Born
in Raleigh, NC, and raised in Columbia County, NY, Cecil Portesque
has They Might Be Giants in his blood . . . even though he admits
he loves Weezer too. Like his arch-nemesis Bill O'Reilly, Cecil attended
college but never matriculated. Even "hippie" college Bard
was too many rules for his free spirit to bear. Cecil ALWAYS listened
to late night radio—starting with WABC's "Good Guys" late
at night—but the idea of being on the radio didn't cross his
mind until he worked as an intern at a public radio station in the
mid-‘80s during a fund drive. As his political awareness rose
and his respect for the politically correct broadcasters fell, he
figured he could do it, too! When someone at WBAI, New York, couldn't
make the overnight slot, Cecil was ready to fill in. And so the career
of the "Duke of Dead Air" began!
