1998 Ben Fong-Torres and Dr. Don Rose at the San Francisco Public Library

Recorded November 4, 1998 at the new Main Library. Ben Fong-Torres interviews Dr. Don Rose of KFRC San Francisco. "He was considered by many to be the king of radio in the Bay Area during the final decade of AM's musical dominance. He was named by Billboard Magazine as Disc Jockey of the Year on both the East Coast (while with WFIL Philadelphia) and on the West Coast (while with KFRC San Francisco). One of Rose's characteristic "sound bite" mannerisms when he was at KFRC was to state the words "that's right" in a continuous fashion that was intended to sound "crazy" or funny, which also served to represent the overall morning zoo radio format, style and "feel" of his show. Another sound bite that was used often was from a sexy female voice saying, 'Oh, Dr. Don you son of a BEEP.'
