which is kind of amazing, given the times) — I was lying in bed in my dorm at U of MD, early in the morning, and Willin’ came on the box. I was already hooked on HFS, and after that I was hooked on Little Feat.
