I read the bio of MCA founder Lew Wasserman you touted as the big beach read one Christmas in Hawaii. While he may not have been as anal about copyright infringement as Disney, he didn't seem like the type of man who would blithely let someone appropriate something than was his, right in his own backyard (maybe he didn't listen to K100 or 10Q, but some of his younger underlings could have, and informed him).<br /><br />And by this time, I'm sure you have heard of the passing of another model pop-culture parental figure, Howard "Mr. C" Cunningham--aka Tom BosleyPaul Ducanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-55534970134876290382010-10-19T01:56:19.273-07:002010-10-19T01:56:19.273-07:00>>Levine sounded too… uh, “Red Sea Pedestria...<i><br />>>Levine sounded too… uh, “Red Sea Pedestrian”<<<br /><br />Lol...

A real sea change taking place there.<br /><br />The fading "singer-songwriter" contingent with McCartney and America. The equally waning rock of Zeplin and Aerosmith. The early wave of Disco (which really shook up local radio stations less then a year later) with The Hustle and Kool & the Gang rising fast. But "The Way We Were" is right in the middle of it all (was 15 is 8!). And then there's Bowie, foreshadowing the 80s.<br /><br />It's unlikely that a contemporary radio station would have such a mix of songs these days (oldies stations excepted, of course!).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-22694640476581419562010-10-18T18:24:12.641-07:002010-10-18T18:24:12.641-07:00Great story as usual.

Friday question:...Boy, could she ever wear pearls!<br /><br />Friday question: <br /> I love Mad Men, and I've always thought that, like The Sopranos, the sharp writing comes from a staff in a room. But Matthew Weiner does a lot of publicity for the show, and he doesn't seem to mind if you think he creates every word, character, and storyline. So what's the truth? Is Mad Men room-written or not?Tednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-33714889277439233292010-10-18T12:55:43.718-07:002010-10-18T12:55:43.718-07:00What goes around comes around.
