DJ of the Week: Cory Hiar
What song, artist, or album changed your life?
CH: Dangerous from Michael Jackson. Soon after it was released in the heady days of 1992, I was rockin' it with one of my friends and he said he didn't like the album or, get this, any of Mr. Moonwalker's previous releases. After this revelation (I thought everyone liked Jacko), I started listening to other music and have never looked back...except to make sure that he wasn't following me.
What's the best concert you've ever seen?
CH: Wow, wow. Tough. I don't remember them very...vividly. Ask me at a party. It's a good conversation starter. Not to say that I wouldn't talk to you if you didn't have a conversation starter. It just makes things easier on both of us.
What have you been listening to lately?
CH: A whole lot of everything. I've just been really excited to get back into the WBOR studios and make a big ole mess. We don't have any Madonna down there. To complain, call x3250.
Favorite artist?
CH: Bob Dylan. Everything I have ever thought, he has said (not to be confused with "sung") immeasurably better. Unfortunately, he has also put out a lot of crap over the long, long, hard years. And he was awful when I saw him in concert. A hoarse, sweating corpse.
Favorite album?
CH: It all depends on how I'm hangin' but one album I could not live without is Let It Be by the Replacements. Yeah, not the one by the damn Beatles.
Favorite Beatles song?
CH: "Eleanor Rigby." In my ninth grade art class we had to draw "the face that she keeps in a jar by the door" and I lost points because my teacher said her face looked like Marlon Brando in The Island of Doctor Moreau. I figured there was probably a reason she was one of the lonely people. Like her uncanny resemblance to a bloated, aging Marlon Brando, for example. That was my last art class.
Hiar's show, Radio Unfriendly Unit Shifter (Version 3.0), can be heard Saturdays "during pregame primetime," 7:00-8:00 p.m.
