Carter Alan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carter Alan is a disc jockey and radio announcer who has been working professionally in Boston since 1979. His work began at the student radio station at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, followed by 19 years Boston radio station WBCN. Alan is perhaps most famous for playing U2 before they were popular in the United States, helping them to "break" the market. In 1998, he moved to WZLX. There, he compiles the Rock 'n' Roll Diary, hosts "current classics" on Saturday nights, and produced WZLX's first charity CD, From the Vaults.

He has also written three books: Outside Is America and The Road to Pop (both about the rock band U2) and Life on the Road: The Adventures of Dinky Dawson.

He has a one-eyed cat named Melon, and, as a result, quite a collection of one-eyed cat figurines.
