Steve Slaton is my my favorite radio D.J. of all time!
Steve Slaton is my my favorite radio D.J. of all time! He was recently let go from KZOK radio as a victim of this lousy economy. When you relocate please let me know where you are and I will be a faithful listener. I have grown up with your killer classic rock and roll stories and various attributes. Your “Breakfast with the Beatles” was incredible! It will not be the same without you! I anxiously await news that you are back o the air!
I wrote him a song and sent him the cd a few years back called “I’m alive”. I have reprinted the lyrics for you here is a nostalgic look back at you rock and roll delivery. I also got to see his broadcast live at some bar in downtown Tacoma in 2002 when Paul McCartney was doing his “Driving Rain” tour at the Tacoma dome. He is awesome and my friend! I will find him broadcasting somewhere and listen to him for days! he is a rock scholar and amazing dude!

Radio man, help me belong
Show me what’s right, tell me what’s wrong Oh radio man, don’t take too long Or I’ll give up the tight, for the price at a song
Music make the world go ’round
Dollar for dollar, pound for pound
So sing a sweet song when you know I’m down Oh Radio man , wipe off this frown, wipe off this frown
Keep playing your music, don’t stop too soon Radio rocket shoot me up to the moon Oh Radio man, come on and keep me in tune Come on and keep me in tune (Repeat chorus)
Radio man, help me belong
Show me what’s right, tell me what’s wrong Oh radio man, don’t take too long Or I’ll give up the tight, for the price at a song
A.M. F.M. whatever it takes
Crank up the music end keep me awake
Oh Radio man I dig the music you make,
I dig the music you make
A Flugel horn or a Bass Guitar
Maracas, piano, exotic sitar
Oh Radio man I think you’re a star, think you’re a star (Repeat chorus)
Radio man, help me belong
Show me what’s right, tell me what’s wrong Oh radio man, don’t take too long Or I’ll give up the tight, for the price at a song
My radio’s blasting, mile after mile
Thanks to you brother I’m cruising in style Oh Radio man, let’s rock for a while, let’s rock for a while
Oh Radio man, keep on singing
I feel your vibrations, my ears are still ringing You’re part of the plan, my Radio man, my Radio man Yes you’re part of the plan, my Radio man, my Radio man Keep on, keep on giving, so I’ll have reason to keep on living You’re part of the plan My Radio man, My Radio man My Radio man, My Radio man
I traveled to England twice to see The Beatles sacred stomping grounds. The first time was in 1992 where I stayed about 21 days, 3 of the in Paris though. I spent 10 days in Liverpool and the rest in London which I loved so much that I went back for another 9 days in 1997, I love Abby Road and sniffing that Beatle air! Really! In fact Micheal Moore is going to put me in his movie “Sicko” and use footage of me walking on my hands across Abby Road in 1997, and falling down, dislocating my shoulder, but receiving FREE medical attention through their International health care plan. So look for me in Hollywood soon, or at least on the big screen!
Here is my part!
