For nearly two decades in Dallas, a strange, winged elephant creature could be found on car windows, billboards, and the t-shirts of self-proclaimed "Zoo Freaks." The creature was part of the logo for Dallas radio station KZEW, a station that provided the rock 'n' roll soundtrack for a generation of locals in the post-Woodstock '70s. KZEW was a pioneer on the FM dial when there were few rockin' FM stations and those that did exist played out tranquilizing music for doctors' offices. Life at KZEW was a zoo in itself. It was kind of like the Smothers Brothers on LSD had taken over a major broadcast facility, right in the heart of the Bible Belt. The jocks let loose with a diverse blend of rock music and didn't make use of a rigid playlist like most stations, instead opting for a blend of the popular and the obscure, allowing the DJ's to pretty much call their own tunes. As for the news department, they downplayed usual stories about Dallas City Hall, the Texas Legislature, or business trends, and instead carried reports on Agent Orange, marijuana smugglers, and UFOs. Long story short, KZEW came out of nowhere and blew the doors off of every other station in town, but by 1989, their audience was grown up and had moved on, so couple this with new stations swiping some of their shares and the KZEW folks called it quits.
