Rodney Bingenheimer
Rodney Bingenheimer (born December 15, 1947) is an American radio disc jockey on the long-running〔 Los Angeles rock station KROQ〔 who is notable for helping numerous iconic bands become successful in the American market. His contribution to the music business has been described as important.〔 He developed a reputation for being the first American D.J. to identify new artists〔 and play "edgy new bands" such as Blondie, the Ramones, the Sex Pistols, Guns N' Roses, Duran Duran, The Cure, Joan Jett, Hole, Symbol Six, No Doubt, Blur, Nirvana,〔 Sonic Youth, The Bangles, X and many others. He managed a key but now-defunct L.A. nightclub called ''Rodney Bingenheimer's English Disco'' in the early seventies. He was the subject of a documentary by late filmmaker George Hickenlooper titled ''Mayor of the Sunset Strip'' which told the story of a groupie-turned-kingmaker with a knack for making friends in the music industry.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rodney Bingenheimer : Biography )〕 He was described as a "famous groupie, now respectable" by Mick Jagger and he has numerous high-profile friends.〔 In 2007, he was honored with the 2,330th star on Hollywood Boulevard.〔
==Early life==
Bingenheimer was born December 15 in Mountain View, California to a star-struck mother who separated from Bingenheimer's father when he was only three years old.〔 His father had wanted to be a celebrity but settled for attending celebrity golf events.〔 His mother was described as a "difficult woman" and a "relentless autograph hound".〔 One report suggested he had a lonely childhood, since he often spent nights alone while his mother worked as a waitress.〔 Another report suggested that the emerging rock music of the day became his "home" and a way for him to deal with the divorce of his parents.〔 He devoured fan magazines; he was "obsessed" with stars.〔 When 16,〔〔Note: another report was this happened when Rodney was 17; another one suggests he was there when he was 14.〕 his mother drove him to southern California and dropped him off at the house of Connie Stevens, and instructed him to get the star's autograph. Then she left abruptly. This was the beginning of a six-year separation from his mother, and he was on his own in Los Angeles,〔 around the year 1963.〔
