PWinsider.com reports that Captain Lou Albano died today at age 76. I remember him as manager to the greatest heels in the WWWF when it was still a regional promotion that I had to watch on Channel 47 with the circular UHF antenna. Safe crossing, Captain! Thanks for the memories.
I would do a tribute this Sunday, but my program has been preempted for a cover tunes marathon.
UPDATE: It was a fun morning with Cliff rolling out the sometimes strange cover tunes. Thanks to everybody who made a pledge to WPKN. (10/18/2009)

Michael Jackson
He was a freak show, and possibly something much worse, but tonight it's the music I remember. From elementary school through college, from "I'll Be There" to "Billie Jean," his music was part of the soundtrack of my life.
Rest in peace.

Mayhem in Iran
I haven't posted anything about the violence in Iran following the election, although I've been retweeting some dispatches from inside Iran. JammieWearingFool has a good post today about the situation. Some of the descriptions I've seen on Twitter are far more gruesome than what he describes.

LiveNation & Aramark: sticking it to the customer one show at a time
Really?!?
Jones Beach: $6.50 for a bottle of water.
Great Woods: $6.00 for a bottle of water.
Really?!?
The same bottle of water that goes for $1 outside the venue. WTF?
LiveNation and Aramark should eat a bag of dicks.
UPDATE: I wrote to both companies asking for an explanation. If either or both write back, I'll post it.
UPDATE: Welcome, Aramark readers! I see you've discovered my blog. Would you care to explain why LiveNation allows your company to charge $6.50 for a bottle of water that retails for $1 outside the venue?

WBAI continues melting down
Pacifica's Interim Executive Director Grace Aaron replaced Tony Riddle, WBAI's General Manager, on May 4th by kicking him upstairs to a no-show position with Pacifica's national office. Pacifica's Interim Chief Financial Officer, LaVarn Williams, takes over. The NYC IMC published the leaked letter from Grace Aaron. The comments, as usual for Indymedia, speak for themselves.
* You will be reassigned from your current position as station manager of WBAI to the national office as
Development Director.
* Your salary and benefits will remain the same.
* You will work out of your home until further notice, and will report to me as your immediate supervisor.
That's not a bad job offer for someone who nearly ran WBAI into the ground, including allegedly 4 months rent not paid on the studio and 2 months not paid for the antenna.
Speaking of Pacifica, former CFO Lonnie Hicks is suing the Pacifica Foundation. The wrongful termination suit alleges that
Pacifica Radio governance factions use guerrilla warfare to coerce those who are different from themselves along racial and political lines, and "acts in an intolerant, capricious, discriminatory, retaliatory, prejudicial and coercive manner" and "believe that the ends ... justify the means."Technorati tags: WBAI, Tony Riddle, Pacifica, radio

The plague of the jam band scene
This video is from the Nassau Coliseum lot last night. You can hear the tanks hissing in the background. Look at all the balloons on the ground. Nitrous oxide, a.k.a. hippie crack, is a plague on the scene. It was out of control at the Klein in Bridgeort when the Disco Biscuits played there, and apparently Nassau had the worst gas scene of the Dead 2009 tour.
The nitrous dealers are organized thugs, and they must be stopped.

Interview with The Barber
Sunday, April 12th, 1:30 p.m.I'll be interviewing Jon Gutwillig of the Disco Biscuits.
Uniting elements of electronic dance music with more traditional forms of American rock, the Disco Biscuits have long established themselves as one of the most exciting - and influential - touring bands in the country. In the late 90s, the band pioneered a unique style of music, often referred to as "trance-fusion," that distinguished them from their peers, while heavily influencing an entire generation of younger "livetronica" acts.
The Disco Biscuits will be playing The Klein in Bridgeport on April 19th.
UPDATE: For whatever reason, the interview didn't happen. If I can reschedule it I'll post a note.
