From
ME, a link to the far past of 50 yrs. ago., before ZIP Codes & numerical-only 'phone prefixes. (Oddly enough, the "MA." in the bottom left advert, even though it was in downtown Hell, stands for MAdison, not MAin.)
Pretty damn funny. Of course, rock&roll had been reduced to suckiness then, 'though w/in four yrs. & a mo. (We actually first heard "Please Please Me" in late 1963.) The Beatles would be bringing the black back (in their own washed-out limey way) to America's pop music consumers, & suckers like Don Page would be consigned to the dustbin of cultural history.
Whatever: Art Laboe (KPOP @ 1000 Sunday morning) who claims to be the first guy to play the rock on the coast, remains
on the air, more or less 'phoning it in, reading dedications & taking calls from low-riders dedicating "Angel Baby" to Sleepy & Puppet.
Note also that KABC was virtually all Geee-Zus all the time on Sunday.
