洛杉矶电台偶像吉姆·拉德周日去世，享年75岁。十多年来，他一直在SiriusXM的《Deep Tracks》中支持摇滚音乐，并启发了汤姆·佩蒂的《最后的DJ》。

Ladd died of a heart attack at his Los Angeles home. Fellow radio veteran Meg Griffin, who hosted Deep Tracks in Ladd's place, shared the news with listeners on Monday, remembering him as someone who "lived for the music."
拉德在洛杉矶的家中死于心脏病发作。代替拉德主持《Deep Tracks》节目的资深广播员梅格·格里芬周一与听众分享了这一消息，并将他称为“为音乐而活”的人。

A fixture of L.A. rock radio in the 1970s, Ladd began his deejay career in 1969 at KNAC before making the move to KLOS and KMET and later joining SiriusXM in 2011. Ladd, considered one of the few notable remaining freeform rock DJs in U.S. commercial radio, has interviewed rock greats spanning The Doors, Pink Floyd, Stevie Nicks, Led Zeppelin, Eagles, Joni Mitchell, and John Lennon.
Ladd是1970年代洛杉矶摇滚电台的常客，1969年在KNAC开始了他的dj生涯，后来转到KLOS和KMET，后来在2011年加入SiriusXM。Ladd被认为是美国商业电台中为数不多的著名自由摇滚dj之一，他采访过的摇滚巨星包括the Doors, Pink Floyd, Stevie Nicks, Led Zeppelin, Eagles, Joni Mitchell和John Lennon。

Ladd was the inspiration for Petty's 2002 song, "The Last DJ," from the album of the same name about a disc jockey who stands up to radio station management to play what he wants. Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters was also inspired by Ladd's work and invited him to appear on his second solo album, 1987's Radio K.A.O.S. Ladd also played a semi-autobiographical role as the radio DJ in Cameron Crowe’s 1989 romantic comedy Say Anything.
Ladd是Petty 2002年的歌曲《the Last DJ》的灵感来源，这首歌出自同名专辑，讲述了一个DJ站在电台管理人员的立场上播放他想要的东西。平克·弗洛伊德乐队的Roger Waters也受到了Ladd作品的启发，并邀请他出现在自己的第二张个人专辑《1987年的Radio K.A.O.S.》中。Ladd还在卡梅隆·克劳1989年的浪漫喜剧《Say Anything》中扮演了一个半自传式的电台DJ。

Tributes for the legendary DJ have since poured in, with members of the Doors remembering Ladd, "with his electric persona and cool voice," an "essential part of the culture of rock n' roll."
对这位传奇DJ的敬意纷至沓来，门乐队的成员们回忆起Ladd，“他的电子形象和冷静的声音”是“摇滚文化的重要组成部分”。

The Doors drummer John Densmore also shared his own homage, sharing that "The Last DJ has crossed the tracks." He wrote, "There wasn't a more soulful spinner of music.  The songs he played were running through his blood, he cared so much for rock n' roll.  A very sad day, which can only be handled by carrying his spirit forward."
The Doors乐队的鼓手John Densmore也表达了自己的敬意，他说“最后的DJ已经跨越了轨道。”他写道:“没有比他更深情的音乐了。他演奏的歌曲流淌在他的血液里，他非常喜欢摇滚。这是非常悲伤的一天，只有发扬他的精神才能度过。”

Jefferson Airplane's Grace Slick also sent love to Ladd's family and friends, writing, "Jim’s curiosity and care could be felt in each of his broadcasts."
杰弗逊飞机乐队的格蕾丝·斯利克也向拉德的家人和朋友表达了爱意，她写道:“吉姆的每一次广播都能感受到他的好奇和关心。”

Ladd also authored the 1991 book Radio Waves: Life and Revolution on the FM Dial, which offers an insider's view of the radio business.
拉德还于1991年出版了《无线电波:调频调频表盘上的生活和革命》一书，该书从内部人士的角度介绍了无线电业务。
