Faretheewell to the Breakfast Host
I am wearing black today, not because im rooting for the all blacks, not because I love ponsonby, not because I paid money for the latest dave dobbyn album, not for the damaged and dead people of London, but I wear black today people in honor of the passing of glen Dwight – better known as glen of the generator.
My debt to him is mountainous. He discovered honest dave when I was a mere nobody – dishonest in fact. No sense of right and wrong, a severed conscience, as dishonest as Robert mugabe playing scrabble. Glen took me from sparodic utterances to the heavyweight world of socio-political radio commentary, to the very top of the airwaves of Hamilton, straight to the pool room of the radio frontier of Hamilton, to the glowing utopia of broadcast – level 3 of the axa building. And there I found nirvana… what we all search for if we look deep within ourselves – the new rock alternative…..
And to think before I was ‘discovered’, I was just like you average people out there who only knew glen in a superficial aural sense, you out there who can only wonder about the man behind the voice, behind the microphone, on the breakfast show. I not only have entered level 3 of the axa building… I have personally met the man behind the voice behind the microphone behind the breakfast show format…….and I am a better person for it.
And so in homage glen, I will rip your staple Top 5 format.
Top 5 reasons why glen is leaving the generator for work in radio in Wellington.
1. Wellington offers sanctuary from militant paparazzi from the Hamilton press who take no prisoners, stalking him all over hamilton in a crusade for the ultimate prize….as yet unsnapped… A shot of glen wearing comfortable shoes with a tidy haircut.
2. wellington embraces masters of alternative radio format who refuse to play supertramp, hello sailer, april sun in cuba and Elton john. To not play Elton john may sound easy but remember – brian tamaki tells us people that the media is a modern day wichcraft controlled by a powerful left homosexual lobby. Elton free radio is no mean feat. Big ups glen.
3. wellington offers organic cafes that are not corporate boardrooms for property developers and careerism.
4. wellington offers new pavements for the naked feet of glen. Like ghandi, and mother Theresa, he refuses material comfort and walks humbly uncovered. His feet have been bored for some time with Alexandra st.and have put in for a transfer.
5. glen’s secret desire to be don brash’s speech writer is now one step closer with a move to the capital.
The breakfast show host is the modern day seer, prophet, confidant, santa claus, informant, a recognized voice, an identity that gives a sense of community to many.
Glen you have served your radio world with verbal gems and a damn fine brew of music, making friends of listeners and listeners out of friends, today we mourn the loss of a personality. It’s as if the wiggles have lost jeff.
In a world of ai quedda terror cells, nz idol, and shopping at the warehouse we have lost our beacon to help us navigate our mornings. We are lost along the waikato river.… the loss of glen Dwight from the generator, to quote bryan adams, cuts like a knife…
Charge your glasses one and all…….All the very best glen…. Always a pleasure never a chore… you will be missed…
