    Oh, the rumor mill keeps on churning out the news: The latest is, singer BJ Thomas died shortly after receiving the Covid vaccine. Just like Hank Aaron and many others. 2 (two) of the vaccine types are known to cause blood clots leading to stroke or death.

    While driving this morning, I accidently hit the KIRO 97.3 preset. The Ursula/G Scott show is a joke. While discussing the Chinese space junk that will hurtle to Earth this weekend, Scott suggested that if it hit Tacoma it would solve the traffic problems.
    The listening time to confirm that KIRO should replace the 9 am – Noon time slot with DEAD AIR, sixty seconds.

      I was slaving over hot turntables at KTOY FM/Tacoma on Thanksgiving day 1972. Station manager, Chuck Ellsworth, was preparing a piece for All Things Considered which aired at 3 pm. At the end of the report, Susan Stamberg spoke for a minute with Chuck. He was beaming as he listened to the broadcast on the monitor.

        No, they have four live jocks with 4-Hour shifts from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. and then their computer plays unannounced music for 8 hours. I called and talked to the lady who does the last live shift, she even played Ernest Tubb for me and we had a long talk. They have a text number and a talk number right into the studio that nobody else answers.

          The jocks from the AM have shifts on the FM also. Check the websites.

    There have been several, lengthy periods of DEAD AIR on 96.9 KAYO. Are the DJs asleep at the turntable? Don’t tell me it is computer-driven!

      KAYO is my daughter’s favorite station. She alerted me to this issue, she contacted the station and later got a callback from the station manager. That response impressed her. The fact that a family-owned local station responded to a listener concern. Very cool.

      Of the three Kennedy brothers, I think most Americans had doubts about Ted’s abilities. He was a career politician, like Biden, but other than the Kennedy name, Ted didn’t have much going for him. These days, it doesn’t matter that you have no accomplishments during your political career.

      Would like to read article. But cannot access it for some reason. I,ll try you tube. I knew back then that Kennedy would not make it. As much as I hate to admit it, there are too many questions about Chappaquiddick that have never been answered plus he did have a drinking problem. I also do not think he was like his two brothers. Great senator, but I question his ability as president.

    Fanne Foxe has died at the age of eighty-four. Who?

    You might remember October 1974’s titillating tale of the Tidal Basin. Fanne Foxe, girlfriend of eighteen-term Arkansas congressman and beloved booze hound Wilbur Mills, leapt from his Lincoln Continental into the basin’s cold water when he was pulled over at 2:00 A. M. for driving with no headlights. When the cops rescued Fanne, they noticed her two black eyes. They also spotted a few cuts on Wilbur’s face. History was being made.

    We may have never found out, but a TV news cameraman just happened by and recorded the incident for posterity.

      Fanne Foxe was not bad looking, and at least had some talent, whether polite society approved of her or not. Scandalous! Well, look at politics today. Politicians sleeping with Chinese spies, Governors getting handsy with a half-dozen women, and a senile President that likes to sniff womens hair and is handsy with children.

    Phyllis expressed sorrow and regret about her family’s reaction to her relationship with Giancana, but she didn’t apologize for it. She particularly regretted what it might have done to the sisters’ professional “girls next door” image. If they had been the McGuire Brothers, nobody would’ve blinked an eye.

    Look at Frank Sinatra, who was rumored to have very close ties to the mob. It didn’t do anything but enhance his “tough guy” persona.

    To me, the record buyer, it made no difference. They made great records and I bought them. What they did on their days off made no difference to me.

    Jason Remington says:

    Phyllis McGuire met Sam Giancana, according to legend, in Las Vegas in 1960, when the McGuire Sisters were performing there four times a year and pulling down $30,000 a week. Sam was a widower of fifty-two, and Phyllis, barely thirty, had already divorced Neal Van Ells, a radio/television announcer from Dayton, Ohio. Like many another Vegas performer, Phyllis had taken a liking to the gaming tables and had run up a hefty marker. As the story goes, Sam, spotting her, and liking her, went to Moe Dalitz, who ran the Desert Inn, and asked him how much the McGuire girl owed. Moe told him $100,000, a large marker at any time but enormous then. Sam is alleged to have said to Moe, “Eat it,” meaning, in gangland parlance, erase the debt, which is different, of course, from paying the debt, but nonetheless it was a gesture not without charm and romantic appeal, especially since Sam followed it up with a suiteful of flowers. They fell in love. https://archive.vanityfair.com/article/1989/6/high-roller-the-phyllis-mcguire-story
