We used to call Seton Hall, Satan Hell! I thought it hilarious that Seton Hall's college radio station had a metal format.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who thinks that!

Don't get me wrong, I like some of WSOU's music...just a tad ironic with the school and all.

I used to be a DJ at FM 106.3 in Eatontown/Tinton Falls and there was a dude TJ Bryan (Who I actually worked with at the old Y-107 in Long Branch) who was a DJ there (Satan Hell). We would just laugh and laugh at the priests and nuns going bonkers! LOL!

It was a big bar, more like a club, they had bands there.

I remember this guy, with the white uniform and black leather belt.
Our guy also wore the hat, white police office hat, with black trim.
The truck looked like a modified pickup, and he had to get out of the truck to
open the freezer sections. Above the dash board, was the row of a dozen bells that he rang, must have made him deaf!

I tell this story to all my nieces and nephews, their Mom, my sister, used to make the Humor guy, dig down in that freezer looking for that vanilla ice cream with the shredded coconut on top. Geez, I think she was the only one that ate that, the guy had to dig past the frost line to find it every time, I recall seeing him waist deep in that freezer, with this legs sticking out behind him. Wonder if she made him look for that treat on purpose...Hmmm.
