This is from the Telegraph February 23rd 1967 and now the talk back station in Brisbane as it is the only commercial one 4BC was one of Brisbane's popular music radio stations at the time in the 60's which among their disc jockeys were Geoff Atkinson, Tony MacArthur and Graeme Smith(Bob) who took over from Bob Wills the year before having prior to that had been with 4IP were on daily playing the latest records that were out at the time.

This is from the Telegraph February 22nd 1958 and now the classic hits station here in Brisbane 4BH was one of Brisbane's popular radio stations at the time in the late 1950's which among their disc jockeys were Bill Gates who had just been with the station at that time as well as the one who gave the Bee Gees their name and doing the record hops around Brisbane including the O'Connor Boathouse on North Quay was on Sunday nights doing the Charles Hope Half Hour at 5.30pm and These Were Hits at 6.30pm and Allan Brandt who been at 4KQ and later worked at 4IP also on Sunday at 6pm doing TAA Hit Parade with 160 pounds jackpot to be won.

In 1962 Robert Hunter an lyricist and future member of the iconic American rock band the Greatful Dead wrote about the scene in Palop Alto which it's in the San Francisco area as well as meeting future Greatful Dead founding member Jerry Garcia which they did their first gig together for a college audience as well as hanging around coffee shops, Keplers Books and many others and in 1982 Robert Hunter assessed his work which he shared it with close confidants but decided not to release it and after Hunter's passing in 2019 it was found 5 years later which it is out and also I have reviewed the paperback edition as it was just released recently. It is excellent, very impressive and very entertaining which it is well worth a read. It's been 31 years since the end of the Greatful Dead after the passing of Jerry Garcia and 7 years since the passing of Robert Hunter but their work lives on and it's a must for fans of the Greatful Dead which I give it 4 stars as it's in...

It is AWESOME, AMAZING, BRILLIANT and SUPERB with FANTASTIC Footage and FANTASTIC music and it is well worth seeing it which it is like you are watching it live. It is directed by Baz Luhrman who has just done an FANTASTIC and AWESOME job putting it together and it all comes together. It's 49 years this year since the passing of Elvis Presley but the great music and movies he made lives on and it is great to see the interest in Elvis Presley st...
