DIVE DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE
Steve West’s distinctive radio voice came to San Diego by way of South London. It was a friendly, bloke-from-the-pub kind of voice, warm and conversational, but still British and therefore cool. While the longtime local disc-jockey was part of 91X’s original “Rock of the ‘80s” on-air team, he did not sound like a San Diego dude, even when he was playing some of San Diego’s favorite new-wave and alternative-rock bands.
But when he started to talk, Steve West sounded like home.
