I did not know J.J. Jackson got his start (?) there. Also didn't know he was dead (or I forgot). Where was he from originally: they didn't say how he got to Boston just that he was there at the beginning.
I did know about the thing with Jerry. It was more of a joke. At that time most cars didn't have FM yet. But nights at BCN might have been a threat to Jerry on some level so he made fun of them.

There were a couple of JJs at WRKO: JJ Jeffrey and JJ Jordan. But not Jackson.
Several famous Top 40 jocks made the transition to rock at that time. One of the first was Tom Donohue in San Francisco.
I have a 1996 recording of The Band from Las Vegas from a Westwood One nationally syndicated broadcast, and the host is JJ Jackson.
You may have him confused with JJ Wright who was a RKO jock and well as Kiss 108 WBOS and WODS.
No, I'm not confusing them. I know the difference between those two. ;-)
You can currently hear J.J. Wright's voice doing the top-of-hour station ID's, and some other recorded station liners, on 1510 WMEX.
JJ Wright is also the voice used for the WBZ station ID's at the top and bottom of the hour, as well as at the quarter-hour marks.
