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.

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... :afro:

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"

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. :bow:
