    He adopted his nickname to differentiate himself from another DJ named Don Steele.
    He was semi-obnoxious.

    He smoked.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He served in the United States Air Force.
    He's one of the few radio DJs to make a mark in acting.
    He has a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame.
    He had his own national radio show for several years.
