Ivory and Ebony on WABC, 1962
I enjoyed doing an oldies post last Saturday night, so I’ll do another one tonight. On the audio player is a classic WABC Musicradio jingle, then two songs from the WABC chart for the week ending June 30, 1962. The first one is number 19, followed by number 20.
[audio:http://www.dograt.com/Audio/2008/FEB/WABCJingle.mp3,http://www.dograt.com/Audio/2008/FEB/DrKildare.mp3,http://www.dograt.com/Audio/2008/FEB/INeedYourLovin.mp3]You must play the first song all the way through to get the full effect when the second song comes in. This is one of the best examples I’ve ever heard of the culture clash that was so unsettling to the White establishment of the time.
More Late Night Smack-Down
You may have noticed that I didn’t include absolutely everything in my video from the start of the Super Smash melee with Colbert-Conan-Stewart, so you’ll want to watch this.

Mortgage Mess Monster
60 Minutes recently had a good segment on the mortgage crisis, and why it’s had such a big effect on Wall Street.
‘Great Escape’ Survivor Dies
Recently I posted this item about the real-life escape in WWII from Stalag Luft III that was the basis for the movie The Great Escape. After seeing the movie on TV (one of those two-night specials) I bought a huge poster of Steve McQueen sitting on the motorcycle he stole from a Nazi soldier and rode around the countryside.
One of the few men that escaped — and who wasn’t shot after being re-captured — has passed away. Bertram “Jimmy” James was 92. The Guardian has the story at this link. Here is a video, apparently recent, with Mr. James.
