To BOSS JOCKS
From: Ron Jacobs
O.K., so last year at this time here we were (most of us) a hesitant
embryo, flexing our baby-ratings, with a sound that had been on the
air for six weeks, so new that [L. A. Times radio columnist] Don
Page hadn't to put it down and with The Rolling Stones Concert, The
Sonny & Cher Concert, the Batphone Contest, The Big Kahuna...
and those #1 ratings yet to come.
Now...one year later...summer is here and this is our time, baby,
with 750,000 Boss Radio diggers on the loose, ready to boost those
numbers to where they belong: on top of EVERYONE, a11 the time and
that includes Joe Pyne discussing the effects of frozen sperm on
the baby food market for 13 minutes and Vin Scully painting word
pictures of Drysdale's pickoff motion. We's a rockin' powerhouse
of their kind of sound, pumping out into beach scenes, backseats,
hung over adolescents, turned on strip-cruisers, Sam the Sham digging
teeny-boppers, pooped groupies, stars, 19-year-old Mustang driving
mini-skirted consumer ladies, Little Leaguers hung-up on the Chavez
Ravine out-ramp, draftees, pseudo-surfers and that l6-year-old thri11-seeker
from Minneapolis wondering what the hell is so groovy about Grauman's
Chinese Theater
SO...for 24 hours a day let's not forget WHO'S out there listening
for a little happiness...not-so-lonely with transistor rubbing their
identity-seeking little ears...hoping that someone, you, Boss Jock,
will TALK TO THEM. We got 90 days here (and a Big Kahuna, a Surfin'
Bird, a boss Bi111board and a head start) to finish up our mopping
up operations! Let's de-de-de-de-destroy those retarded mock-rockers
who would dare to call themselves our competition. Make the kids
luv ya!!
