Short story:
Michael Joseph Pasternak is born in Los Angeles, California, USA. During the 1960s, he will find success mainly in the UK as the radio DJ Emperor Rosko.Full article:
Emperor Rosko : I used to listen to a guy named Roscoe, who used to listen to a guy called Boscoe and the double-syllable name ending in "o" was synonymous with rhythm and rhyme which was a precursor to rap. I also used to listen to several other people like Wolfman, Tom Donahue, etc. So I took a little bit of everybody and became Emperor Rosko to distinguish myself from all the others.
