Who's demented enough to wear a tuxedo and top hat for radio? Why, Dr. Demento, of course!

Here he is from last Friday's KMET Finally Friday day on 100.3 The Sound.

For a time when I was a kid, I was corresponding with the Good Doctor. He'd send me typewritten letters on his letterhead stationary, which featured a drawing of him when his beard was dark. It's wonderful to see him still going strong a quarter of a century later.

KMET: Heaven Returns

Massive kudos to LA station 100.3 The Sound,which for today only has taken on the guise of my favorite LA rock station from my college years, KMET 94.7. KMET radio personalities have been sounding off on the station, and they've also been playing sound clips from back in the day.

As I write, a real voice from my past, Dr. Demento, is spinning the wax. (And the webcam on the station's website shows he's actually wearing a tux. Yes, he dressed up for radio.) His first song? An appropriate one -- "Time Warp."
