In regards to Beth S's question..."When Tennessee won the Sugar Bowl in '85, who was the DJ at WOKI in Knoxville who locked himself into the DJ booth and Played Orange Blooded over and over and over again?"
That was no other than Shotgun Stevens, however he was not fired for that incident. Although he was not there long after that, the real reason why he left WOKI that same year was because he landed a new radio gig doing mornings at 99.7-FM WDJX in Louisville, Kentucky not long after he pulled the on air, "Orange Blooded Stunt". After he landed the new morning job at WDJX, Shotgun did turn a two weeks notice into station management to inform them that he had landed a new radio gig, and would be leaving for Louisville, Kentucky. Instead of allowing him to work his two week notice, they told him to go ahead and leave. That is the story I remember.
Contacted Doc, and he confirmed my story. He said it was right on the money.
