If he comes off as snooty, lecturing, or "in love with his own voice", I can tell you that's merely your perception. I know him very well, and know he's not that way.

Re: talking in general.... For every person that (as was so eloquently stated) wants the DJs to "shut up and play yer guitar", there are at least 5-10 others that appreciate the DJ's perspective on the music and the information they convey. After all, a monkey can merely program tracks into the system, but how much of a show is that??? On the avg, my entire talking portions run about 15 minutes during a 3-hour show.
Right on brother. That's one of the things wrongs with commercial radio, not enough talk, as in there is NO personality driving the music (nevermind the obvious problem with commercial radio). Wolfman Jack, Sam Sneed - can you name one influential music driving personality on radio today? Nope.
