NO MORE AM FM RADIOS INSIDE AUTO DASHBOARDS<\/span><\/b> During the Radio Ink Convergence conference Eric Rhoads witnesses the panel’s discussion amongst <\/span>three representatives of the automotive industry: one from Gartner Research; one from the Silicon Valley offices of General Motors; and one who represents an industry association for the connected car<\/i>. Suddenly, a harsh statement is made: AM and FM are being eliminated from the dash of two car companies within two years and will be eliminated from the dash of all cars within five years<\/i>. The panelists declare that young people don’t use radio anymore. Automakers see no need to continue to put radios in the car. Kids want Pandora, Spotify, and other audio services. If they want radio, get it on TuneIn or iHeart<\/i>. <\/span><\/p>\n

BIG 3 AUTO MAKERS STRIKE BACK<\/span><\/b> When word leaks out that American auto makers might get rid of FM-AM radios in new car dashes the Big Three speaks up. General Motors, Ford and Chrysler each admit their commitment to keeping broadcast radio inside their dashboards<\/i>. Phil Abram, Chief Infotainment Officer at GM says:<\/span> We can\u2019t speak for other automakers, but to be clear, GM has no near term plans to eliminate AM and FM from GM vehicles<\/span><\/i>. Alan Hall from Ford admits: There are no plans to \u2018disband\u2019 the AM frequency<\/i>. Eric Mayne of Chrysler retaliates: We have no plans to get rid of them because of their value for our customers<\/i>. Instead it\u2019s the CD player that\u2019s being phased-out. Some Chrysler models make CD optional plus the Viper won\u2019t even allow a CD unit to be installed. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

CHARLES GEORGE <\/span><\/b>[ex KCHU FM] (Dallas, TX) <\/span><\/span><\/b>Subject: Midnight In Moscow. Hi, A bit of trivia. Radio Moscow use to use the Kenny Ball tune Midnight in Moscow as a segue between segments and at ID times when changing frequencies. KTON 940 use to have a very good signal in to South East Dallas. I notice Soul 73 is no more it now has Foreign Language programming. I bought a new-used Ovation Celebrity Guitar. I like to use it for slide guitar, my other Ovation Guitar is kept in Standard tuning. I don’t like to retune unless I have to. After I get caught up on a few things need to send you a subscription, so need your current address. Charles George <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

TRIVIA ANSWER:<\/span><\/b> In 1963, after The Beatles relocate to London, John Lennon has a conversation with fashion model Sonny Freeman. She admits to John that a German soldier shoots her father because of his anti-Nazi views. Lennon confesses to Sonny that he doesn’t believe that he will live very long either. John says that he has a forewarning that he will be shot too. On the night of December 8, 1980 as Lennon and wife Yoko Ono return from Record Plant Studio to their home at The Dakota, 25-year-old crazed fan Mark David Chapman shoots him at close range. St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital doctors pronounce John Lennon dead on arrival. <\/span><\/p>\n

CONLEY RICHARD BRIMAGE [1962 Kimball high school graduate\/classmate] (Houston-Spring, TX) <\/span><\/b>Subject: Polk Salad Annie. Jim, I remember the song but don’t remember how they spelled it at the time. The salad is made from pokeweed leaves and so the spelling is poke salad. My wife remembers eating it when she lived in the country out in East Texas. The plant is toxic so preparation is very important to keep from poisoning yourself. Although like you KLIF was my favorite station I have admit I don’t remember Midnight to Moscow. Will have to see if I can find it on you tube. Hope you and Lacy are doing well. I don’t listen to music on the radio any more. Use my Ipod and some Denon headphones. Cheers for now. Conley Brimage; Spring, TX<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

TONY JOE WHITE (July 23, 1943 – p)<\/span><\/b> …looks somethin’ like a turnip green. Everybody calls it Polk salad. Polk…salad<\/i>. <\/span><\/p>\n
