RM's Miles Hampton.....

[phjrsaunt]

He's been down the dial as a man with no name
It felt good to be broadcast again
On the dial, you can't remember your name
'Cause there's too many stations for to give you your name

I absolutely adore Miles, and appreciate all he's done for the BN community and parrotheads around the world, no matter what his name is. Great guy!

Baby, if you've ever wondered,
Wondered whatever became of me,
I'm living on the air in Cincinnati,
Cincinnati, WKRP.
Got kind of tired packing and unpacking,
Town to town and up and down the dial
Maybe you and me were never meant to be,
But baby think of me once in awhile.
I'm at WKRP in Cincinnati..

I don't have Sirius (Shirley I can't be Sirius!) but Human Numan sounded familiar to me. He's been discussed on BN before...

I don't think he knows what his 'real' name is

I'm at WKRP in Cincinnati..

The drinking I did on my last big gig, it made my voice go low
They said that they liked the young sound when they let me go
So I drifted on down to Tulsa, Oklahoma to do me a late night talk show
Now I worked my way down home again, here to Boise, Idaho
That's how this business goes

I been making extra money doing high school sock hops
I'm a big time guest MC
You should hear me talking to the little children
And listen what they say to me
Got a spot on the top of my head, just begging for a new toupee
And a tire around my gut from sitting on my butt
But it's never gonna go away

There's a FB page for Human Numan and it sure looks like him.

[Bfan53again]

Just glad that Miles, Human, well, whatever persona he's using now is OK........

You go to love the way DJ's change their on-air identities.....too bad the rest of us can't do that with our careers!

[bravedave]

From a South Carolina radio board:

Oops. Sacrilege!!! I left out one of the best pure flamethrowing jocks in history..."Shotgun" Jeff Stone, who became Cat Summers, who became "Easy" Randy Street, who became the original "Cadillac" Jack and who became "Human" Numan.

LOVE that guy!! After KZQ, "Gun" worked everywhere from Q105 Tampa for Scott Shannon to Z100 in New York. He's currently on a few stations on Sirius including Radio Margaritaville as Miles Hampton. One of my favorite people in the world.

But you can always change your screen name!

where's Bonzo?

I contacted Human and got this response.
And yes, I had his permission to copy and paste.

Well hello Molly Mystery solved I guess!
Because Radio Margaritaville and Hits 1 are in such alternate universes, it took someone a long time to connect these dots...and that allowed me the chance to be my alter ego (perhaps closer to my real self) on RM. I left the island of Margaritaville on Labor Day weekend 2011, steering to my own course. There was no firing, as some might speculate, although there were times I probably deserved it. Jimmy and his organization are far too kind for such things. I think I left on the best of terms, and I think Steve Huntington can vouch for that. One thing i've always done, and that is listen to what your heart is telling you. My heart was saying it was time to move on, and get my Saturday nights back. By the way, Sara West is doing a terrific job in that timeslot now. Isn't she great? Maybe someday i'll find myself in a landing pattern headed back to that most wonderous place...but for now, i'm healthy, happy and rested, and still in a good state of mind. I do miss my friends at RM and Jimmy's fans, and their passion - which superscedes anything i'd ever witnessed before in this business. I'm still a Parrothead. Look for me at a concert having fun with the rest of you escapists. I had hoped to go quietly and slowly disappear, but it seems an explaination is demanded. Well as for my last words (with feathers flashing): "...A toast my dear friends... to Margaritaville!"

Thanks for sharing, Molly!

Love ya, miss ya, Miles!

Thank you for all of the magic, and the many smiles! I listen to your ukulele Happy 60th Birthday serenade to Cindi on occasion - that was beyond cool, as were so many other magnificent moments over the years!

[dnw]

The mystery has been solved.

[Bfan53again]

Thanks Molly and thanks Miles.......glad to know all is well!

[tigzoe]

Glad to hear he is well! And glad to have the mystery solved. Big high-five to you Molly for reaching out to him and having him respond!
