The coolest thing about working for KDKB is meeting our listeners. KDKB is a different breed. We have a loyal legion of loveable misfits who would bleed for this station. Many of them are strange folks, lurking on the fringes of society. They are the party animals, the headbangers, the perverts, the working class, the unwashed masses. Together they form an elite race of rocker, the KDKB 'superfans'. If you're not a super fan, that's ok. You are probably better off that way. Like the old saying goes, "Once you enter this family, there's no getting out."
Here are 6 Signs that you might be a KDKB "Superfan": 1. You've been listening forever. Whether you were born and raised here, or moved here back in '89, you remember when you first heard KDKB and you've been rockin' ever since. You fondly recall bits from the Tim and Mark days, you'll never forget the day you won tickets for the Trixter concert, and you still have a 20 year old bumber sticker sitting on a old toolbox in your garage. 2. You have an official nickname. Here at KDKB, we don't know Eric, but we do know "Westside Eric". We don't know Bill, but we know "Wild Bill F@#$face". Same goes for Tow Truck John, Rushman, the Maiden guy, and Crazy bitch, just to name a few. To truly be a KDKB Superfan, you must have a nickname. Usually, we'll let you make up your own moniker. However, we may give your nickname a disparaging or obscene twist.
3. You call up the radio station for no reason at all. You don't want to win a prize. You don't want to hear a song. You just called because it's Tuesday and you were thinking about all the things you would do to Jenny, if only she would leave her fiance for you. 4. You really love that one band that nobody's every heard of. Maybe you went to high school with the guys from Sacred Reich? Maybe you still have that autographed Gary Moore album? Either way, you're drunk, it's 2am and, dammit, you just have to hear that Krokus song. But if we don't have that one, you'll settle for anything from King Kobra.
5. You hate every other station. Believe it or not, some KDKB rockers never change the channel. Not even when Neanderpaul is doing a testimonial for the Shane company. And you never get tired of your favorite songs. Sure, you've heard AC/DC a million times, but you still turn it off every time "Back in Black" comes on.
6. You're down for the team. If we're hanging out at a cell phone store, not only will you drive to Chandler, but you'll hang out for two hours and help the promo team set up the soundsystem. If there's a blood drive, you're donating (even on a Saturday morning when you're still hungover). If Ruby's got a ride, you're there. If a poor kid needs a coat, you bring two. You forgive our DJ's for hitting on your old lady at every concert. And if Mike Guabe gets evicted, you'll help him move. You don't have a lot of time or money, but you'll always find a way to help out if you can. If you suffer from any of these symptoms, you may be a KDKB superfan. Don't worry. You are not alone. There are hundreds of others who are just like you.
