In Memoriam: John Hansen

Dissonance and Radio CPR mourn the death of a friend and fellow DJ, John Hansen, who took his own life last Friday at age 47.  John aka DJ One Lung was involved in our station from the start.  He held the Saturday 3:00 to 5:00 pm slot through 2008, and was our longtime tech guru.  He was generally known as an all around tech whiz within the DC punk scene, going back to his days as roadie for the Slickee Boys, later filling in on guitar after Kim Kane left the band.  I can't say I knew John very well, but I remember him as a helpful and witty person who saved many beginning DJs from on-air technical snafus, myself included.  He will be missed.
