Tomorrow is the Real Don Steele's birthday. He would have been 77. He was the world's most exciting disc jockey and proud to say -- a dear friend. We were jocks together at two stations in the '70s -- K100 and TenQ, both in Los Angeles. This was when I used the air name Beaver Cleaver.
Steele was famous for his Friday night sign-offs. They were wild rants designed to get you amped up for the weekend, delivered in machine-gun fashion. From time to time I would follow him on Friday night (which was like being the next act after the Beatles on THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW) and noticed that he always had the sign-off typed out. So one Friday I asked if I could keep it and would he autograph it for me? Gracious person that he is, he said sure.
And now, in honor of his birthday, I am sharing it for the first time. Try reading this whole thing in one take without making a single mistake... in about thirty seconds.
I love you and miss you Don and always will. You and Tina Delgado will always be alive!
