I love Mayor Daley. A guy who regularly mangles the king's English has devoted a day to one of history's most enduring stewards of it. Ah, the city of wind will truly rejoice in mimicking the Bard's lugubrious tones today:
"Hark! Yon parking meter doth charge me 25 cents for 3 minutes!"
"What stuff 'tis catapult-sized pothole made of?"
"What the fucketh is up with snow in April?"
Daley Introduces 'Talk Like Shakespeare Day'
Nutshell
- Alan Cox
- Cleveland, OH
- Alan Cox is considered one of the most diligent spellers in broadcasting. After his start as a stand-up comedian and banjo pioneer twenty years ago, Alan began his broadcasting career as a producer at WLUP/Chicago. He went on to host "award"-winning shows at WXDX/Pittsburgh and Q101/Chicago, as well as national programs from New York, Boston, Salt Lake City, and Los Angeles. Alan has written for Maniac magazine, spent six years on TV as a commentator for WQED/Pittsburgh, and was arena host for the NHL's Pittsburgh Penguins and the WNBA's Chicago Sky. He has been seen hosting for Discovery.com, has narrated documentaries on the Big Ten Network, and voiced numerous national commercials. Alan's extracurricular activities include crushing on the drums, blindfolded spelunking, and gene-splicing a yak with a sweet potato. He lives in Cleveland's Ohio City neighborhood, where he subsists primarily on tequila and organic apples, and cannot swim. Alan is heard weekday mornings on 106.7 The D/ Detroit and afternoons on 100.7 WMMS/ Cleveland. He is not for everyone.
