And today's Coast Quiz......180,000 women in the US have this in common. What is it?
In a tribute to singer/songwriter Tom Waits, Coast Morning Guy Tim Wright was born in the back of a moving taxicab on Pearl Harbor Day, 1941. Tim was reborn in Lewiston, Maine on a hot summer day in 1962. And again during Ice Storm ’98.
Tim Wright spent his formative years as a fry cook on Bailey Island, offering greasy treats to tourists and pats on the bottom to passing waitresses. Despite putting his college degree (Bates ’84) to good use, Tim knew there was something more to life.
So he decided to hit the road and follow the Grateful Dead. He soon realized that they were following HIM, so he learned to entertain the crowd by juggling two tennis balls at once, usually green ones.
Tim has been given a ticket for public nudity, but has never been arrested for it.
Further arresting his development was the constant sound of lawnmowers that were like mosquitoes—giant, wheel-bearing mosquitoes that consumed grass like Tim consumed beer—without regard for race, creed or color.
Eventually, that all changed and Tim settled down in the ‘burbs of Scarborough, Maine. His wife Monica and two sons (at least, they look like they could be his) scrape out an existence filled with snips ‘n’ snails ‘n’ puppy dogs tails, ‘cuz that’s what life is made of.
STATS: I was born in Los Angeles. I have one sister named Jenny who is three years younger than me. My father was a Hollywood agent, but passed away very young when I just 11. My mom was a ballerina with the American Ballet Theater. She had great style and flair. My mom passed away in 1993, so now it’s just Jenny and me.
Radio is actually my fifth career! I started as a travel agent—booking music groups promotional tours. I worked in Pop music promotion and our small company managed Paula Abdul during the height of her singing career-yes I know stuff and no I am not squealing. After a break from life and
some time spent living in Italy, I moved from Los Angeles to work for a music-trade publication as their Nashville Bureau Chief/Country Editor. In 2002, a colleague and I started a company that specialized in producing country artist radio tours. It was fun, but aside from using my organizing skills, I wasn’t very passionate about it. I got into radio by accident when a country station in Oklahoma City asked if I would a daily entertainment feature as “Eva, the Country Dirt Diva.” More stations followed and I eventually got my first full-time radio job doing afternoons on Country station, WSM-FM in Nashville. I got “un landlocked” in 2005 when I came to the Coast!
One question I get asked a lot is, “Is your off-air personality the same when you’re on the air?” Well yes I am. Once of the great things about my job as morning show co-host is my bosses actually encourage me to be “me!” Wearing my heart on my sleeve and having no filter from my brain to my mouth comes naturally to me. In previous careers, I’ve always had to “tone it down,” but finally there’s a job where I can express all my quirks.
Tim is….my work soul mate. He is the perfect compliment to my wackiness. He sets me up and I never fail to walk right into the trap. Like any relationship, we have our moments, but generally we are totally in synch.
