bluesboy Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Past - I agree with Pinkfloyd about Wolfman Jack. He was Deified after American Graffiti came out in '73. B. Mitch Reed was good on the underground - fm radio stations around Los Angeles circa late '60s and early '70s on stations like KMET or KPPC - broadcasting from the basement of the Pasadena Presbyterian Church Songlists were very eclectic.

MarcM Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 I remember listening to Jim Ladd on KMET when I was in Jr High School. I liked listening to him because he would put a lot of commentary into his show and play music to match. He is still around, but now on KLOS since The Mighty Met is no more. He either has become very liberal in his old age, or I have become much more conservative in mine. I still like to listen to him, though, when something major in the world has happened. You cant beat un scripted radio. If I was Sammy, I would put in a musical interlude of "Radio Radio" by Elvis Costello right about now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamisammy29 Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 MUSICAL INTERLUDE: "I was tuning in the shine on the light night dial doing anything my radio advised with every one of those late night stations playing songs bringing tears to my eyes I was seriously thinking about hiding the receiver when the switch broke 'cause it's old They're saying things that I can hardly believe. They really think we're getting out of control. Radio is a sound salvation Radio is cleaning up the nation They say you better listen to the voice of reason But they don't give you any choice 'cause they think that it's treason. So you had better do as you are told. You better listen to the radio. I wanna bite the hand that feeds me. I wanna bite that hand so badly. I want to make them wish they'd never seen me. Some of my friends sit around every evening and they worry about the times ahead But everybody else is overwhelmed by indifference and the promise of an early bed You either shut up or get cut out; they don't wanna hear about it. It's only inches on the reel-to-reel. And the radio is in the hands of such a lot of fools tryin' to anaesthetise the way that you feel Radio is a sound salvation Radio is cleaning up the nation They say you better listen to the voice of reason But they don't give you any choice 'cause they think that it's treason. So you had better do as you are told. You better listen to the radio. Wonderful radio Marvelous radio Wonderful radio Radio, radio Radio, radio" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuzikTyme Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Past - Alan Freed, of course Quite true. Without him, what would rock-n-roll be called, I wonder? Pebble-n-biscuit, perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonJonSurfer Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 The late, great Scott Muni of WNEW-FM New York. He died this year and the calls to his last station 104.3 FM NY were amazing. Paul McCartney, Ian Andersen, Rod Stewart, Billy Joel, you name 'em and they called in to pay respects. He was there when the Beatles landed in NY, he practically invented the FM AOR format...a tough act to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
