KFXM and KMEN the Top 40 stations of the Inland Empire (San Bernardino/Riverside)in the 1960's. This site will bring you information and pictures from these two stations KFXM 590 and KMEN 1290. For other musical and miscellaneous interests take a look at.........................http://djsgone.blogspot.com/
Also known as........UNDERGROUND VAULT of Records, Music and all kinds of Stuff
The summer of 1967, the Summer of Love, KFXM and KMEN were great rivals, fantastic concerts at the Orange Show Grounds, I had just gotton my driver's license and my clunker car that Spring, and I didn't really have a care in the world. Life was so sweet back then.
I've always appreciated DAY FOR DECISION. Very heartfelt words and always applied anytime if you just change it to current affairs. However, not feeling too proud of my country anymore. The current political status is abhorring at all levels. No need to look for external threats to this country. We have them coast to coast on all our elected officials from President to Mayors. I will not be hearing this tune this year. Not feeling any pride this time.
By the way DFD was out a year earlier but it applied very well anytime, except lately. Kids, we are in a mess.
MEGA DITTOS on the last post, everything the poster stated is true for me as well. Couldn't have made the case better for the deterioration of our nation.
On k/Men magazine foto: I didn't know Buffalo Chicks were in vogue back then in 1967 but that's way cool with me!
As I was walking down the street Down the street, down the street A pretty girl I chanced to meet And we danced by the light of the moon
Buffalo gals won't you come out tonight Come out tonight come out tonight Buffalo gals won't you come out tonight And we'll dance by the light of the moon
I danced with a gal with a hole in her stocking And he knees was a-knockin' and her shoes was a'rockin' I danced with a gal with a hole in her stocking And we danced by the light of the moon
Times change. In 1966 it was "Ballad of the Green Berets" and the Green Berets were the wonder soldiers. Now the wonder soldiers are the Navy Seals. The Navy Seals have more of a "Mission Impossible" style I guess. The Green Berets are now Army Special Forces.
This is the 2nd go round for Society's Child. First time was November 1966. Not a big hit at that time. Wow it really exploded 2nd time in 1967.
Janis Ian looked kinda homely. And that was a good thing. She gave us "At Seventeen" in the 70s. A reflection of no-so-pretty girls and their peers. Her looks just helped in understanding the song.
Some stations did not play DON'T SLEEP IN THE SUBWAY. They considered the line "...take off your coat and close the door..." a bit sexual. We were still a prudish country. How times have changed with rap. Now anything goes.
Buffalo Chicks got no reason Buffalo Chicks got no reason Buffalo Chicks got no reason To slim down
They got swollen hands beady eyes They walk around Sayin' "come what lies" They got puggy noses And really raunchy teeth They wear steele-tiped boots On their huge smelly feet
Well, I don't want no Buffalo Chicks Don't want no Buffalo Chicks Don't want no Buffalo Chicks On top of me!

I don't know that I would have been attracted to the Buffalo Chicks in 1967 but they're looking pretty good to me right now.

The Sonny Bono single related
ReplyDeleteto the upcoming addition to the
Bono family.
That would be Chastity.
Chaz Bono today.
By the way, why is we never
see Chaz Bono and George Zimmerman
in the same room.
Are they both one and the same?
Just a funny I heard.
Hey! Those Beefalo Chicks can be quite cozy and accomodating for the right guy who appreciates 'em.
ReplyDeleteAnd is Chaz Bono REALLY George Zimmerman in disguise?
Why yes, "I guarantee it!"
