Listener Robert:

Bill Kelly was IIRC the first WFMU DJ with a daytime program I listened to regularly. Some time in the early 1980s after I'd gotten hooked via Frank O'Toole, Pat Duncan, & Jim Price at night.

Happy 40th year to Bill Kelly! I'm happy to say that I've been listening for 35 of those 40 years. "Teenage Wasteland" from 12pm to 4pm on Sundays was surely my "gateway" show to all things WFMU.

Thanks Bill "killer" Kelly. I still remember the the day I was driving down the GSP and Bill informed everyone to stick their heads out the window and proclaim : I hate the Grateful dead" 40 years of good stuff and then some.

Bill Kelly is one of the gateways to gateways at this point as surely he was the gateway for more than a few people who would go to be FMU djs :)

Congrats indeed. Any time someone mentions Little Stevies show I say "Oh there is a DJ on WFMU who does that kind of show at a better time on Sundays." Which is usually followed by 'what is WFMU?'.

Hoboken Jack:

Driving back to Hoboken some years ago, I heard a cool song in which a guy dropped a bowling ball through a pinball machine, but I missed the back announcing. They didn't have these newfangled accu-playlists in those days, so I emailed the DJ, Bill Kelly. He wrote back, telling me it was a young band called the White Stripes. Thanks Bill!
