DUSTY MORGAN, PICTURED IN KMEN'S
HIT*LINE 1st issue, was the lead player in the infamous
'Fumble Foot Five' basketball team of DJ's sent out to play against the Inland Empire's best faculty atheletes from area schools and colleges...
yessum, "The Duster" really did do quite well on the court along with Gene Lane, Buddy Scott, Frank Thompson and Bill McKinney. however, as a member of the F-5 squad -- like many school principals who got away from behind their desks -- my dribble-bouncing talent was better spent announcing the games (in order to better my team's chances at winning). those academics-turned- players got serious at times about beating a bunch of disk jockies!
but, what a fun time it was entertaining all those students and families with the antics of the K/Men Fumble Foot Five.
WITH THE ISSUANCE OF THE KMEN HIT*LINE record sleeve, this was a sign of the beginning of the end for radio broadcasting's listener-oriented publications that reached their height in popularity during the 1960's.
with drastically increasing printing and mailing costs, expenditure of personnel time and resources for editorial composition and distribution,
-- along with the gradually increasing consolidation and corporatisation of AM/FM media outlets -- spelled the death knell of many station's legendary poop sheets durings the 1970's and beyond.
some station's tried to continue publishing music surveys for their audience base, but the editorial-content so fun to read in the earlier decade was, quite sadly, a thing of the past.
Tune in on Saturday to kfxm.com
I'm going to have a mystery song contest!! I'll play the record between 12 and 12:30, and see if you can identify it. You can e-mail me at: johnny@kfxm.com
Hope you'll listen.
Johnny Helm
