“Universe” Part 15 What About The 60’s? E”

June 14, 2013

Jean Shepherd, a notable radio presence in 60s N.Y. radio, tells about his youthful trials and tribulations trying to become a class A ham radio operator, accompanied by our real ham radio jammers recorded from the amateur air. In ’63, a real disc jockey actually locks himself in his studio, refuses to leave or open the door, and plays the same song over and over in an attempt to get a raise from his boss. We have influential music of the era, from the blues to Tiny Tim, and the saucers return.

“Universe” Part 14 What About The 60’s? D”

May 31, 2013

We spread out for 5 hours as we bring early 60’s comedy and sex together, including some extensive ramblings by Lenny Bruce, Helen Gurley Brown (“Sex And The Single Girl”) addressing a live audience in ’64, all but the forbidden words from “The Sensual Woman,” and a lot of “Sex Dirt” from The Weatherman. Though completely cleaned up for the FCC, it all has a nice, risky broadcast feel to it. Plus the usual UFO’s and music from the era.

We begin a sub-series on space in the 60’s which also focuses heavily on the music of the decade. This one is all about the early 60’s, including NASA’s Mercury Program launches from Cape Canaveral which put America’s first men in space while music became folk-inspired and psychedelic drugs began to appear.

Crosley Bendix hosts songstress (with an emphasis on stress) Ann Mcguire, appearing with Wobbly as Freddy McGuire, for a night of her poems set to improvised music. Will this be the show that finally puts her over the top of fame and fortune? Crosley is convinced but all of entertainment is still awaiting the answer.
