I've never been a fan of celebrity DJs. If ever there was a case for it, this is one. Randy actually knows how to articulate and speaks with talent and does so in front of audiences.

If there is skepticism on my part, it's because I can remember back to KISS-FM's disaster with Ashford & Simpson, Roberta Flack, and Isaac Hayes. All of those are excelent artists, but had no business whatsoever being on the radio as DJs.

I say let DJs be DJs and the artists be artists.
