Do you remember Don Kirschner's Rock Concert show?
ReplyDeleteThat was so fucking funny. Kircshner was such a nerd and he insisted on introducing all the acts.
That was the only other rock n' roll we'd ever get back in those days. Though, as unlikely as it seems, David Bowie was on Bing Crosby's Christmas Special one year.
LOL
And, here's a particularly funny intro from Don Kirschner:

That George Benson feller is a pretty good gee-tar player.
ReplyDeleteI remember Kirschner well. When my wife and I were first dating we'd spend Friday and Saturday nights watching the 3 shows -- Midnight Special (Wolfman Jack!), Rock Concert and Friday Night Videos.
ReplyDeleteBowie on Crosby spawned The Little Drummer Boy duet.
He can pick, cain't hee?
ReplyDeleteOh yes, George Benson. Those were the days.
ReplyDeleteWhenever I heard the word "suit" used derisively about business guys/lawyers, I always thought about Don K. He seemed the ultimate "suit" in a world of brilliant, insane artists.
ReplyDeleteBut I loved that show. I think it was where I heard Prince for the first time. He was wearing transparent pants, I think.
