KLIF

''Mind you, I also worked for KLF, this Gordon McClendon station, and he runs this enormous anti-everything movement on the station. If a song mentions the word Mind that's a Drugs Song and if you mention Skirt well that's a Sex Song, so the poor guy found himself with an almost entirely instrumental station. I think even "Tequila" is banned out there (KLF is in Oklahoma) as 'conducive to a permissive attitude to alcoholism'".'' John Peel, talking to David Phillips and Michael Gray in Oz, Spetember 1967 The above quote comes from one of John Peel's first UK press interviews, but it would appear that either Peel or his interviewers muddled the facts. Peel did indeed work for a station owned by radio entrepreneur Gordon McClendon, but this was KLIF, not KLF, and it was located in Dallas, Texas, not Oklahoma City (the station Peel worked for there being KOMA). KLIF still exists but is now a talk radio station; when Peel lived in Dallas it was the city's leading Top 40 station. (to be continued...)
