🎶On this day: November 11, 1970🎶
🎸Elvis: That’s the Way It Is premiered across theaters in the United States. This wasn’t just another concert film — it was a pivotal moment in Elvis Presley’s career and public image. After years of making formula-driven Hollywood movies in the 1960s, Elvis had returned to live performance in 1969, launching his famous Las Vegas concert residency at the newly opened International Hotel.
📽️The documentary captured Elvis during his 1970 Summer Festival engagement — a month-long run at the International. What audiences saw was a revitalized Elvis: sharp, energized, funny, loose, and in full command of the stage. The film showed both rehearsals and live performances, offering something fans had rarely seen — Elvis behind the scenes, joking with his band, tweaking arrangements, and demonstrating just how meticulous and musically involved he really was.

🎶On this day November 11 - 1973 – The Great “Hoople Live” Radio Broadcast That… Wasn’t🎶

📻On this day, thirty radio stations across the United States simultaneously aired what was heavily promoted as a special live concert performance by Mott the Hoople, the British glam-rock band best known for “All the Young Dudes” (written for them by David Bowie). At the time, the band was riding a wave of popularity, especially in the U.S., where FM radio was embracing more theatrical and flamboyant rock acts.
However, listeners who tuned in didn’t actually hear anything recorded on stage.
Instead, the program consisted of previously released studio tracks—the same versions fans already owned on vinyl—but with crowd noise dubbed over the music to create the illusion of a concert. The fake ambience—cheers, shouts, whistles, applause—was mixed in to simulate the excitement of a live event.
🎙️The broadcast was marketed as a one-time, exclusive performance to help bolster the band’s U.S. presence and maintain hype during touring gaps. Radio stations presented it as a major rock event, and many fans genuinely believed they were hearing Mott the Hoople playing in real time.
🎸This wasn’t the first time or the last time rock promotions would do this, but in 1973, when radio was the primary way fans experienced new music, it was a bold move. Some listeners felt fooled once the truth got out—while others shrugged and kept rocking along. After all, Mott the Hoople was known for drama, and this kind of theatrical marketing fit the era’s glam-rock showmanship.
🎤The incident has since become a quirky footnote in rock history—part clever promotion, part illusion, and part testament to how easily the line between live energy and studio polish could be blurred in the age before social media and instant fact-checking.

🎬 Spotlight on a Rock ’n’ Roll Classic: Go, Johnny, Go! (1959)

If you love the golden age of rock ’n’ roll, here’s one you’ve got to see — the 1959 film Go, Johnny, Go!, now available for free streaming on Tubi:
👉 https://tubitv.com/movies/100009377/go-johnny-go

This fast-paced musical gem stars our very own Jimmy Clanton — a proud member of The Johnny Rock and Roll Radio Family — alongside some of the biggest names of the era, including Chuck Berry, Ritchie Valens, Jackie Wilson, Eddie Cochran, The Cadillacs, The Flamingos, Jo-Ann Campbell, and Sandy Stewart.
Hosted by legendary DJ Alan Freed, the movie captures the excitement of early rock ’n’ roll as it follows a young singer’s rise to stardom. It also serves as a time capsule of a revolutionary moment in music history — when the sounds of rhythm, blues, and teenage rebellion lit up jukeboxes around the world.

🎶 Trivia Corner:
Go, Johnny, Go! marked one of the final screen appearances for both Eddie Cochran and Ritchie Valens, who tragically died later that same year.
The title song “Go, Johnny, Go” was written and performed by Chuck Berry — the very tune that inspired Johnny B. Goode!
Jimmy Clanton’s heartfelt performance cemented his place as one of the era’s most beloved teen idols.
And you can still hear Jimmy Clanton’s warm, inspiring voice every Sunday at 9 AM and again at 12 Noon (CST) on Food For the Soul in The Gospel Tent on Johnny Rock and Roll Radio.

Have you ever seen Go, Johnny, Go! — or do you remember catching one of these artists live back in the day?

🎸 Hey groovy people — DJ Ernie T here, spinning back the clock for some far-out moments from October 30 throughout our favorite decade — the 1970s! Let’s take a look at what was happening across the golden years of rock, soul, and everything in between.
🎶 October 30, 1970
Black Sabbath played their first-ever U.S. concert at Glassboro State College in New Jersey, introducing America to the dark, heavy sound that would shape hard rock forever. Around that same time, Stevie Wonder was climbing the charts with “You Haven’t Done Nothin’,” and Elton John’s Tumbleweed Connection was taking listeners on a wild western journey of melody and storytelling.
🎵 October 30, 1971
Pink Floyd released Meddle in the U.S. — the album that featured their 20-plus-minute masterpiece “Echoes.” This was the moment the band shifted from psychedelic explorers to progressive rock legends.
🎤 October 30, 1972
Teen country powerhouse Tanya Tucker released “Love’s the Answer / The Jamestown Ferry,” proving she was more than just a one-hit wonder after “Delta Dawn.” On the same day, progressive icons Yes struck gold with Close to the Edge, one of the most ambitious records of the decade.
📀 October 30, 1973
The Grateful Dead performed live at the Kiel Auditorium in St. Louis — a show so good it would later be immortalized in official archive releases. It was pure, vintage Dead — cosmic jams, loyal fans, and musical magic.
🎸 October 30, 1975
Bob Dylan kicked off his legendary Rolling Thunder R***e in Plymouth, Massachusetts — a free-spirited, carnival-like tour filled with folk, rock, poetry, and a who’s-who of musical greats joining along the way.
🌎 October 30, 1976
The OTI Festival lit up Acapulco, Mexico, showcasing talent from all over Latin America and Europe — proof that the 70s truly made music a global language.
⚡ October 30, 1977
Across the U.K., the punk and new wave scene was exploding. The Boomtown Rats took the stage in Croydon, stirring up the energy that would define the late 70s sound.
From psychedelic rock to disco lights, protest songs to power ballads — every October 30 had a sound that defined the decade.

What’s your favorite October 70s memory?

🎶 October 30, 1964
On this day, the legendary Roy Orbison earned his ninth Gold Record for one of the most iconic songs in rock and roll history — “Oh! Pretty Woman.”
The song, co-written with Bill Dees, became an international sensation, topping the charts in ten countries, including the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, and selling over seven million copies worldwide. Its unforgettable guitar riff, coupled with Orbison’s soaring, emotional vocals, made it an instant classic.

“Oh! Pretty Woman” wasn’t just a hit — it was a cultural moment. Its swagger, style, and sentiment captured the spirit of the 1960s, influencing artists from Van Halen to Bruce Springsteen and beyond. Even decades later, the song remains timeless — instantly recognizable from the first note.

What’s your favorite Roy Orbison song that still gives you chills every time you hear it?

It is with great sadness that we remember June Lockhart, the beloved actress who brought warmth, grace, and strength to millions of households as the quintessential TV mom on Lassie and Lost in Space. June passed away peacefully at her home in Santa Monica, California, at the age of 100.
Born in New York City in 1925 to actor parents Gene and Kathleen Lockhart, June’s career began on stage at just eight years old. She made her film debut in A Christmas Carol (1938) alongside her parents, then went on to become one of television’s most recognizable faces.
As Ruth Martin on Lassie (1958–1964) and Maureen Robinson on Lost in Space (1965–1968), she personified compassion, intelligence, and resilience — qualities that endeared her to generations of viewers. Her presence on screen offered comfort and stability during a time when America was changing rapidly, and her performances still hold that same magic today.
Beyond acting, June Lockhart was admired for her curiosity and advocacy — from supporting space exploration (she was even honored by NASA) to remaining engaged with the arts and her fans well into her later years.
A true legend of television’s golden age, she leaves behind an enduring legacy of love, laughter, and light.
