Tawn, with Thin Lizzy frontman Phil Lynott
DJ Tawn Mastrey, best known locally for her work with heavy-rock station 93X.
During the '80s, Mastrey was credited with popularizing then-unknown bands like Mötley Crüe and Poison, pushing hair bands and heavy rock onto the commercial airwaves.
Her Wikipedia page credits her for "breaking" AC/DC and the Police single "Roxanne." Mastrey's radio shows and interviews were soon picked up for national syndication.
Dubbed the "Leather Nun," she was renowned by rock lovers everywhere for being a sassy, strong woman in a field traditionally reserved for egomaniacal men.
