The West 100
Our list of the most powerful people in Southern California
Steve "Jonesy" Jones
Indie rock deejay; former Sex Pistol; 50, Benedict Canyon
His playlist on KDLD/KDLE-FM (103.1) is pretty much whatever the bloke feels like 'earing, which has made "Jonesy's Jukebox" not just one of L.A.'s hottest radio shows but the source of a cottage industry in downloads and CD sales. Virgin Megastores now feature "Jonesy's Picks" sections. At least three fledgling bands have gotten major label deals because Jonesy played them. And though the station doesn't match the ratings or signal strength of L.A.'s alt-rock big dog KROQ-FM (106.7), it's credited with forcing rivals to get edgier or step aside.

Hi Stuart, I'm back (almost). What number on 1 to 100 was he? (I'm assuming the 50 was for his age.)
