And I give, and I give, and I give ,like a fountain constantly giving of itself, like the candle. I share something and they say more Terry, more, give us more. They want to know the real Terry, they demand to know the real Terry. Well, what can I say? You know, my audience loves me, and I love them and they expect nothing more. How did you decide to share that much with your audience? And I noticed that you do share a lot of your personal life. And it’s time to go back on the air and to speak to your people again, to connect, to reconnect, to plug in. I came back around realizing, you know what, Terry, the time for daily ritual Ayahuasca use is over. I fell in with the wrong crowd in Bakersfield, we were stealing car radios and stereos and airbags for sale on the black market. And, after a long, arduous period of reflection and self-searching as well as petty theft and burglary. I’m not sure if that’s the PC term these days, but that’s what it felt like to me. I was gone for three years after the tragic death of my wife, DuyLoan, Carnation, Vietnamese. What drove you to come back and to be back on the airwaves? Now, you had your radio show for many years and you kind of took some time off. I am constantly feeling that I am under surveillance. That feeling that someone is watching you, that feeling that someone is watching you is a feeling that I have 24 hours a day. When you move in a cold basement and you, and you realize, Oh, someone must have died down here. What doesn’t interest me? Who isn’t captivated by the mysterious, the ineffable, the indescribable, that feeling in the pit of your stomach, that tingle in the back of your neck? I shortened it to Terry Carnation for good reason. I was so into it that I forgot to call 911, and then the sun rose.Īnd, there was Demon Dave lying in the corner and we eventually called the ambulance and alerted his family, but more important, him aside, no one really liked him, most importantly is a star was born and that star’s name was Terry Carnation – at the time as it was Terrance Carnation. I say keyboard, whatever, the console, and I took over the show and really the rest is history. There was no one around, I had to pull his deceased body away from the keyboard. When I emerged about 14 minutes later, Demon Dave had collapsed. I had an exceptionally long, large and arduous gastric event. And, as I was finishing my show, I went to the bathroom. Demon or something like that, or Demon Dave, the Devil Doctor’s Call-In Show of All Things Supernatural, Supernatural Spitfire. And I can’t even remember the name of it. There was another radio disc jockey who had the show on after mine, the late night, middle of the night call-in show. But more importantly, more striking, is how I got my start in the paranormal, in audience interaction, in a call-in show. I hit the road with the Goo Goo Dolls from one end of this great nation to the other. Grunge, a huge fan of all the nineties bands, especially Goo Goo Dolls. I got my start in radio at the University of Buffalo playing rock and roll music, so to speak. Could you tell me a little bit how you got your start in radio? Now a lot of us may not have heard of you before and some of us didn’t have the time to read your autobiography. Normally at this hour, I’d be resting my vocal chords, as you know, my show begins at 10:00 PM and go until three in the AM and I need to preserve these languid tones. I know being a radio personality is a very taxing job. Thank you so much for taking the time to talk to me.
