The Allan Handelman Show
For March 4th, 2001
|
Kicking off the show is Rock Journalist R. Gary Patterson, author
of two rock culture classics, The  Walrus
Was Paul: The Great Beatle Death Clues and his latest, Hellhounds
on Their Trail: Tales from the Rock N Roll Graveyard. Hellhounds
is packed with all the great myths and legends of Rock & Roll
- stuff that you've talked about with friends for years. Here's
what a reviewer from Amazon.com had to say about the book:
"The stories of the Zeppelin Curse, the Stones,
Buddy Holly, Bobby Fuller, Morrison, Hendrix..they are all here.
Many of these stories are simply 'whispered myths' that are
included with all their mystery to allow the reader to experience
them first hand, especially if he/she wasn't there when these stories
first made their rounds. I found the retrospective looks at
the deaths of Henrix and Brian Jones especially appealing. The
documentation of eyewitnesses who have come forth to tell the true
story of what happened to these master musicians is worth the price
of the book alone". |

 Also
this week, Michael Weldon of Psychotronic Magazine and the author
the two Rock Culture classics, The Psychotronic Encyclopedia Of Film
and The Psychtronic Video Guide To Film. Weldon is the leading
authority on films deemed to be "psychotronic," a designation
he stretches to encompass horror flicks, spaghetti westerns, low-budget
quickies,
exploitation films of all stripes - in short, anything disdained
by the critical establishment. If you've been trying to find
the name of some long-lost film you saw a scrap of on late night TV,
odds are Michael knows what it is. Call in and try to stump
him! |

Later on in the show we'll find out how to legally make homegrown
brew. Not only is making beer at home more fun and definitely
cheaper, you also get to control the "buzz". The
guys from Homebrew Adventures will be joining us. Check out their
site at Homebrew.com .
