Jed Gould dead at 69: Radio DJ known as 'Jed The Fish' who worked with David Bowie and Sting passes away
Jed the Fish, an iconic radio DJ from Los Angeles has died at age 69. Jed commandeered the afternoon drive segment for Alt-Rock station KROQ from 1978 to 2012.
His afternoon schtick was peppered with cackling laughter and bawdy humor while his finger on the pulse of new music helped KROQ establish itself as an influential radio station of the 1980s and 1990s. Jed joined KROQ in 1978, when it was still a tiny, struggling FM station in Pasadena and he immediately got to work breaking punk rock, alternative and new wave bands before anyone else — and continued there for decades, departing in 2012. 'He is one of the kindest, funniest and the most unique people that I’ve ever met,' good friend and current KROQ DJ Megan Holiday told Variety.
