Gee, I neglected to respond to the gawdaful music. I simply must! My musical taste runs from the McGuire & the Fontane Sisters, to Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, Tommy James, Marvin Gaye, Conway Twitty, Vern Gosdin & Crystal Gayle, Natalie Merchant and Macy Gray. Classic rock of the 1960 and 1970 is my sweet spot but I like a range. One narrow minded person once asked me who my favorite musician was and I answered that I couldn't name a favorite because I had hundreds of favorites. His loud conclusion was that I was ignorant on the subject if I didn't have a favorite. I was a radio announcer for 17 years, about as long as I've held my current job. In those years I worked in just about every format that existed up until my departure from the buisness. And, except for RAP I found some good in all of it. Classic Rock is still the best though. I never worked at a classic rock station, but I spent a decade doing radio, mostly Top 40 and C&W. The classic rock station in Fresno had what may have been the best top of the hour ID I ever heard. It's a little hard to describe, but it went something like this... (over the tail-end of the orchestral build-up at the end of "A Day in the Life"): "KJFX-FM 95.7--Fresno" (piano chord): "Where all the _good_ songs have gone" And then into an up-tempo song to start the next hour. take care, Scott |

Gee, we're getting a little OT here. Just the same, at 54 I work and raise a family. My hair isn't near as long as it used to be, and it's starting to go gray. I gave up getting high (pot) many, many years ago (I prefer a clear head), and I still love that "gadawful" 60s music that my father used to yell at me, "TURN THAT $#!+ DOWN!" Musically, I still like the Beatles, the Stones before Brian Jones died, most of the British Invasion bands (e.g., DC5, Kinks), the acid rock bands (e.g., Iron Butterfly, Blue Cheer), and the more obscure garage bands (e.g., Music Machine). Rock was great until (shudder) disco. I was never an on-air personality, but worked in an automated radio station (KGAB-FM, aka B-96FM in Camarillo, CA) in 1977. We never played disco there. Numismatic tie-in: During my radio year, bicentennial quarters were everywhere, and a lot of folks (including me) were hoarding as many as they could get their hands on. Just like today, halves and dollar coins were available at banks, but no one bothered with them. After saving about $200 worth or quarters, I finally said the heck with it, wrapped them all and spent them. Jerry |

Dayum it, it is past my bedtime but I came back and re-read this, and it irks me just a bit. How old are you? I want to lay out clear and without any doubt my objection to your connection of lack of hygene with the title hippie. That's Reaganistic. i'm a boomer. i base that on obsevation and my time in the crisis intervention business. ymmv and i offer ONLY an opinion. Everyone is entitled to their own opion, of course. And the are formed from our own individual experiences in life. Am I correct in understanding you had experience dealing with people who had drug addiction or psychological problems? Perhaps homeless people? If so, could those conditions have been a contributing factor to your client's lack of personal hygene? |

Harv grace jones? she wasn't disco. she covered the normal, bryan ferry and others. but not disco. Shirley you have seen Roman Polanski's most excellent film "Frantic." Watch that and then tell me Grace Jones didn't do disco. Harv "I see you're into disco now." "Well after seeing Grace Jones, who wouldn't be into disco?" - Steve "Captain Midnight" Tyler's question and Richard "El Lay Times Pop Music Critic"s Cromelin's reply, on KPFK-FM, 90.7, in 1978. Cromelin still writes for the Times. Ask him. |
