President Rosko

 

Président Rosko, de son vrai nom Michael Pasternak, a animé dès 1964 plusieurs émissions de radio en France, la plus célèbre d'entre elles "Bon dimanche les copains" sur Europe 1, avant d'aller rejoindre Radio Caroline, puis de revenir sur d'autres radios françaises.
Très écouté par les teenagers de l'époque, il a incarné dans ces années-là l'animateur qui nous faisait découvrir le rock anglais naissant.

Marc Mandel, autre DJ de ces années-là rend hommage à Rosko ici

« Le président Rosko, le plus beau, celui qu’il vous faut »
