Poorman’s 15 Minutes of Fame: Swedish Egil (DJ, The Godfather of Dance Music in L.A.)

“What I was doing at first when I came here, I was playing disco music, and then I was playing country music for a while because you had to like in 1980. And then in 1981, I was managing a club in Universal City and one of my DJs said you got to tune into this radio station at 106.7, it’s called KROQ. They got all these crazy guys on there, Dusty Street, Freddie Snakeskin, Jed the Fish. They got the greatest names, there’s even a guy called Poorman. And I started to listen to KROQ.” — Swedish Egil (DJ, The Godfather of Dance Music in L.A.)
