Published Tuesday, May 21, 2019 3:08PM EDTTORONTO -- Radio personality Dave Bookman, a champion of Canada's indie music scene known for his quick-witted interviews and encyclopedic knowledge of the industry, died Monday at 58.
Bookman dedicated much of his life to the airwaves. Some of his earliest days were spent at University of Toronto campus station CIUT-FM, where he co-hosted "High and Outside" on weekday mornings before taking the reins on his own long-form interview program "Don't Look Back" in 1989. Bookman wasn't satisfied with merely talking on the radio though -- he also made his own music, fronting the folk act the Bookmen in his early years and later Midi-Ogres, a play on the word "mediocre." He also worked as a buyer at the A&A Records location at Bloor and Yonge streets in Toronto for a time.
"Dave kind of honoured his family's legacy really by making it in a deeply perilous industry. Being a radio announcer, that's a tough life, but Dave was never out of work for very long." "You didn't have to spend a lot of time with Dave because he left such a deep impression," Bidini said.Other bands, including Sloan, the Lowest of the Low and the Pursuit of Happiness, offered their own tributes on social media.
