after i got home from work i was greeted by the news that Dr. Metal from 94.1 WHJY was at the show to introduce Great White and as of right now he is still missing.
I always thought this was sad but now I found out I have a personal connection to it and now I am a wreck.
For those who don't know. Dr. Metal has been doing the Metal Zone, a two hour metal show on the big radio station WHJY for over ten years. He not only provided me with much entertainment during my college years, but he also inspired me to get my own metal show at the college and not ony that but he hooked me up with radio contacts, stopped by my show for an interview(which I still have on tape), and became a general mentor to me in getting hooked into the metal scene. He even told me where to go and what time to go to meet bruce dickinson before his show at the Strand.
He helped to have a good reason to be a loser on Saturday nights and not go out and drink like every other normal college person around me. I always cherished listening to his show on the night we set the clocks back because he always got an extra hour and at 2AM when we set the clock back to 1 he would play Iron Maiden's "Deja Vu" every year.
Maybe its the fact I was at the wake of a friend's grandmother and maybe its because of the wine or maybe its because i am an over-emotional bitch but i am just all shook up.
this tragedy sucks. i feel bad for everyone who died there.
