Dean’s been working in radio in this market for eleven years. Most people don’t know him by sight unless they’ve been to a live remote or some event he’s emceed, but he often gets recognized around here by his voice. “Hey, you’re the guy on the radio.”
So this morning shortly after Dean got to work, the part-timer on the overnight shift went outside to empty a garbage can in the dumpster in the parking lot. He came back in and looked at Dean with awe. “You’re the guy with the Z!”
Dean had driven his 1979 Datsun 280Z to work. “Wow, my friends and I talk about that really nice maroon Z we see around town. We were wondering who owns it. Cool car – wait ‘til I tell them I know the guy who owns the Z!”
So now we know the price of fame. No, it’s not working your ass off in radio for years. It’s $3,000 – that’s what Dean paid for the Z in 2005.
