Talk:Johnnie Walker (DJ)

Modifications

Hi folks some minor additions / mods have been made to expand on JW's career, and popularity based on radio 2 official boigraphy and Walkers autobiography. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.157.246.142 (talk) 02:22, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

It is far from obvious what this sentence means: "However his stance is not completely defiant, often outlining the hideousness in the pedantic views of the politically correct". Can the author please have another crack at it ? Gerry Gerbil 15:24, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Furthermore this glowing testimonial of an article seems as if it were written by his agent. --Jigsawpuzzleman 17:17, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Some discussion as to the choice of his name would seem sensible I believe he has said that it was a result of a jingle from an American DJ (presumably the one referenced on Wikipedia in Maryland) being available (and more professional than anything they could produce) when he first started on pirate radio having been brought over by American technicians --AndyCPrivate 18:29, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

I linked the "WHFS" mention to the WHFS historic site, where Johnnie is listed...there was some confusion about whether is was the American JW, or the Brit. I listened to him, he influenced my work there later on...Susan 21:30 MT, 28 February 2010 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.9.108.94 (talk) 04:32, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

The Bay City Rollers

About 30 years after Johnnie was sacked by Radio 1 for describing the Bay City Rollers' music as 'musical garbage' he apparently apologised live on air to Les McKeown (the Rollers' lead vocalist) for his comments and McKeown for his part admitted that they had been making garbage.
