I agree with you "blackhorse6." They need to bring back some of the old shows. KSAN had some of the best impromtu radio. Terry McGovern was so freakin' great! Those D.J.'s knew how to do a show. Today's radio is soooo f**ked up, with lame, desperate sexual content and making fun of the disabled, mentally ill and etc. As a kid in the eastbay, I used to have this old nineteen fifty nine General Electric AM-FM radio hooked-up with splicing wire to homemade speakers. (My dad made them for us). We had them hanging from the ceiling of my bedroom with the two sets of 6-panel blacklight posters of the universe and Mr.Natural struttin' with a doobie.(Talk about archaic in-the-day surround sound). At night... I'd turn on the purple neon, after coming home stoned and spend hours listening to the King Biscuit Flower Hour and whole new album releases "Side One" and "Side Two." What about the interviews with some of best bands and artist of the times. And I loved the skits, the genre was so before Saturday Night Live. I was turned on to one of my favorite bands by KSAN...the Detectives.....raspy growling.....Comptetion baby...made of fool out of me....duduuudntdnt....dduuudntdnt. That's rock. Guitar licks and more! Bass beats! Drum keeping time! Who the hell does that now? KSAN kicked-ass! Remember...? This KSAN...in San Francisco. Sometimes We do it fast.....sometimes We do it slow. But Oh! Oh! Oh! We always do it !!! And then then chorus melody would come in with. And when...when... you do it...Oh! Oh!(The kicker was that it was done with a Mae West sound alike. Someone needs to get a hold of Terry McGovern and see if he has some of his old work on reel-to-reel. Later on in the seventies KMEL was a pretty good radio station too, and when in range I'd always try to get KOME radio to receive. NO radio stations rock like that anymore.
