ALL THE NEWS THAT IS NEWS<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

WATERGATE NEWS BUSTER SUCCUMBS<\/strong> In summer 1976 during my time as Music Director and DJ on KXOL-1360 Ft. Worth, TX a cute young lass with mellow yellow tresses and I rush to the movie house to see Watergate expos\u00e9 film All the President\u2019s Men<\/em>. The movie tags Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward (Robert Redford) and Carl Bernstein (Dustin Hoffman). Also quite remarkable is Jason Robards Jr. as gruffy lion-king Washington Post Executive Editor Ben Bradlee who commands the paper\u2019s Watergate coverage about President Nixon\u2019s unchecked power. The Post\u2019s exposure of the Watergate scandal leads to President Richard M. Nixon\u2019s resignation. On \u200eTuesday, \u200eOctober \u200e21, \u200e2014 legendary Washington Post Editor Ben Bradlee dies at 93.<\/p>\n

FASHION DESIGNER TO THE STARS PERISHES<\/strong> Big name superstars of the stage and screen as well as First Ladies favorite fashion designer is Oscar de la Renta with his elegant red carpet gowns and evening wear. De la Renta\u2019s path to New York\u2019s Seventh Avenue is book worthy. At 18 he leaves his native Dominican Republic to study painting in Spain but fashion lands him on the cover of Life magazine. By 1965 he launches his own label. According to a statement from two of his company\u2019s executives, Alex Bolen and Eliza Bolen: De la Renta died at home Monday evening in Connecticut surrounded by family and friends and more than a few dogs<\/em>. Oscar de la Renta\u2019s first wife, French Vogue editor Francoise de Langlade, passes in 1983.<\/p>\n

TV STATION SALUTES WRONG PEYTON<\/strong> Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning shatters Brett Favre\u2019s all-time passing touchdown record with his 509th career scoring pass as the Broncos pile it on the 49ers 42-17. An intern in the graphics department of KOMO TV ABC CH 4 Seattle, WA must let their fingers do the walking in the wrong place. During Breaking news on Sunday night on KOMO TV when the anchor applauds Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning, on the screen flashes a picture of NBA superstar Gary Payton. Oh no! It\u2019s Peyton not Payton! Retired New Orleans quarterback Archie Manning is mighty proud of his two sons. Peyton is Broncos quarterback and Eli guides the New York Giants.<\/p>\n

COUNTRY LEGEND COYOYE RETIRES<\/strong> One of the many radio personalities that Top 40 KULF-790 Houston, TX lures in for the 6-10 pm spot during my time there in 1979 is Coyote Calhoun from Top 40 WAKY-790 in Louisville, KY. Coyote and I have one thing in common \u2013 our distaste for disco music. He desperately wants to ditch Top 40 for Country radio. Because of my many years as PD of Country radio stations here in TX, Coyote picks my brain. Calhoun beats a path back to Derby City<\/em> and talks management of an auto-pilot FM station to let him hire Country DJs. For the next 35 years iHeartMedia Country WAMZ FM is the top rated radio station in the Gateway to the South<\/em>. At the end of 2014, Coyote Calhoun decides it\u2019s time to retire from radio.<\/p>\n

TRIVIA QUESTION:<\/strong> How The Beach Boys come up with their name may surprise you. The answer appears below.<\/p>\n

JACK PARNELL [ex WHBQ-560 PD\/DJ] (Memphis, TN)<\/strong> I remember hearing about Elkins, although I didn\u2019t know much about them. My former studio business partner had gone there and gotten his first. I never had an actual license; I got a 3rd class radiotelephone permit, which was obtained by merely filling out an application. I think it was actually used more by military radio operators, but it did give djs authority to read the transmitter readings and fill out the log. I\u2019m surprised I didn\u2019t really go ahead and get a first phone. I\u2019ve been into ham radio since I was 14, plus I was a radio operator in the Civil Air Patrol up in my hometown. Interesting about the $65\/week; that\u2019s what I made in 1957 at WDXI in Jackson, TN. When I started at WHBQ, I was disappointed that they would only pay me $75\/week, but I knew it would get better\u2026after 6 months at WHBQ, they doubled my pay<\/em>.<\/p>\n

BLAKE LINDSAY (Dallas-Addison, TX)<\/strong> Subject: Some of the Best Pipes I\u2019ve Ever Heard, has Left The Building. Hi, Jim. Jaan McCoy passed away yesterday, in the air chair at AM-770-KAAM. I understand he still performed weekend shifts there. He is also part owner in AM-1400 in Greenville TX. He worked the 12:00 to 6:00 PM shift for a good long time. It was mostly voice tracked, as so much is these days. I sure like those golden pipes heard on AM-1310 for years, along with AM-770. Jennifer and I are glad you still come through for us twice a week on your stories, emails and more with Jim Rose Remembers Radio. (www.blazinblake.com<\/strong><\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY\u2019S RADIO? WHERE IS RADIO HEADED?<\/strong> We want to know what is on your mind. Let\u2019s start a radio revolution. Give us your opinion about today\u2019s radio or whatever is on your mind at Rosekkkj@earthlink.net<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

DON SUNDEEN [former KCOH-1430 OM\/PD\/DJ-Hi Records promotion-TV ad prod] (Dallas, TX)<\/strong>\u2018Wikipedia on \u201cIt\u2019s Later Than You Think.\u201d The most popular version of the song, recorded by Guy Lombardo and His Royal Canadians, was made on November 27 (some sources give November 28), 1949. The recording was released by Decca Records as catalog number 24825. The record first reached the Billboard charts on January 13, 1950 and lasted 19 weeks on the chart, peaking at #10. Another recording, by Doris Day, was made on January 13, 1950 and released by Columbia Records as catalog number 38709. Tommy Dorsey and his orchestra made a recording on February 2, 1949 which was released by RCA Victor Records as catalog number 20-3375. In 1963 Prince Buster recorded a Ska version which was released by Blue Beat records as a B-Side.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n

TRIVIA ANSWER:<\/strong> In November 1961, California Rock band The Pendletones record Surfin\u2019<\/em> on Hite Morgan\u2019s Candix Records. After Candix presses the records someone discovers that a young promotions worker, Russ Regan, changes the The Pendletones\u2019 name to The Beach Boys to tie the group in with other surf bands. This huge mistake enrages Brian Wilson and Mike Love who write Surfin\u2019<\/em>. But with a limited budget, Candix cannot reprint the record\u2019s labels. So, the The Beach Boys\u2019 name remains. Regan\u2019s blunder proves to be a massive goldmine for The Beach Boys.<\/p>\n

CHARLES GEORGE [ex KCHU FM] (Dallas, TX)<\/strong> Subject: Its Elementary. The place where KSKY was on Bruton now has an Elementary School being built on the site. KSKY now has moved to Balch Springs from what I have been told. I once visited KSKY studios in The Stoneleigh Hotel on Maple, I liked seeing their pipe organ. I did this while I was a volunteer at KCHU. I would listen to local radio if they were more creative, also I am not the age that they want, since I am retired and not as affluent as those in North Dallas, Plano, etc. and not as influenced by ads. For now I like Spotify. I paid for a premium membership so as not to get the advertisements. I also tend to be free form in my approach to listening: Classical, Jazz, Blues, Folk, etc. My mother bought me a copy of a book to read and listen to the CD with it: The Southern Journey of Alan Lomax, Tom Piazza, Library Of Congress. A book for anyone interested in Folk Music. I recently visited the Texas Gardens at Fair Park. Charles George KC5RAI<\/em><\/p>\n

ERNEST HEMINGWAY (July 21, 1899 \u2013 July 2, 1961)<\/strong> I like to listen. I have learned a great deal from listening carefully. Most people never listen<\/em>.<\/p>\n
