65 being the year of my birth, I'm sticking to my original statement about it being a fine year. Though I would we dont mention the FCC and the year of my birth in the same context going forward ... hahahaha
Love this show, the Oh How Happy tune is really nice! Paul Carrack and Carlene Carter did a remake thats quite good as well. I have been putting together a smal picture show for my mothers 80th birthday and have used that remake in the soundtrack.
That TalkTalk song sounds really familiar, I think Alice Cooper did a remake on his Flush The Fashion album in 1980, pretty sure, but I need to confirm! And I thought he was writing cool stuff! hahahaha
Its funny that I am the youngest in my family and my oldest brother was into this style of music, but I sitll dont know half of these. But its cool to think about this time period and get the chance to hear what was going on.
Thanks Mike!
Mike,
I've had one of those weeks like you've been talking about lately. But I finally got to this. I was 5 months old when this occurred. How cool. I'm pretty sure I wasn't listening on July 30, 1966.
But this was a very cool show. I love all the info you provided and although I've never claimed to be a fan of 60's music, I must say I'm very impressed here. Of course I know Wild Thing, but that second song was really interesting. The guitar and bass work really stood out to me. And the song about Bernadette was probably my favorite here.
I'll say it again, I really enjoyed this show and will catch part 2 soon.
Actually Scott, it was 1965 when the FCC made the ruling- FM stations had until January 1967 to provide their own programming for no less than 12 hours a day.
WOR-FM jumped on it July 30, 1966...an ever BETTER year than '65, LOL!
And for me, at my perfect impressionable age, 1967 was the BEST of them all.
Never been surpassed still for music!
Mike
