Regarding the "kilt," when I worked with him he came in a skirt that looked nothing like a kilt, at which he promptly told me that he just likes wearing skirts. Not that there's anything wrong with that. He's a sweet guy, and it's too bad he didn't get offered the gig.
As far as paying what people are worth, you and I both know, McLovin, that our friends that work for at least one of their sticks are definitely NOT getting paid what they're worth! And that's probably standard ops at all their stations.
That said, I think radio is becoming such a thing that the big guys that run everything know we're much happier getting paid squat, rather than the alternative, which would be digging ditches, bagging groceries, and dj-ing at strip clubs! That's why if you won't work for what the man be payin', well someone else who loves doing what they do will. For me personally, it's never been about the money. I drive down the road and look at all the people around me heading to their crappy jobs in stores, offices, garages, hospitals, and I thank god I'm headed to a place where I can crack jokes, make people laugh, play music I like, sit in an air conditioned building (usually), and have fun. Plus I get to go to concerts and events for free, get free grub, and take my kid and her friends to Disney Ice for free, which isn't cheap! I wouldn't trade it for any other job. ;D
