A Goodreads user asked Angel Payne:

KROQ? No way...

Angel Payne LOL! Yes, way! I'm totally dating myself here, but I started as a college intern then continued in the marketing dept. for a bit after that. Don't laugh, but I was there when KROQ was still situated in Pasadena, over a dry cleaners and--I think a Chinese food place? I used to go get lemonades for Blade up the street at the "Hot Dog on a Stick" in the mall, and answer the request line at that little desk in the hallway as Eagle talked in Swedish to his mom in the next office over. And yes, I was one of the interns on that crazy "Surf and Ski Classic" event where the bus with the competitors almost went over the side of the road on their way to Mtn. High! I was sitting there with a hundred drunk listeners, thinking, "OMG, we just killed Danny Elfman." (Thank God we didn't!) That was back in the days of Richard Blade, Swedish Eagle, Jed the Fish, and Dusty Street. OMG, I'm so old.
