My neighbor was given a can of this and he's gonna fry & eat it for breakfast with eggs. I can get past the "pork brains" part but the "with milk gravy" is what bothers me...

 

Elvis Presley's 75th birthday is this year...here's what he woulda looked like if he was alive today!


Thanks to terrific listener Penny, who made this with a wood-burning kit and brought it to me at the radio station!




Thanks to listener Martha Bruin, for drawing this great picture commemmorating the Beatles 50th Anniversary this year!


This was cool...Rick Springfield was told that our station, WFMK, was the ONLY one in town that played his music...so he signed this sleeve of "Jessie's Girl" and had it sent to me!




In this shot, I'm interviewing original Beatles drummer Pete Best in 1998. Ringo replaced Pete in 1962.


Interviewing Al Feldstein, the man who gave us MAD Magazine throughout the 50's, 60's, 70's & 80's. He also gave us the ORIGINAL "Tales From The Crypt" comic book from the 1950's along with others. He also created the "Crypt Keeper" character way back in the early 1950's.


Picture taken just after interviewing Jeremy Bulloch, who played "Boba Fett" in the original STAR WARS films 30 years ago.


Fred Williamson showing me his famous "hammer." He played pro football for the Steelers, Raiders, 49'ers and Chiefs. Then he turned to acting and played "Spearchucker" in the original MASH movie with Donald Sutherland along with many other roles.


I figured this made sense..."John Robinson" was a character on LOST IN SPACE so I had to interview one of the original cast members: Mark Goddard.
