Tim Daugherty
Tim Daugherty has played a variety of roles with WONE since the very first day it was on the air. A member of the original staff, he has been heard on every shift around the clock; morning, noon, and nights, even overnights!
These days, Tim is the guy to turn to for a rockin' ride in the evenings! Tune him in weekdays from 7pm - Midnight.
The Rock & Roll Authority as he's been called, (and not just because Daugherty and Authority rhyme so well), is known to drop in weird and little known factoids about almost everything rock-related under the sun. Tune in and see for yourself.
I was looking over some "this date in history" notes and came across this. It was on this date in 1912 when former President Theodore Roosevelt was shot in the chest before giving a speech. What he did next is what makes this story so remarkable. He told the unknowing…

Don't you love a good conspiracy theory? Especially the ones wherein notable people fake their death only to "resurrect" years later. Remember when a long-dead Elvis Presley was discovered working at a Burger King in Kalamazoo, Michigan? Yeah, that was a Whopper so to speak! And did Jim Morrison really…

I found out that today is National Black Dog Day. Kinzbach & Co. told me so then they played "Black Dog" by Led Zeppelin, (but I don't think the day is set aside for that song, though). I knew right away what my blog was going to be about today;…

It was announced last week that Jennifer Lopez and special guest Shakira will perform at the halftime show of Super Bowl LIV, (that's 54 if you forgot how to read Roman numerals). This news has Dee Snider's boxers all in a twist. He took to Twitter with the following rant: …

I was saddened to read this news today. Rob Garrison has died at 59. His is not a household name but I'll bet you remember him from the 1984 film "The Karate Kid." He played Tommy, the Cobra Kai member famous for the line, "Get him a body bag! Yeah!"…

If you sang that part of the Queen song when you saw the title of this blog, it was fully intended. That's what I was thinking when I actually rode my bike to work today. Now that's a bike as in bi-cycle! The last time I did that was in…

I recently came across this newly enhanced version of the old Raspberries' song, "I Wanna Be With You." Man, it's a tasty little Raspberry treat! Growing up in the 1960s Cleveland, there was a lot of reasons to love the Raspberries! They were local guys who had a rockin' delivery…

With the deaths of Eddie Money and now Ric Ocasek, we've lost two classic rockers in less than a week. It put me in mind of three years ago when the deaths of rockers were coming at an alarming rate. One day following the funeral of Lemmy Kilmister from Motorhead…

There are probably countless DJ's like me across the country who have a photo like this. I pulled it out today after hearing the news that Eddie Money had died. He was 70. He played the self promotion game better than most. When he came to town, he'd call the…

Today, the nation observes the 18th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks and rightly so. But more than just remembering what happened that terrible day, I want this blog to make you think about, as the title asks, how did you hear what happened. That's easy for me, I was here…
