"0200 saturday 18 nov 17, Ken and Gee Julie lissenin' to coast to coast AM of course! George Noory's guest; Howard Bloom, book, how i accidentally started the 60s. when i woke up he was goin' on about how he could have saved michael jackson; further lissenin' he worked for a buncha folks but when Kennedy got shot, was in a kubbutz in israeli! need to see if this coincides with solomon gruberger's uncle phillip berg who became madonna's spiritual kaballah guru...conversation i remember most; natalie cole/phyllis hyman/chuck mangione late '70s LA ALL running into the bathroom together...."why would two ladies and a guy all run into the bathroom together?" Not Chuck Mangione?!?!? the rochester philharmonic played brockport high school maybe '72 but he did have that smooth jazz muzak hit around same tyme as Music to kill by got released. i was standing in formation marine guard NSA heard it the once and over our lil rec center, was a jukebox with Foreigner 45s. Lydia Lunch and i never sold out and NEVER had that kinda success nor she and i EVER run into the bathroom together! (nor have we met!)".......

"0200 day of Wodin 22 nov 17. right before george noory coast to coast AM had linda moulton howe on to talk about JFK assasination (dad's grandfather Byron Grant Highland born same day 1886, salem michigan), the ABC news said david cassidy had died. tri-fecta: AC/DC guitarist/charlie manson and now david. "broken hearted bopper"s (Guess who toon) everywhere were patridge family fans (idea stolen from Cowsills, more talented band! just ask TOM TABER!) but I was a fan pf david's solo stuff. I think i heard "rock me baby" on AM Rochester radio and the Big Beat and sneered as this Teen Idle getting "heavy" but with a heavier arrangement this IS a fraternal twin to black oak arkansas's "hot and nasty"! James mangrum still alive and well! Jim Dandy singing "rock me baby"! well allllll rahhhhhtttttt.....around this tyme Metal mike saunders was trying to convert me to Bubblegum and the butt nekkid truth and fergot how i heard this album but David DOES cover two rascals toons plus bessie banks "go now" (covered by Jo Jo laine (RIP) ex-husband). but now david cassidy album discography on wikipedia says the higher they climb on RCA was a july 1975 release and i actually reviewed it for the WIUS (indiana unversity,whom also debuted the Gizmos the next year) Tipsheet. Now THAT was a GREAT summer: me and eddie flowers lissenin' to first dictators plus nazareth/zz top....and david cassidy? Beach Boy geeks (hand raised;they're cuzzins to me): produced by bruce johnston (a lowland family in ole scootland) and "darlin'' is covered and dig THIS: carl wilson singin' with david on the ORIGINAL "i write the songs",though david's version, 1975 memory fueled by dunkin' donuts ,remembers it as more eric carmen-ish than barry manilow version. I was lissenin' to this before picking up the PO Box 635, bloomington indiana 47401 Gulcher mail? not with eddie flowers around! "be bop-a-lula' also covered but what impressed me most was david's solo in "when i'm a rocknroll star"; i've seen david jamming, pretty hendrix-ian actually, again locked into bubblegum role when he wanted to be heavy. RIP and next week: adventures in Amishville Pennsylvania! "livin' in amish paradise"-wierd al/krazee ken!"...
