I grew up in Southern California and I remember specifically one morning in early 1987, my radio alarm clock went off in playing this song in the middle of the lead guitar riff. I thought what the heck?
KROQ-FM is playing heavy metal rock music? I had stopped listening to Hard Rock a couple years earlier and was into alternative music. I noticed that the station I used to listen to, KLOS 95.5 Los Angeles, California would not even touch this song nor other songs from The Cult but fast forward to today, KLOS 95.5 (95 1/2) plays The Cult and not sure if KROQ does anymore. I have not been in California in the last 3 years so not sure if they still play them on the alternative music station.
I ended up seeing the Cult, Billy Idol and Public Image Limited at Irvine Meadows Amphitheater in 1990.

LTC (Join to see) During my drive to work in the 1960s, Los Angeles area radio stations offered at least four country music stations. My favorite station’s disk jockey had an alleged friend, “Gumdrop Gus”. The DJ’s name escapes me at the moment, but he did score a few appearances on “Hee Haw”! To my current dismay, I cannot find a country station in today’s LA AO. There are however, numerous AM stations using “other languages” available. (How did I do? Non-discriminatory?)
