I wonder if King Features retains some rights to the Beatles’ Yellow Submarine?

Permission Granted

China strongly condemned the overnight U.S. strike on Venezuela and the capture of President Nicolás Maduro, calling the action “deeply shocking” and a serious violation of international law.

Petula Trumps Donald

77 WABC sure isn’t what it was when I listened to the station as a kid. Recently, an interview with Trump was featured. Tonight, Cousin Brucie will restore civility to the WABC airwaves and chat with Petula Clark. I’ll record it and post the audio below.

I’ve read, and recommend, Petula’s autobiography. It’s an honest and open telling of her life, minus a few personal details. The title is something that John Lennon said, as explained in this preview.

Here’s Petula with Cousin Brucie. Hey, WABC: You’re playing only one channel of stereo recordings.
