Riot on Sunset Strip's Interests
|
| General | Modernist Architecture, Pre-1970 Surf Culture, Tikis, Bossa Nova, Alexander Girard, Nite Clubs, Oceanography | | Music | pretty much everything prior to 1967, Punk Rock. Currently digging the band "War" and all their pre-incarnations during the '60s: "The Creators," "Afro-Blues Quintet + 1" and "Senor Soul" | | Movies | The T.A.M.I. Show, The Big T.N.T. Show, The Cool Ones, It's A Bikini World, Village of the Giants, Riot on Sunset Strip, The Endless Summer, High School Confidential, The Girl Can't Help It, A Hard Day's Night, Tarzan and Jane Regained... Sort Of (Warhol's 1963 film shot in L.A.), Peter Sellers in Dr. Strangelove, The Party, I Love You Alice B. Tolkas, The Magic Christian and Being There. The Marx Brothers (films and LPs). Richard Pryor (LPs and films). Tie: Beach Party and Muscle Beach Party | | Television | Sea Hunt, Malibu U, Groovy (favorite show, ever), Surf's Up with Stan Richards, Surfing With Bill Burrud, Hollywood a Go Go (other favorite show, ever), Ready Steady Go, Shindig!, Ralph Story's Los Angeles, Johnny Stacatto, 77 Sunset Strip, Peter Gunn, Route 66, Hawaiian Eye, The Outer Limits, Gidget, Karen (90 Bristol Court), Leave It To Beaver, You Bet Your Life, The Addams Family, I Dream of Jeanie, The Monkees, Batman, Laugh In, Hee Haw, The Dating Game, !!!The Beat!!!, Soul (PBS), Soul Train, Black Omnibus, The Gilmore Girls, The Office, Sanford and Son, Meet the Press, Real Time With Bill Maher, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, TV Nation, Tijuana: Window to the South, Origami (KCET, 1960s L.A.

Tom Hatten should be hosting both Turner Movie Classics and AMC 24/7 by the way. He knows a hell of a lot more about Hollywood detail than all those guys combined, doesn't seem old and snobby and is a hell of a lot more fun.

Davis, W. Davis, F. Howard, J. Podres, R. Perranoski - the 1963 L.A. Dodgers, man - that year only, N.Y. baseball observer, otherwise) and the little beatnik guy who bangs out crime-solving clues on his bongos during the Dick Tracy cartoon show. |

About me:
"Riot on Sunset Strip: Rock 'n' Roll's Last Stand in Hollywood" (Jawbone Press, London, 2007) is a book yours truly, Domenic Priore, took 9 years to write; it's got many previously unseen photos (about 250 overall) of the mid-'60s scene. My new book "Pop Surf Culture: Music, Design, Film and Fashion from the Bohemian Surf Boom" (Santa Monica Press, 2008) is a collaboration with Brian Chidester, who works with me on a colourful, photo-based blog, go to: www.dumbangelmagazine.com)
For a definitive scope on the music of the "Riot on Sunset Strip" book, go to the archive of WFMU, ( wfmu.org ) to hear a boss radio gig on The Gaylord Fields Show, as broadcast Sunday, July 29, 2007 from 5-7 p.m. Honored to be referred to as "The Dean of California Pop Culture" by the heppest cats in New York City.
