The Show

If you missed this one, you missed a good one. I could have used 6 or 7 more hours. Great guests, great calls, not enough time or songs. Song wise, it was quality over quantity.

The Guests

A new movie about a Vaudeville era filthy joke that is told by like a hundred top comedians opens today. The film’s director, Paul Provenza, phoned while we were sitting with one of the movie’s many comedians, Taylor Negron. Taylor is a blast to have on the show, endlessly amusing and equally interesting. Paul was very thorough explaining what Aristocrats was all about. We also had legendary entertainer, Coati Mundi, from Kid Creole and the Coconuts, on the show, another extremely interesting and quite charming guest. Tom Arnold called and told us about his new movie Happy Endings. Monday Morning Damashek came by and referred to himself in the third person, changed his name twice, and gave us no sports information. It seems he has a new agent, Duncan Gray, who is intent on throwing a monkey wrench into the agreement the MightyMorningShow has with MM Damashek.

"I want my 10 pounds of licorice.. no make that 20 pounds"

The Show


Wednesday we took a lot of phone calls, including one from my call-in sports statistics guy, who informed me that Matt Clement was probably hit by a ball, which was traveling at least 20% faster than what he pitched. Luckily the Red Sox pitcher is doing all right. We gave away, much too her surprise, and luckily she was all right with it, copies of Liz’s book, “Ditched by Dr. Right”, by Elizabeth Warner. We tried to locate the guy who promised us 10 lbs. of licorice. We gave the magazine, Fran, our blessings on their plan to do an article about their planned experiences, tripping on Mescalin Tea in Tijuana. We learned that the Steel Wheels Rolling Stones tour took place in 1989. Our guest is a Mets fan, and was part of the New York City Hardcore Punk Rock scene of the mid 80s, so I was anxious to meet him, as opposed to being a Yankees fan, and part of the Christian Polka scene of the late 70s, I would simply have no interest.

The Guests

Marcos Siega, a filmmaker (director), whose first movies are coming out this month and next month. “Pretty Persuasion” on August 12 and “The Underclassman” sometime in September. He has directed videos for Weezer, Blink 182, Pete Yorn, Kelly Osbourne, and Jurassic 5, and was a very nice guy. He promised to allow me to be “bartender #2” in his next film. Really enjoyed talking with Marcos. Surf Junkie Jeff phoned from his surfing event. He’s very excited to be there “like a kid in a licorice store”.

THE SHOW
What a great show "chock-a-block" full as Liz likes to say. We dedicated the MightyMorningShow to Jonesy's Jukebox. Steve Jonesâ's show was named "Best Radio Show in Los Angeles" by Los Angeles Magazine (I name that mag. "The Best Magazine in the World Named after a City) and they're right. Indie 103 1 would be no where without Steve Jones. We called a woman from PETA (People for The Ethical Treatment of Animals) She wrote me to tell me she would be protesting The Ringling Brothers Circus. According to her, and I also think it's true, "circus animals are badly mistreated" I'm, old school I'm all for tradition but animals in captivity for our personal entertainment, and amusement, seems barbaric, primitive, and unnecessary. The lady was very nice, funny, and passionate about "Animal Rights" I discussed getting out of a traffic ticket because the officer was a MightyMorningShow fan (true) We gave away Lottery tickets, the amount is a record setting 172 million dollars

THE GUESTS
The modern day New Wave band The Epoxies came in. They were really charming, and I'm a big fan of their latest album. The legendary front man from the Psychedelic Furs, Richard Butler called us. I'm a huge fan of his band, so it was a thrill to talk with him. Joe Gittleman, and Lawrence Katz, my pals, and fellow Bosstones, co-hosted the show. They were very funny, and fun to have on board

THE SONGS
1. Lawrence Katz - You're a Dick
2. The Jam - Boy About Town

21. Epoxies - Everything looks Beautiful on Video
22. Ordinary Boys - Boys Will Be Boys
23. The Living End - Short Notice
24. Red Rockers - China
25. The Cars - Movin' in Stereo

Tracs 1) to 25) (with some exceptions) I was in a New Wave mood

The Show
Allow me to begin by thanking everyone for the dozens of e-mails we got regarding today's guest. They came pouring in during the show. Stacey, Chuck, Liz and I all agree he could quite possibly be the funniest guest we've ever had on the MightyMorningShow. I gave away an Iggy Pop package, some Rob Zombie's Devil's Reject screening passes, and tickets to see the Circle Jerks at the Glass House, by asking where Pop, Zombie and the Jerks are from( Michigan, Massachusetts, and California). Our Guest was trying to give away a date, that I am suppose to pay for, with Stacey. Liz pronounced Nicklaus, Jack Nick-Klows, and insists it is the proper way to pronounce it. I never doubt Liz's wisdom, and now pronounce his name that way as well now.

From Curb Your Enthusiasm, legendary stunt man, Super Dave Osborne. Enough said.

Wed July 13th


The Show
Chuck was not feeling well; Stacey was after yesterday's nine-hour hangover. Called my mother regarding her birthday, which as yesterday. I pretended that I thought it was today. She said she had a "lovely birthday with her sisters June and Babe" and that she ran into my lifelong pal Brian Hayes at Home Depot, where she's been working. My guests were not strangers to the show, and the laughs were a-plenty.

The Guests
Comedian Doug Benson, and the main member of the Dwarves, Blag Dahlia. Doug was sharp, funny, and quick all morning, like he is every time he comes on the show. Blag was very forthcoming with what happened when he was hit in the head by Josh Homme with a bottle. He also put together a clean Dwarves Greatest Hits CD, especially for me. Whenever pals like these guys come on the show Liz calls us "rutting elk" for some reason. She's also concerned with someone breaking my jaw.

  24. The Jam- In the City
  25. Paul Anka- My Way

Trac 1) This is an old Boston punk rock song from the compilation, "This Is Boston Not LA". The band is from the Cape, and you can tell it's old because there hasn't been a "happy hour" in Massachusetts for twenty years.
2) I love this band and I love this song.

Tue July 12th



The Show
Today was tatuesday and it almost didn't happen at all. We were without a Tattoo Artist less than 24 hours ago. The band (my guests) had an artist lined up who bowed out, leaving us artist-less. Luckily, with the help of the guys from the Shamrock Social Club, the fellas at Rubes Tattoo Parlor and ultimately Patrick from our Promotions Department, combined with Stacey's diligence, we were able to locate a very talented artist. There was a very interesting conversation with a very interesting filmmaker whose passion, and dedication to his craft, could not equal anything less than a quality MightyMorningShow guest. I gave away a couple of Iggy Pop DVDs, some sort of elaborate Iggy Pop box set thing. I tried to call my Mother and she was unreachable (damn!) it's her birthday.

The Guests
Three of the four members of the local band, The Ignorant, Matt, Chip, and Diego came by. Chip got a modern traditional dagger and rose motif tattooed across his torso/ribcage area. The Ignorant are playing at the Troubadour tomorrow night at an Indie 1031 sponsored show with The Street Dogs and Throw Rag. The artist was a really great guy who saved our skin, and tattooed Chip's. His name was Captain Dave, and he was from Studio City Tattoo Parlor. Craig Brewer from Memphis, Tennessee, the writer and director of the movie Hustle and Flow, which is going to be released in theaters July 22 came in with Erin from the American Film Institute. Erin and the people at AFI are exceptionally helpful, and very good to us. Craig was endlessly interesting, and he promised us he would return.

The Show
I want to start by thanking everyone for all of the positive feedback I got from having Michael Patrick McDonald on the show Friday. His MIghtyMorningShow appearance generated more positive emails than any other guest in the past. He also, I'm sure, appreciates everyone that said they "stopped by the bookstore or went to Amazon.com" to "buy his book", "All Souls". We will have him on the show again when he returns to work on the movie version of A.S. It was Stacey's (Party Girl) birthday. I got her a pair of sneakers that didn't fit. I started the show by giving her what she called "the best birthday present" I fell running down the hall. I wiped out in a pair of flip-flops skinning both my knees moments before the start of the show. Gave away Oslo tickets and my copy of our guest's book signed by the author and me.

The Guests
Heather King, who wrote the book "Parched, the true story of an alcoholic that grew up in New Hampshire, was able to obtain a law degree, but never practiced law because of her alcoholism. She is also the sister of Joe King from the legendary punk rock band, The Queers. She was very interesting to talk with and I enjoyed reading her book. Kevin P. Stevenson of the Shods called. He was having difficulty finding an address for the station.

The Songs

Have a beautiful day, Dicky.

Fri July 8th

Friday Jul 8 The Show

Today was a show I've been waiting to do for a long time. My guest wrote a book that was probably my favorite book ever written about a time and place that is very important to me. I'm not sure if I did the subject justice (in its entirety), but plans have been made to have him back soon and if my show was nine hours long, I'm still not sure it could be properly covered. It is far too complex a subject with far too many facets. A huge regret I had this morning was that I spent little time talking with our other guest who is a friend of the show's and did me a huge favor. Luckily the three of us are long-time friends from back east and no one's feelings were hurt. Phoned the winner of the Chicago trip to see Lollapalooza and gave away Keane tickets in the final moments of the show.

The Guests

Michael Patrick McDonald who wrote the book, "All Souls", about growing up in South Boston (Boston's historical and primarily Irish neighborhood) during the 70s (the era of forced busing) and the 80s (the era of rampant drugs). Christine McCarthy from 90210 and many other TV shows as well as movies you've seen I'm sure. I called her late last night because our scheduled guest cancelled. Michael just happened to be visiting her so she was so kind enough to bring him. Arturo Vega phoned and we discussed the screening of "Rock 'n Roll High School" at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery tonigh. Also a rare in-studio visit from our own Monday Morning Damasheck.

The Songs

The Show

For a very dark day in history we managed to have some fun and I credit our guest. I heard about the events that were taking place and unfolding in London on my drive into the station this morning from Monrovia and was instantly depressed. Liz Warner did the best she could following the story all morning with the limited information that was coming out of England thus far. Discussed the current Dove Soap ad campaign that has been blanketing Los Angeles in the past few days with my guest, knowing where she stood on that issue in advance (I guessed) and we all had a pretty big laugh. Gave away X and Plimsoul tickets and my copy of our guest's book, which she was kind enough to autograph.

The Guests

Writer Liz Tuccillo, who's been on the show before. She's the author (co-author) of the highly successful book, "He's Just Not That Into You", and was one of the writers on the television program "Sex and the City". We are all crazy about her here and consider her part of the MMS family.

12 Contest time (this is a great song).
13 For the tix.

17 Fun one.
18 This is a song from the album that the band's leader, David Alex Barton, sent me this week (I've owned it in the past several times). It's not one of their classic tracs but it reminds me of touring and flying and I really like it. I'll be playing more from this one.
19 I've recently discovered these guys.
20 In the past we've played the acoustic version of this song. I was in the mood for something uplifting.
21 !!!!.
22 Rosie's request.
23 English out and a bonus into the next hour with a London Calling request.
Peace, Dicky

The Show

The show was a bit tricky with performing band complete with tiny amplifiers as well as a snare kit arriving when the tattoo had not yet been completed. Other than that, everyone was fun to have around. We spent time discussing the firing of Danny Bonaduce, one time member of the Partridge Family, more recently a morning DJ on another local radio station. We gave away Pat Benetar tickets and one of the ticket winners gave his ticket to the woman being tattooed. I was probably a little harsh on "War of the Worlds". I called it a turd which might not have been the best or most accurate adjective. I was disappointed by the film to say the least.

The Guests

Lisa Harjo wrote us a heart-wrenching letter about the very rare
disease she has and suffers from. Only 30 people alive have this disease. She said she loved the show and she also loves NASCAR and wanted to get a Tony Stewart "smoke" logo on her arm so we moved things around and called the people at Rubes Tattoo Parlor in Arcadia and the very talented Adam Portillo came by and did the inking. He was accompanied by the Rubes' "jack of all trade" Mr. Rockfish, who's been on the show like four other times and is always fun to have around. The cast of So Alone, which is what Chuck termed a playsical
(combination play and musical), arrived and set up to do some songs. So Alone is the story of Johnny Thunders and was written by William Mittler (go to www.stagesentertainment.com for information). The two covers they performed, "Born to Lose" and "Chinese Rock", sounded quite authentic to me.

The Songs

1. Kill Your Idols- We've Tried Nothing and We're Out of Ideas
2. Partridge Family- I Woke Up in Love This Morning
3. Housemartins- Get Up Off Your Knees
4. Towers of London- On a Noose

11. Rank and File- Rank and File
12. The Cars- Doncha Stop
13. Foo Fighters- Miracle
14. OP Ivy- Take Warning
15. The Clash- Stay Free
16. PJ Harvey- Down By the Water
17. Adolescents- It's Tattoo Time

Friday July 1

THE SHOW

went real well it was our "Fourth of July/Warp Tour" is in the area show. Chuck was very soar from a professional massage he got last night, lot's of grunting, groaning and stretching. Stacey took issue with the way the opening night party for the new bar owed by Tommy Lee and Dave Navarro was being run and Liz was mad at me because I asked Steve van Doren if he could send a different pair of Vans she didn't like the ones that had the skulls. All in all it was a fun one even with all the phone traffic we were dealing with.

THE GUESTS

Steve Van Doren - heir to the vans sneakers fortune and currently on tour with the Vans warped tour called and was very thorough with all of the details of the tour so far he gave us a really good sense of what its like to be on the Vans Warp Tour which he's been on for the last 10 days. Matt from No Use for a Name phoned. I have known Matt for years he was the original bass player in Face to Face and i've been out on several tours with him he was in good spirits and excited about the new no use for a name album. M from Tsunami Bomb called in good spirits as well this is the final warp tour show for them and it was nice to talk to her. Raul ran in to News Guy Willie who he probably handed the phone to so we caught up with willie and and all that is in his world. We got a call after the show from Jordan from Strung Out so we couldn't really talk to him.
