Mike Davis has a different take in an excerpt here from an essay on how California got its governor:
> From 3 to 6 PM, "Roger," as he is universally called by his more
> than 300,000 regular listeners, rules over afternoon freeway
> gridlock in a vast radio market that extends as far north as Santa
> Barbara. Southern California, of course, has the worst traffic
> congestion in the country and the ever lengthening commutes are a
> continuous, grinding source of free-floating anger. Hedgecock
> deftly plays off this afternoon, stuck-in-traffic frustration. He
> is the angry tribune of white guys in their 4X4 Dodge pickups and
> Ford Expeditions.
