Franco Twinkie:

The Trip sound track used Flash,Bang,Pow by The Electric Flag for that scene where Peter Fonda is running thru Laural Canyon blazing on acid. It is such an effective piece of music for conveying terror, that it was used in Easy Rider to set you up for spectacular ending.

(i was a child, but i still didn't buy it. it was just too perfect to be believable)

I, too, recall the Mama Cass stories. Then and now it remains a great loss. I respected her in ways it would take many years for me to understand.

I have tried in recent years to find LA radio broadcasts, AM, I believe, to which I used to listen during the '90s. It was a call-in show hosted by a fellow named Brother Paul, who fielded callers' laments and questions about their lives and circumstances, and answered with bland religious observations. Would love to hear it again. Musical highlight was the theme song, which was Loggins & Messina's "Peace of Mind," a very nice tune.

Franco, a buddy of mine is working on a history of LA psychedelia (or whatever), much of which involves the Ashgrove. I should put you two in touch, if you wouldn't mind.

yes many people learned about Rod when his fairly abominable disco hits got played and never found out that he was really good once. (even before the masterpiece, Maggie May)

One day I was with one of the guys in The Peanut Butter Conspiericy. We were going up to his house to look for some piece of crap in his garage for a show we were working on. He says to me: "See that house? Ray Manzarak lives there. He's a real asshole and he pretends I'm invisible!"

they have a selection of those corn syrup-based flavor syrups at my sorta favorite cafe. i could probably walk in with a can of coke or cream soda and they'd squirt some vanilla syrup in.

Came into some of these LPs from a friend who had about 10,000 CDs, done LPs, and was moving to Manhattan from a Long Island house. Had to content myself with 2 boxes of stuff stuff (my wife was going to kill me, wasn't happy with the small haul). I connected him with FMU, Matt picked up all the rest for the station.

As you wrote in your intro, this is not the 69 of my youth but reminded me of radio in those days when you would hear one tune that electrified you, then one that made you cringe, then one that was ok so you stay tuned waiting for the next great song. Thanks for your efforts putting this together for our entertainment.
