The year was 1981. He was a radio announcer at KHEP FM, 101.5 on your FM radio dial. I hated hated hated the sound of him and thought it would be a blast to clap eyes on him and interview him for a class I was taking from the local newspaper arts critic -- and you can imagine what a tough job that was in Phoenix, Arizona, then or now. So I went over to the station, which was in what is now a barrio, and I met this short skinny Eye-talian looking guy wearing black wingtips and a Pierre Cardin tie. And he let me sit in the studio while he did his show, and he was very funny and I left with a major crush. I saw him again in 2000. He seemed much shorter, he was definitely stouter, and he dyed his hair. Things have a way of working out.
