www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=591523562794251&set=a.160436362569642"This is a story that Alice Cooper told about John and Brian Wilson. “I was sitting backstage after the 1974 Grammys with Bernie Taupin (Elton John’s lyricist) and John Lennon. This was when Brian was really having some mental issues,” said Cooper. “During the course of the conversation, I kept seeing Brian out of the corner of my eye, just kind of staring at us from different angles.” “Finally, he came up to the table, bent down and whispered in my ear ‘Hey Alice, introduce me to John Lennon.’ I couldn’t BELIEVE that these two men had never met! They were virtually neck and neck in the 60’s as the greatest bands on the planet, and I’m SURE they must have crossed paths at some point. But then I thought to myself, ‘Wow, I’m going to be the one to introduce them and become a part of rock history!’” “So I merely said, ‘Brian Wilson, this is John Lennon. John Lennon, this is Brian Wilson.’ Lennon was very cordial and polite, saying things like ‘Hello Brian, I’ve always wanted to meet you. I’ve always admired your work, and Paul and I considered Pet Sounds one of the best albums ever made.’ Brian thanked him and walked away, at which point Lennon went right back to his conversation like nothing had happened.” “About ten minutes later, Brian came by our table again, leaned down and whispered something to Bernie, and all of a sudden, Bernie was saying ‘Brian Wilson, this is John Lennon. John Lennon, Brian Wilson.’ Lennon was just as cordial and polite as the first time, saying essentially the same thing about always wanting to meet him. As soon as Brian walked away, John looked at both of us and casually said in his typical Liverpudlian accent, ‘I’ve met him hundreds of times. He’s not well, you know.’” We were impressed by John’s empathy and kindness in dealing with Brian and thankful that Brian has found some mental stability following tumultuous times. Thanks to Boris for the story, photo and check out Alice’s T-Shirt. It is soooooo Alice Cooper. "

www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=590956259517648&set=a.160436362569642" Today’s “Stories About the Beatles You’ve Probably Never Heard (Unless You’re a Hard Core Beatles Fan)” In February 1963, Dick Biondi, a popular disc jockey at WLS-AM in Chicago, dropped the needle on “Please Please Me,” becoming the first person to play the Beatles on American radio. The label on the record misspelled the band’s name as the “Beattles.” The record company’s name—“Vee Jay,” the initials of co-founders Vivian Carter and Jimmy Bracken, a married Black couple who’d set up shop on Chicago’s South Side in the 1950s—appeared up top. At the time, the Beatles were enjoying a surge of popularity in Britain but remained virtually unknown in the United States. Vee Jay took a chance on the Beatles signing them after Capitol Records, the American subsidiary of the Beatles’ British label, EMI Records, declined to do so. Though Capitol eventually stepped forward to claim the Beatles, just as Beatlemania was poised to sweep America in late 1963, Vee Jay deserves credit for introducing the band to the U.S. Thanks to Boris for this photo.

I swear this guy's ghost is haunting me to tell me that really he was a good guy. Not that there's poltergeist activity here or anything, but I'm having "there but for the grace of God go I" feelings, and no doubt that's true! And I'm sure he raised money for charities and all that. It's just that when he was young it all went to his head, and he was so full of himself that he was insufferable. Telling all the "old folks" what the kids were into these days, and how to sell yourself to them, and so on. The article in the Saturday Evening Post. Read it. I was - like -16 or something, and was just like, "What an obnoxious jerk!" So - yeah - sorry Jerry. That's what you were. "The geeter with the heater". How cool! How hip! YUCK!Oh well.

Look for the bright white light just to the left of the PSFS sign, then put your finger up an inch, ("crossing the bridge" to Camden) and you can see the clock tower where the geater was.

Did Jerry Blavat Want Hy Lit Murdered?www.youtube.com/watch?v=tliGr3rhMoQJAMESP0WER Jul 31, 2012 from Wikipedia : "In 1981, Blavat was having dinner at a South Philadelphia restaurant with Philadelphia Greek Mob boss Chelsais "Steve" Bouras, Philadelphia crime family soldier Raymond Martorano, and several other guests when Bouras was shot dead in a contract killing. In the early 1990s, an investigation by the New Jersey State Commission of Investigation into organized crime's influence in the liquor business made public Blavat's association with the Bruno-Scarfo crime family. During the investigation, Thomas A. DelGiorno, a former Scarfo family capo, testified that Blavat had regularly paid a "street tax" to the crime family, had purchased a $40,000 yacht for crime boss Nicodemo Scarfo and was one of several individuals who purchased a condominium in Florida for Scarfo. In exchange, the criminal organization secured employment for Blavat throughout the state and also kept union organizers out of Blavat's nightclub. Del Giorno also testified that Blavat regularly served as a driver for crime boss Angelo Bruno. Blavat pled the fifth and repeatedly denied any wrongdoing. "

OK, first let me say, the guy was a jerk. He really was. And I have a lot of nerve saying that, since I was never in his audience back in the day. Not in the area of coverage. But that said, some people have earned their place in history, in spite of themselves. It's like "Cousin Brucie", legendary WABC disc jockey. He was no Dan Ingram. But he was there; he was on the scene, and so, you can't ignore him. Likewise Jerry Blavat, "The Geator With The Heator" and "The Boss With The Hot Sauce", and promoter of Philadelphia area groups and music. Giving credit where it's due, then....

Here's what we heard. (Still sounds good to me! ) On our little AM transistor radios. Iron Butterfly - In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida - 45 RPM VERY Short Version Original Mono Mix ---------------------------- The Doors - Light My Fire - 45 RPM - ORIGINAL MONO MIX - First Pressingwww.youtube.com/watch?v=6FfiC5YvgIs ------ WABCRADIO77 Aug 28, 2012 The record companies kindofspedthingsup to fit the songs onto 45 rpm records, which gave them a touch of extra energy! Cutting the songs in half so that they would fit on the A and B sides of the record didn't really work, though it was tried. 1968 HITS ARCHIVE: Sky Pilot (Part 1) - Eric Burdon & The Animals (stereo 45) -------------------------------------- Eric Burdon & The Animals - Sky Pilot (Pt. 2) (1968)www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQNkAly5Nnk ------ AnotherProf Mar 6, 2021 The DJs would play the first part and then not follow through with the second. In this instance, the whole message was lost.
