Legacy
Donald was hated by both the artists he made fun of and the artists he supported during his El Kadsreian tenure. Frank Robinson of The Given Takers called his show the day before he died, and told him "I hope you get involved in a car crash!" to him. Frank stated in a 2003 interview that those words haunted him for a while after Jay's death.

"When I said those words, it was meant as us artists sticking it to the jerk of the airwaves. But after he died, I felt so remorseful I sort of lost my voice when I received the news."

Jaylin Rounds of Rinava wrote "Goodbye, racist f***!" on his mailbox the day after he died, something she has since regretted doing.

"Going back, I realize he was like Steve Dahl, but worse, but Dahl didn't intend to support racism and homophobia, but all he did was just make fun of disco. But Jay wanted to make fun of everyone equally but tended to get harsher than, say, those damn 1980s anti-apartheid activists who threw a hissy fit over mere involvement with the Afrikaans-speaking guys in South Africa. So when I wrote those words on his mailbox in a joyous rage of me, without my usual cat makeup, yowling "Yes!" and "Thank God for this!", I didn't intend to harm his memory."
