“PsychoGello Halloween Show”

Mr. Zer0’s Article #128 Oct 2021

For: Twin Cities BUZZ & WDGY

BY: RLSchwinden aka: MrZerr0 

   When I was a kid growing up in Sioux City, IA. & Jackson, MS. my favorite time of year was Christmas, followed by Halloween, 2 of my biggest scores of the year. I loved dressing up, because it was the one day a year you could be anything you wanted to be, I had a real affection for skeletons, I am sure I went as one for more than 2 years in a row. A few costumes I do remember doing from either photographs or memory: “Batman” a Pirate, “Bonz Apart” from Groovy Goolies”, a Gorilla Soldier from “Planet Of The Apes” and a “Green Ghost”. I do remember at my grandma Marge’s house, she had the masks of her  children from previous decades of Halloween’s hung up in the entryway of the house this was so cool. I later tried collecting old Halloween masks. It was just too costly. This year Tiny Oblieon is going as Batman. As this is year 4 for the “PsychoGello Show” I have been running holiday special shows, so after all this time I created the “PsychoGello Halloween Show”  

“Twilight Zone”: TV Theme

CBS 156 Episodes from Oct 1959 toJune 1964

The creator was born “Rod” Rodman Edward Serling: 25 Dec 1924 Syaracuse, NY – 28 June 1975.

I used to watch this show late at night in the early 70s in Sioux City. I remember when Rod died I was living in Jackson, I thought he was so young for that time.

“Black Magic Woman” Fleetwood Mac

March 1968 (#37 hit)

Music history  has forgotten that Peter Green started this band all the way back in 1967 in London, Eng. seems people only  remember the “Buckingham- Nicks” lineup. I saw “FWM” in July 1994 in Des Moine, Iowa when “Bekka”  Rebekka Ruth Lazone Bramlett: 19 April 1968 was the lead vocalist; she is the  daughter of Delaney & Bramlett,  along with Dav Mason on guitar. 

“Spooky” Dusty Springfield 

1970 (#36 hit)

Mary Isobel Catherine Bernadette O’Brian 16 April 1939 London – 2 March 1999

I know this song from the band “The Classics IV” I met their singer Dennis Yost in the late 90s in Des Moines, Iowa.   

“Adams Family” TV Theme

ABC for 64 Episodes Sept 1964 to April 1966

This show I used to watch in the afternoons when we lived in Billings, MT. Summer 1974. I had a chance to meet “Gomez” John Astin in Des Moines in the early 90s, but for some reason I missed out. I once gave Bruce Kulick of KISS, a birthday card with “Uncle Fester” on the front, I drew a mustache on it, and on the inside I wrote “Isn’t this your Brother Bob?” 

“What Ever Happened To Eddie” 1983

“The Munsters” CBS 72 Episodes Sept 1964 to May 1966

Patrick Alan “Butch” Lilley 2 Aug 1953 Inglewood, CA.

After his TV career started to wane, he learned to play Bass Guitar and recorded this 45 Single, he went into stand-up comedy and opened for Monkee’s Peter Tork on Tork’s “New Monks 1982 Tour” I was at a party with Butch in Aug 1990 in Chicago, ILL. When I was a kid I wanted live in a house the the Munster’s house on 1313 Mockingbird Lane, this is what I tried to talk to him about that Sat. nite, he was not too interested in discussing those days.  I heard he got into a bit of trouble that weekend. Remarkably I rented the exact same Apt. he lived in here in St. Paul only a few years earlier.

“Outer Limits” TV Theme

ABC 49 Episodes from Sept 1963 to Jan 1965

By far my all time favorite TV Show, I used to try to stay up late on Sat. nite’s at midnight to watch this show.

I have met several actors Robert Culp, Marion Ross, Grace Lee Whitney, Willam Shatner, Leonard Nimoy & James Doohan. 

“Martian Boogie” Brownsville Station

(#59 hit) Aug 1977

 This band was formed in Ann Arbor, MI. in 1969. I used to see them on “The Midnight Special”. When I lived in Miss. this was a huge hit in our area.  I met their Bass Player Michale Lutz in May 1995 in Ames, Iowa. 

“Werewolves of London” Warren Zevon

(#21 hit) Jan 1978

Born Warren William Zevon 24 Jan 1947 in Chicago, ILL. 7 Sept 2003

I Saw Zevon at “First Ave” Nov 2000. My favorite part of this concert was one time when he was talking to the audience he mentioned something from his past career, and said “Try to find that on your precious internet.” I loved that.  

“Scary Monsters And Super Freaks” David Bowie

(#20 hit) Sep1980

He was born David Robert Jones 8 Jan 1947 London 10 Jan 2016. 

I have always been a Bowie fan, so I had to include one of his songs. 

“Psycho Killer” Talking Heads

(#92 hit) Dec 1977

Formed in NYC in 1975

I lived in Phoenix, when I discovered this band on the TV Show “Pop Clips” I just didn’t get it, much like “Devo” 

“Purple People Eater” Micky Dolenz 

1974 from an abandoned MGM album titled “I Hate Rock N Roll” 

There are 4 surviving tracks from this recording session “Splish Splash” “Wing Walker” and the title track. I am mentioned in the credits for Micky Dolenz  “Live In Japan” released in 2020

“Night Gallery” TV Theme

NBC for 52 Episodes Nov 1969 to June 1973

When my mom went back to work after my sister Margie, her brother Johnny was my babysitter on Saturday nights, which was really more of a “Date Night” for his  girlfriend Ruth S. but before he hustled me off to bed, I would get to watch this show with him that really gave me nightmares and keep me up at night. But I loved it, another Rod Serling creation.

Joan Baez: Article #127

Episode #206

“Not Just A Protest Singer” Joan Baez

Dr. Rox Remember When?  Article #127: Sep 2021

By: RLSchwinden aka MrZerr0

For: Twin Cities Buzz & WDGY: PsychoGello Show & Roseville Patch

 

When I was a kid growing up in Sioux City, I found I was always about 5 years behind when it came to listening to music, I always preferred late 60s music in the early 70s, and especially in my High School years, I hated Disco and most music from the late 70s, none of my friends could ever understand this, but at the same time I could never understand how they liked the current music. I’m pretty sure I first heard about Joan Baez with her hit “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down” on the radio at my Grandma Marge’s, my Grandma was always listening to the radio while she cooked and baked, I would sit in the living room, in my Grandma’s recliner and listen to the radio and enjoy the smells coming from the kitchen. I also loved watching TV, however back then we only had 1 TV with only 4 channels, so pretty much I watched what my Mom wanted to watch.

 

I remember as a kid in Sioux City in 1972 or so seeing a TV Special on the film “Silent Running with Bruce Dern, one of my favorite actors, and it was Joan singing the theme song “Rejoice In The Sun” I remember thinking how beautiful and powerful her voice was, to this day it is one of my very favorite songs. In 1979 I saw a TV Show on “The Celebration Of The 60s” and I heard a couple of The Byrds songs in this show, so I went right down to Woolco at the Sunset Plaza and bought the 1st 2 Byrds Albums for about $1.99 I think it was.

While studing the history of The Byrds, I learned that they covered a lot of the same songs the Baez, did and Judy Collins too for that matter. Songs of Joan’s that ‘The Byrds’ covered “John Riley” “Old Blue” “It’s All Over Now Baby Blue” “I Know You Rider” “Wild Mountain Thyme” “Hickory Wind” “Pretty Boy Floyd”

 

When I was with ‘High Fever’ in 1983 touring the midwest the Lead Guitar player Kurt V. used to sing “Diamonds And Rust” I thought it was an unusual song, he told me it’s a Joan Baez song about her relationship with  Bob Dylan

 

In July ’87 she released her CD “Recently”  I thought it was really cool she did a cover of U2’s “MLK” in 2000 in St. Paul when I was able to  ask her about it she had this to say “Well, I am getting too old to write new songs, I find I don’t have much inspiration to do so anymore, so I let the younger folks write the songs, and I just sing them, when I find a good one” It was about this time, I started listening to Joan Baez (and Judy Collins) I found I really liked Joan’s voice and some of her songs.

 

About early 2000, I was visiting my friend Jack L. a professional Folk Singer – Songwriter out of Sioux City and he was showing me his Joan Baez 1998 Martin 0-45JB guitar (only 59 ever made) while very rare and expensive, I was not taken by this guitar, I felt it was too small for my liking, however this day Jack showed me how to play the song “John Riley”, and English folk ballad based on Homer’s Odyssey, published in English in 1614 . When I saw Joan live for the first time she told a story about this very guitar. JB: “So Martin Guitars called me up and wanted to do a commemorative issue of my prized 1929 Martin 45, I was flattered, and they asked if I would be willing to send my guitar to Martin so they could get exact measurements from my guitar (as they were all handmade back then so some slight differences always existed) I agreed. So after a few days I got a call from the head of Martin Guitars, he said he had something he wanted to share with me. I asked what it was, he asked “Have you ever had any repair work done to your guitar?” I responded “Why yes, I did, sometime in about 1969 it got damaged on the road so I had a local guy do the repair, why do you ask?” he answered “Well, when my techs were going over the guitar making the specifications for the blueprints, we found something curious on the inside of the guitar” JB: “Oh, what did you find?” MG: “A piece of paper stuck on  the inside of the guitar that reads “Too Bad You’re A Communist” placed so that you can read if you put a mirror inside the body” JB: “I guess that guy didn’t like my political viewpoints.” So in keeping with the true reproduction of that guitar there is a piece of paper that has the same words”

 

The 1st time I saw Joan in concert was on 27 Oct 2000 in Minneapolis at O’Shaughnessy. As usual I took my 1 Vinyl and 1 CD, never wanting to be too greedy (graphers). I walked into the auditorium and went over to the merchandise table where her Road Manager Jim was standing, I asked “Does she ever come out and sign?” Jim responded “Good, God, no, she would be mobbed, why what do you have there, an album?” (younger people need to be reminded, NO ONE collected Vinyl again until 2010) I showed him, I brought Joan’s 1st album on Vanguard. He said “Wow, that’s an original” I replied “Yes, I got this album because it contains the song “John Riley” which I named my bird after this song, does she ever do this song in her set?”  Jim responded “Funny you should ask she did that one about a year ago for some fan, so tell you what, go through that door, go down the hall, and out the back, there is the bus, she will be in there” I replied “I know exactly where that is” and off I went, as I walked through the door I could see Joan standing in the front of the bus looking over the parking lot, I motioned to her “Will you sign?” she waved “Hi” and disappeared. I thought “What the heck?” Then she reappeared, she went to put on her coat. She opened the bus door and said “Hi, what can I do for you?” I said “Well, I have a couple things to get signed, if you would” Joan answered “Sure” and signed my Vinyl and CD. I then said to her, “I’d like to tell you a story, you see I named my bird after the song “John Riley” on this album, I was talking to Jim a minute ago and he told me you played this song about a year ago, so at the risk of making it sound like you’re a lounge act, any chance you could play this one tonight?” Joan smiled and said “Wow, that’s an old one, well, it was nice to meet you” So I went inside to the concert.

 

On this specific tour Joan performed 2 sets, the 1st set being 45 min. and the 2nd set about 65 min. (I have a recording of this specific show). Joan performed the 1st set and took a 20 min break. When she came back out, she started off with “I met a young man in the hallway earlier that reminded me, that before I was a “Protest Singer” I was a “Folk Singer” and he asked me about this next song, I sure hope he is out there tonight, because this one is for him, this is “John Riley” and she performed the song. For Me. She followed it up with “So it wasn’t perfect, but I haven’t played that song in a very long time” So as I was walking out of O’Shaughnessy I walked past the merch table to thank Jim. And he shouted excitedly “Were you there? Did you hear it? She sang that just for you!” I responded “I sure did” True Story.

 

And the 2nd time I saw Joan in concert was in March 2003 again at O’Shaughnessy this time with Roger McGuinn of The Byrds as an opening act. As I am walking down the hallway to the door into the auditorium, I hear “St. Paul, St. Paul!” I looked around and it was Joan’s Manager Jim, calling to me. I responded, “Yes, I am from St. Paul” Jim says “No to us you are St.Paul, that’s what  we call you anyway, sorry we didn’t remember your name, you see the last time we were here Joan played that song for you and that was the last time she ever did that for anyone, you are a legend in the Joan community, we talk about you all the time, I hope you  know how lucky you are, that she did that for you” I responded “Yea, I think I do” here’s the setlist for this show.

“MrZerr0’s Favorite Toys” 

Dr. Rox Remember When? 

Article #126; Aug 2021

For: WDGY

By: RL Schwinden aka MrZerr0

   Continuing in the Series “Mr. Zer0’s Favorites” this time around we are going to discuss Mr. Zer0’s Favorite Toys. Especially since Action Figures and Toys are 25% of Mr. Zer0’s Total Business. You see for the past 12 years Mr. Zer0’s has had a constant problem of trying to drive the message home of What We Do: 25% Music: Records & CDs & Cassettes, 25% Retro Toys & Action Figures, 25% Vintage Video Games: Nintendo & Sega & Playstation, and 25% Movies: VHS & DVD , vs. what people think we do and we simply do not carry: EX. Any Type of: Sports, Cigarette, Alcohol, Drug Paraphernalia, Porno, or a Pawn Shop or anything along those lines. Never have and never will. There are plenty of Other Stores Who Do sell that “Stuff”. For a prime example, Today’s Customer Request: “Do you buy Used Gift Cards?” (really, who would?) or even last week’s example “Would you go buy a Cell Phone Card for me and I can pay you later?” (sorry, no, that’s NOT: Music, Games, Toys or Movies), I digress ….

So as I covered last month as a kid I moved 19 times in just 17 years, and my 3 sisters & brother are considerably younger than me, and my Uncle John and Aunts Cat & Laur were not always around. I spent a lot of time alone in my room entertaining myself. One great thing was I had a vivid imagination. And I loved toys and music, NOT Comics or Sports.  Back in the “Olden Days” where I lived we only had 1 TV and 4 Channels on TV; NBC, CBS, ABC & PBS, not even a local station like Des Moines or the Twin Cities, just 4 channels, and No remotes, I was my Mom’s remote, (“Go change it to 14”) and VHS had not been invented yet, so you could not watch a film any time you wanted.

Now I was in a unique situation, my oldest sister is 6 years younger than me, but my Uncle John is 5 1/2 years older than me, and my Aunt Cat is 1 1/2 older and Laur is 5 weeks younger !!!!! I was very close to them growing up. For some odd reason I was really attracted to my Uncle John’s toys, which by the time I discovered them, they were long out of production, for example the “1964 Mattel Zero M Sonic Blaster” “1965  Mattel Creeple Peeple” “1966 Mattel Monkees Talking Hand Puppet” and “1968 Mattel Strange Change Machine”. It just seemed to me all the really cool and interesting toys were my Uncle’s as you could no longer buy them in the stores; this made me want them that much more. So as of today the toys I mostly collect are from 1964 to 1972, if you’re wondering. Now while I have always been a huge fan of The Monkees “Music” I was not a big fan of the toys, I only started collecting the toys in about 1990 and only stepped it up in 2017.

So the 1st toys I can remember being into, was anything “Batman” like the “1966 Ideal Batman Cowl and Cape” which I received for Xmas ’66, I have photos of me wearing it.  And the “1966 Ideal Official Batman 3 Figure Set” which my Aunt Laur and I threw “The Joker” down the heat vent in my grandma’s house, when my Grandparents moved from 1706 Villa in Sioux City, I so wanted to take the ductwork apart to see if I could find that figure, I didn’t. The next big thing for me was the early 60s “1963 Hasbro G.I. Joe” I just loved the weapons and accessories, like the diving helmet, the scuba tanks, the radio, the bayonet, the life raft etc. Here’s a story for you, Uncle Scott’s Mom Ruth, used to work for the Hasbro manufacturing plant in Rhode Island, “I asked how cool, what did you do?” she responded “Putting together Mr. Potato Head bodies” I said “Really, how was that?” she answered “Boring, one day my boss asked me to step up my production, I asked are you gonna pay me more? He said “No” so I said “Then you get what you get” I (Ruth) did used to get to buy Scott (my uncle) G.I. Joe accessories at cost, he has quite the vintage collection, somewhere”

My Mom told me she bought me a Beatles “Yellow Submarine” around 1968, but I don’t remember much about that. Here again while I loved The Beatles music I didn’t much care for the toys, I didn’t start collecting Beatles toys until 1989 or so. I do remember my Dad buying me a gold “1968 Hot Wheels Red Line Barracuda” I did find a replacement for this in Phoenix in 1997.

 Now hanging out with a lot of people 2 to 6 years older than me, I used to see a lot of WWII plastic toy soldiers at other people’s houses, again these were long out of production where I lived, and there were no vintage shops yet. Louis Marx Toy Company began issuing in 1958 through their heyday in 1963. Some of the pieces of sets I saw were;

“1959 Fort Apache” My Cousin Mike had most of it.

“1962 Flintstones” My Uncle John had most of this one.

“1964 Revolutionary War” My neighbor Eugene had a few pieces.

Starting on Xmas 1968 I started getting my own New Sets. The 1st one I got was

“1968 Cape Kennedy” in a metal case.

 In 1972 Marx sold to the Quaker Oats Company, they started re-issuing the sets to Sears and Woolco. I vividly remember my birthday in 1972, my Mom & Dad took me to Woolco at the Sunset Plaza with $5.oo to spend to get a toy. I knew what I wanted. “1972 Battleground” WWII playset, and Nothing else, however it was $7.99 + 2% Sales Tax. Well, like I said I only had $5.oo. The next part of this story is one of my Dad’s shining moments, in my eyes. My Dad asked me “So what did you want to get?” I pointed to “Battleground” he said “But you have $5.00, isn’t there anything else you want?” I said “Nope, just that” he replied “There has to be something else here” I responded “No, just that” he came back with “But you don’t have enough, that toy is $7.99 and you only have $5.oo”  Now I  must point out, it is not that my Dad was unwilling to spend more money, it was that he worked at Woolco making a retail wage, with a wife and 3 kids, it was more he did not have the extra money on that day. I said “Then let’s go home” my Mom tapped him on the shoulder the they spoke really close face to face, my Dad turned around and said “Ok” he counted back the first 3 boxes, grabbed the 4th one, looked at me and said “Never take the one in front” put it under his arm went to the cash register and he paid the difference. Little did he know How He Made My day buying this toy I had wanted for so long. Later in 1977 he did the exact same thing for my birthday but with “KISS: Alive” record LP. I have never forgotten about this Dad. I did get the “1972 Blue & Gray” Civil War set for Xmas ‘73, and the “1975 Prehistoric” Dinosaurs and Cavemen set for my birthday in 1975.

Now, from the very 1st time I saw an ad for “Planet Of The Apes” I was hooked, back then that was my jam, as much as KISS is now. I started collecting anything “Planet Of The Apes” I could. I 1st got the 1973 Aurora model kits, “Dr. Zaius” “Cornelius” “General Ursus” and “General Aldo” as well as the 3 puzzles and board game and 3″ figures and comics.  In 1972 the MEGO toy company started releasing 8″ action figures, on Xmas ’74, I got the “1974 Mego Planet Of The Apes” action figures, “Dr. Zaius” “Gorilla Soldier” and the “Astronaut” and “Ape City” play set.

In about 1975 I started building model kits, from the influence of my next door neighbor Chuck. My favorite manufacturer by far was Tamiya, followed by Monogram, Revell & Aurora. I built everything, from tanks, to jeeps to planes to ships, even cars. As I mentioned it was about 1976 I rediscovered my record collection, Beatles, Monkees, Steppenwolf, Osmond Brothers, Black Sabbath & KISS and I gave up on toys, until about 1990 or so.

And there you have it folks, another installment of MrZerr0’s favorites. Dedicated to my Son Oblieon. Check back next month, for more info!

Mr. Zer0’s Favorite TV Shows:

Dr. Rox Remember When? 

WDGY Article #125: July 2021

By RLSchwinden aka MrZerr0 

 

So when I was growing up my family moved some 19 times in just 17 years, from Iowa to Montana to Mississippi and back to Iowa, yes we moved a lot. It was for various reasons from living in a small Apt to a larger Apt. to renting a house to buying a house to moving  out of state etc. Therefore I attended some 10 schools in  13 years, always being the “New Kid” I watched a lot of TV growing up. Recently I was talking with a friend about how I loved shows that offered the idea of an “Alternate Timeline” but not limited to Sci-Fi, I decided  to cover some of my all time favorite TV Shows and how I discovered them and why I like them.

 

 

“Twilight Zone” 1959 to 1964 for 156 Episodes

When I used to stay at my Grandma Marge’s we, my 2 aunts and & I, used to stay up late, for us, anyway, and this is where I 1st saw this TV show. Back then the TV upstairs had just 2 channels, so we were very limited to what we could watch. However this  show really appealed to my Imagination. Without a doubt my favorite episode was “Two” Episode #66 from 1961

“Outer Limits” 1963 to 1965 for 49 Episodes

Now this show I discovered on my own, in Sioux City this show came on at midnight on Saturday nights. So I would try my hardest to stay awake and watch this show on my little Panasonic Portable TV. Hands down my favorite episode is “Soldier” Episode #34 from 1964.

 

“Star Trek” 1966 to 1969 for 80 Episodes

I am pretty sure I stumbled on this show as a toddler watching “Batman” and “Lost In Space” as well as the next show listed. As a toddler I just knew after dinner these TV Shows I liked were on about  6 to 7 pm, I just ran over to the TV and waited. IProbably my 1st crush was on Actress Grace Lee Whitney. I was able to meet her in MPLS in 2000. I would have to say my favorite episode is “Space Seed” Episode #22 from 1967.

 

“The Monkees” 1966 to 1968 for 58 Episodes. 

Now this one my Father told me I would run to the TV to watch after dinner, and so when my son “Oblieon” was still a baby I would try to get him to sleep by watching this show, when he would hear the opening drum beat he would crawl as a fast as he could over to see the TV, just like me, he seemed to be more interested in the music than the show itself. If I had to pick a favorite I would say “Too Many Girls” Episode #15 from 1966.

 

“Time Tunnel” 1966 to 1967 for 30 Episodes

This one I vaguely remember seeing here and there back then. This is the 1st real show I remember about time travel. As my family had just gone to Disneyland, and I was able to board a wooden sail ship, I fell in love with these vessels, so I would have to say my favorite one from this show is “Pirate’s Of Deadman’s Island” Episode #23 from 1967.

 

“Night Gallery” 1969 to 1973 for 98 Episodes

This show my Uncle John used to watch with Ruth S. on Saturday nights when he was babysitting me. There were 2 episodes that scared me to death, one was about a haunted movie theatre, the other about a merry go round horse. But I guess I would pick, for my favorite “Fright Night” Episode #87 from 1972.

 

“UFO” 1970 to 1971 & 1973 for 26 Episodes

Now this show I vividly remember as a young boy on 34th & Douglas street, Sunday afternoons about 5pm on PBS. It seemed so much more “New” than “Star Trek” and the episode that freaked me out was “The Man Who Came Back” Episode #16 from 1971.

 

“Partridge Family” 1970 to 1974 for 96 Episodes 

This show my Aunt Cat got me into because she was getting the records and she showed me the TV on Friday nights. I remember Friday night family dinner from McDonald’s and we would watch “Wait Til Your Father Gets Home” then this show. As I have loved Annetyte O’Toole literally all of my life,   I would pick “Partridge Up A Pear Tree” Episode #21 from 1971.

There was also a cartoon from 1974 to 1975 for 16 Episodes.

 

“Planet Of The Apes” 1974 for 14 Episodes

Yes, it’s true, they made the movies into a TV series, and I could not wait. We just moved to Jackson, MS. and I had no friends but my Uncle Tom so I eagerly awaited every Friday night, except one night the show was preempted. I had to wait about 30 years when this show came out on DVD to see that particular episode. My favorite from this series is “The Trap” Episode #3 from 1974

They made a cartoon series too  “Return To The Planet Of The Apes” 1975 to 1976 for 13 Episodes “The Unearthly Prophecy”  Episode #3 from 1975.

 

“Kolchack: Night Stalker” 1974 to  1975  for 20 Episodes

Here’s another one I found myself being home on Friday nights with no friends in Miss. Another show that scared me to death.

“They Have Been, They Are, They Will Be…” Episode #3 from 1974

 

“Young Ones” 1982 for 1984 for 12 Episodes

Now this show I was introduced to by my former Lead Guitarist Paul “Snake” K. as he liked the scene with ‘Motorhead’ so I checked out a few shows and realized it was an updated version of “The Monkees” but way more funny. For my favorite I would choose

“Time” Episode #4 from 1984.

 

“Voyagers” 1982 to 1983 for 20 Episodes 

Having just moved to Des Moines, IA. in 1984, again having not many friends, being home alone on a Friday night I somehow caught this show, with my favorite theme “Alternate Timeline” and “Time Travel” I would have to choose this one as my favorite “The Day The Rebs Took Lincoln” Episode #7.

 

“NYPD Blue” 1993 to 2005 for 261 Episodes 

NOw I vividly remember how I caught this show Andy Sipowicz calls a pimp “Swizzle Stick” and this struck me as so funny, I began watching this show from that point on. I have to say by now I have watched every episode at least 5 times. I fell in love  with Charlotte Ross. Many people close to me  will tell you I  am a lot like “Sipowicz”  The one that hit home for me was “Danny Boy” #116 from 1998

 

“Sliders” 1995 to 2000 for 88 Episodes

Yet another show I discovered sitting home alone on a Friday night, which was ok by me, as I loved how many different ideas this show came up with in the “Alternate Timeline” I found it fascinating. It’s hard to chose which one is my favorite so I will pick so I’ll list these 2;

“Summer Of Love” Episode #6 from 1995  “Invasion”   Episode #22 from 1996

 

“Homicide Life On The Streets” 1993 to 1999 for 122 Episodes 

Ok, a pattern is starting to emerge here, another show I stumbled on sitting home on a Friday night. I was blown away by Andre Braugher I just loved the way he spoke. I remember when the show got canceled, I was devastated, but my co-worker Hiu Ho told me “You can always watch it in reruns” she was so smart and cool. The one that hooked me was “Every Mother’s Son” #22 from  1995

 

“Brimstone” 1998- 1999 for 13 Episodes

Unbelievably another Friday night find, I liked this show because there were no blurred lines of good vs bad. Also one of the regular cast, I went to North Jr. with Lori Petty.  My favorite is one I actually watched with my gal at the time. “It’s  A Helluva Life” Episode #12 from 1999

 

“Flight Of The Conchords” 2007 to 2009 for 22 Episodes

This would be the newest addition to my list. My good friends Nick and Imogene turned me onto this show a few years ago. At first I did not know what to think then I saw Episode #7 “Drive By” as I think Sarah Wynter is the most beautiful woman who ever lived, my favorite is

“Unnatural Love” Episode  #17 from 2009

 

Well there you have folks, some suggestions for 13 hours of TV viewing that you not have seen before. Next time I think I will cover Books as my little man Oblieon Loves Books.

“Missy Marrz”

Dr. Rox Remember When?  

Article #124 June 2021

By: RLSchwinden aka MrZerr0 

 

So in June 2003 I moved to Eagan, and soon after my new neighbors, Bonz & Family moved in. Within a couple years they introduced me to the wife’s childhood friend “Missy”. In 2009 I opened Mr. Zer0’s Roseville 55113. In 2010 Missy wandered in, and we began to talk, turns out Missy and I had some of the exact same taste in music. In early 2012 I needed a Model for Mr. Zer0’s I asked Missy, If she would be interested, she said yes she was, this began a nearly 10 year musical friendship. At 1st she was just a photo model and appeared in our commercials. In 2015 Missy played a few songs in person in Mr. Zer0’s, In April 2018 we had Missy play our 9th “National Record Store Day” the following month we had Missy play “Maverick’s” next door. Then the following month Missy made her 1st of 12 appearances on Mr. Zer0’s “PsychoGello Show” Missy got so popular she was courted by WDGY & WVIC. Later around this same time   I produced a Demo CD of 12 songs mostly originals and a few covers for Missy. In 2018 she wrote and recorded our theme song “Mr. Zero And Me”. Missy played in several local bands “PopShot” “Dirty Reggae Punks” & “Fabulous Mushroomz”. Well in June Missy moved away to “the Hand” state, but before she left we managed to crank out 2 more “PsychoGello Shows” so here we go the tribute to Missy Marrz.

The Guitarists That Changed The Face Of Music

“Guitarists That Changed The Face Of Music”

Dr. Rox Remember When?

Article #123: May 2021

By: RL Schwinden aka MrZerr0

 

When I was a kid growing up on the Westside of Sioux City, I loved music and though my Dad (Bill Jr.) was a drummer, I was drawn to the guitar on songs like Beatles: “Day Tripper” with George Harrison and Monkees “Last Train To Clarksville” with Gerry McGee on Lead Guitar and Osmonds “Hold Her Tight” with Wayne Osmond on Lead Guitar. In 1971 my Uncle Jeff gave me  my 1st guitar an Egmund acoustic, it was  hard enough to play  that thing, much less to play Leads on it, so I resided myself to playing Rhythm Guitar. Though I always wanted to play Lead Guitar, like my Uncle Jeff’s acquaintance Tommy Bolin from 27th and Clark who had just left Sioux City and put out the 1st Zephyr Album in 1969.

 

In 1973 my Dad bought me a WB Records 4 LP set that had artists like Black Sabbath, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin etc. it was then I really discovered the power of the Lead Guitar, and I really began to research the artists I had admired so much. In about 1982 I read an interview with Tony Iommi, who had mentioned he was talking to Pete Willis, from Def Leppard, and Willis had this to say “When it comes to learning how to imitate your guitar idols, the best way to do this is to find out Who, they were influenced by, obtain some records by those influenced your hero and start there, you will have a better understanding of that guitarist’s style. Take my band’s (Def Leppard) guitarists, myself and (Steve) Clark, he studied music, so he knows the theory and rules, I studied my heroes influences, so I (Willis) don’t” This set me on a journey of researching who influenced the guitarist I admired, which eventually lead to me compiling this list, and eventually creating this 2 part radio show for WDGY.

 

“PsychoGello Show Episode #192” 9 May 2021 on Radi0 WDGY

 

Chuck Berry: “Roll  Over Beethoven” May 1956 (#42)

Charles Edward Anderson Berry: 18 Oct 1926 St. Louis, MO. – 8 Mar 2017

25 Albums and 54 Singles

In my opinion the Originator, all things “Rock” Guitar extend from Chuck Berry, though Chuck took lessons from Ira Harris, it was Berry that put out the Rock N Roll Records, with the 2 string  “E-B” & “B-G” bends, the foundation of the Rock Lead Solo.

 

Jimi Hendrix: “Voodoo Chile (slight return) Oct 1968

Johnny Allen Hendrix : 27 Nov 1942 Seattle, WA. – 18 Nov 1970

5 Albums and 11 Singles

So Chuck Berry invented the Rock N Roll guitar style, Hendrix took the guitar to a whole new level, with his usage of the “Wah Wah Pedal” and the “Tremolo Bar” and “Fuzz Face” distortion pedal. Using all of these to create a whole new sound by rethinking the way the guitar was played.

One of Jimi’s main influences was Eddie Cochran.

 

Jimmy Page: “Four Sticks” Nov 1971

James Patrick Page: 9 Jan 1944 Middlesex, ENG.

Yardbirds: 1 Album and 4 Singles, Led Zeppelin:13 Albums and 12 Singles,  The Firm: 2 Albums,  Solo: 10 Albums and 1 Single.

While Page started out as a “Session Player” he went on to join the Yardbirds, eventually replacing Jeff Beck, though not nearly as innovative as Hendrix, he did bring forth a new kind of music with Led Zeppelin, no doubt the most popular band of all time.

One of Jimmy’s main influences was Hank Marvin.

 

Tommy Bolin: “Wild Dogs” Nov 1975

Thomas Richard Michael Bolin: 1 Aug 1951: Sioux City, IA. 4 Dec 1976

Zephyr: 3 Albums and 2 Singles, Billy Cobham: 1 Album, James Gang: 2 Albums and 3 Singles  Alphonse  Mouzon: 1 Album, Moxy: 1 Album, Deep Purple: 2 Albums and 2 Singles,  Solo: 2 Albums and 3 Singles

Unfortunately, Tommy is not a household name and is often confused with Marc Bolan of “T-Rex”. Bolin’s contribution to the guitar world was that he was a Jazz Guitar Player, playing “Rock Music” using a totally different approach, as well as the Master of the “Echoplex”.

One of Tommy’s main influences was Wes Montgomery.

 

Edward Van Halen: “Atomic Punk” Feb 1978

Edvard  Lodevijk Van Halen: 26 Jan 1955: Amsterdam, Holland – 6 Oct 2020

14 Albums and 58 Singles

Undoubtedly the last true innovator of the electric guitar, Edward is the 3rd of what I like to call “The Big 3”, he really was the 1st one since Hendrix to take the guitar in a totally different direction, with his usage of “Finger Tapping” and the “Phaser” and “Flanger” pedals.

One of Eddie’s main influences was Allan Holdsworth.

 

Randy Rhodes: “Over The Mountain” Nov 1981

Randall William Rhodes: 6 Dec 1956: Santa Monica, Ca. -19 Mar 1982

Quiet Riot: 3 Albums and 3 Singles,  Blizzard Of Ozz: 3 Albums.

Not nearly as original as Edward Van Halen, Rhodes, much like Bolin, did take a unique approach to his playing. Randy a “Classically” trained guitarist applied those techniques in playing Rock Guitar.

One of Randy’s main influences was Andreas Segovia.

 

The Edge (U2): “Bullet The Blue Sky” Mar 1987

David Howell Evans: 8 Aug 1961: Dublin, IRE.

21 Albums and 71 Singles.

Edge, though not as flashy as some others on this list, was added because of his innovation with usage of the “Delay” pedal and slide guitar technique. I will also state I chose Edge for this list almost 2 decades before the 2008 film “It Might Get Loud”.

One of Edge’s main influences was Rory Gallagher.

 

“PsychoGello Show Episode #194” 23 May 2021 on radio WDGY 

 

Les Paul: “How High The Moon” Mar 1951

Lester William Polsfuss: 9 Jun 1915: Waukesha, WI. – 12 Aug 2009

12 Albums and 54 Singles.

Les built a prototype of the 1st “Electric Guitar” dubbed “The Log” and pioneered “Multi Track Recording” while generally a “Country” or “Big Band” guitarist, he does have the most famous “Rock Guitar” named after him “Les Paul”.

 

Eric Clapton: “Badge” Feb 1969

Eric Patrick Clapton: 30 Mar 1945: Surrey, ENG.

Yardbirds: 2 Albums and 3 Singles  Cream: 6 Albums  Derek & Dominos:1 Album, , Blind Faith: 2 Albums,  Plastic Ono Band: 1 Album, Delaney & Bonnie: 1 Album, Solo:30 Albums and 55 Singles, as well as 60 other Guest Appearances.

Originally a “Blues” guitarist Clapton took his style in a new direction with the Yardbirds and then Cream creating the extend jam solo.

One of Eric’s main influences was Robert Johnson.

 

Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath): “Fairies Wear Boots” Sep 1970

Anthony Frank Iommi: 19 Feb 1948: Birmingham, ENG.

Black Sabbath; 27 Albums and 34 Singles: Solo: 3 Albums.

Iommi is added to this list for his innovations such as: tuning down a step and a half to “C#” creating the 1st set of “Light Gauge Strings” .008 to .032, and more importantly creating his own prosthetic finger tips, all of this lead to the creation of  ”Heavy Metal” though the phrase was coined by Mars Bonfire of “Sparrow” in 1968.

One of Tony’s main influences was Django Reinhardt.

 

Ace Frehley: “Let Me Go Rock And Roll” Oct 1974

Paul Daniel Frehley: 27 Apr 1951 Bronx, NY

KISS:15 Albums,  Solo: 13 Albums and 17 Singles.

I have added Ace, not just because he is one of my favorites, but more so that he combined, Page, Clapton & Hendrix to create a style that launched 1000s of other guitarists.

 

Brian May: “Now I’m Here” Nov 1974

Brian Harold May: 19 July 1947: London, ENG.

Queen: 22 Albums and 55 Singles, Solo: 4 Albums.

Much like Edge, I added May, because of his innovations, Brian and his father built his own guitar the “Red Special” and he uses an English Sixpence as a guitar pick, to create his unique sound.

One of Brian’s main influences was Jimi Hendrix.

 

Jeff Beck: “Freeway Jam” July 1975

Geoffrey Arnold Beck: 24 June 1944: Surrey, ENG.

Yardbirds: 5 Albums and 10 Singles, Solo: 20 Albums and 18 Singles.

While Beck replaced Clapton in the Yardbirds, Jeff came into his own later taking a cue from “Cobham’s Spectrum” Album and taking the Instrumental guitar in a whole new direction.

One of Jeff’s main influences was Chet Atkins.

 

Gary Moore: “Back On The Streets” Sep 1978

Robert William Gary Moore: 4 Apr 1952: Belfast, N. Ire. – 6 Feb 2001

Thin Lizzy: 1 Album, Solo: 27 Albums and 55 Singles.

I felt I had to add Gary as in the age of “Speed and Flash” Moore continued to crank out the blues. Truthfully I prefer Gary’s voice to his playing, I still feel he is one of the greats.

One of Gary’s main influences was John Mayall.

12 Years For Mr. Zer0’s 55113

Posted on by mrzeros1@gmail.com Posted in Articles — No Comments ↓
25 april 2021

“Years 10 & 4 & 12 & 8 For Mr. Zer0’s”

Dr. Rox Remember When? 

Article #122: April 2021

By: RLSchwinden aka MrZerr0 

 

– The Music Column- 2011

Can you believe it fans, this month April marks the 10 years I have been writing this article! True this article started out at 1st for the “St. Cloud BUZZ” back in 2010 through 2016, which crossed over to “Roseville Patch” in March 2013, but essentially it’s the same article.

Back in April 2011 Izzy Presley from “Rockin 101” in St. Cloud asked me to write for their local newspaper “The BUZZ” I accepted the job, my 1st article was on the greatest musician that ever lived “Jimi Hendrix”. In Mar 2013 Scott Carlson asked me to write for Roseville Patch, so for about 3 years I just ran the “BUZZ” article on “Patch” my 1st one that crossed over was in March 2013 on Michael Nesmith (Monkees).  I have written 122 articles now, in total, I believe most, if not all of my articles on www.RosevillePatch.Com I know for sure they are all available at www.MrZeroS.Com under “Blog”

 

-The Radio Show- 2017

This month marks the 4 year anniversary of “Mr. Zer0’s PsychoGello Show” on WDGY. In April 2017, Keith Johnson of “Ground Breakers” (& Madd CO.) asked me to make a 30min demo radio show to demo for him. The show we (Terrance S.) and put together was on “The Monkees”. To date I have created 191 “PsychoGello Shows” for WDGY. The 1st year and half I was on at 10:30 to 11am. Then in Jan 2019, the station moved my show to 7am to reach a new audience, so that’s where you can find me currently 7am Sunday mornings.

To celebrate this momentous occasion I created a 4 part “MrZerr0’s Favs” shows. You can see the set lists below.

 

-The Retail Store- 2009

This month also marks the 12th anniversary of Mr. Zer0’s 55113 in Roseville. If you can believe it was the 14 April 2009, that Steven H. and LaMar St.C. and John L. and Aaron McF. and a whole host of others put “Mr. Zer0’s” into existence. I came up with the idea after leaving DiscLand in Bloomington and talking to a Record Dealer at a RecordShow in New Brighton. So I went into action, I rounded up a record dealer, a book dealer and an antique dealer etc. I rented a space and brought them all together under one sign. “Mr.Zer0’s” I took the name from The Monkees TV Show Episode #52: Feb 1968 “Devil And Peter Tork” when Peter accidentally sells his soul to MrZero (the devil) for the ability to play the harp. A little later on I met Jose Delbo, who worked on Monkees Comics and the Beatles “Yellow Submarine” I was able to get him to create a MrZero character for our store.

 

This feat alone is just amazing especially since we have survived the “Cellphone Lookup” beginning in 2010. The dozens of Recordstores, Gaming Stores and Toy, Collectibles stores popping up all over the Twin Cities since 2010, after we opened up. The constant barrage of “Keyboard Warriors & Haters” that plague Mr. Zer0’s, because they did not get what they wanted. (Cool merchandise Costs Money) Then the disaster of 2020, 1st it was the “Covid 19 Lockdown” from March, April & May of 2020. Then no sooner were we able to reopen up, the “Uptown and City Wide Riots” broke out forcing us to install metal bars and board up our windows, which some do not realize all of this costs a business money. Then after the riots calmed down, that is when we started getting vandals! Then in Dec 2020, during our busiest time of year, the “C19 Curfew” where most businesses were closing at 7pm, to grossly affect 4th quarter sales.

 

Then the Final Devastating Blow: -2021

Somehow we managed to survive all of the above In January 2021, I held a meeting with what few partners we had left and stated “Folks, we have been here 11 Years, it is time, either we Close, Move, Expand or Remodel.” it was about a 50/50 split amongst the remaining partners. Exactly 1 week later Mr. Zer0’s 55113, was Robbed for over $7000.oo in damages and Over $9000.oo Loss in Cash And Product. KILLING ALL Future Plans for Mr. Zer0’s for exactly Who Knows When? Then we lost our storage unit containing the new fixtures for the new location, because we could not afford to pay the bill. Try to contemplate $16,000.oo (Sixteen Thousand Dollars) In Losses. So we had to move many of the fixtures into our overcrowded store. So currently Mr. Zer0’s is in a mess because of the state of flux.

 

-The Tribute Band- 2013

Unbelievably April also marks the 8th anniversary of “KISSin Time” founded in April 2013, by Greg C. MN. Pete Campbell, Paul Helms & myself. Now there has been a whole host of people in the band over the years, like; Xenia, JAce, Robyn Krystal, Joe Marvelous, Ryan Dodge, Tony W. Paul L. Nate McN. David M.

and a few others. Today’s Line Up Is: Hevy Kevy Fransen (2017), Gonzo $immon$ (2019), Topp Jimmy Woynilko (2020) and myself (2013). KISSin Time recreates the early Tours Of KISS, when many were just too young to see the band back then, a show by fans for the fans (the hard core fans) we have a 7 foot sign, Spaceman uses a Smoking Guitar, the Demon spits blood, Starchild breaks a guitar, the Catman tosses out sticks and drumheads for you fans. You can catch KISSin Time: ALive!

St. Patrick’s Day at Mr. Zer0’s

“Thin Lizzy: The Poet From Crumlin”

Dr. Rox Remember When? 

WDGY: Article #121 March 2021

By: RLSchwinden aka MrZerr0

 

So it’s Mr. Zer0’s 12th St. Patrick’s Day in this location. so I did a “St. Patrick’s Day” Show for my #185 show for WDGY. My Grandma’s last name being Doughty, I grew up very Irish Catholic on the west side of Sioux City. In 2019 my good friend Evangeline got me a DNA test for my birthday, turns out I am 31% Irish. When I was a kid in Brandon (Jackson), Miss.  I heard “Boys Are Back In Town” on the radio, I thought it was a pretty good song. When we moved back to Sioux City in 1978, it seemed like anyone’s house I went to, someone was always playing Thin Lizzy on the stereo.

 

Being young and poor, I used to walk to Sunset Plaza and go  through the “Cut-Out Records” bins at Woolco, looking to buy the most records for my $5.oo weekly allowance, the “Cut-Outs” you could find older albums from .99 to $2.99. One day I was looking through them and I stumbled on 2 albums by Thin Lizzy “Johnny The Fox” & “Bad Reputation” I remember thinking “I liked that song “Boys Are Back In Town” and everybody I know is playing “Live And Dangerous” maybe I’ll like these songs” so I got them both sealed for $1.99 + TAX ! which ate up my $5.oo. I took them home and found out I loved most of  “Johnny The Fox” and a lot of “Bad Reputation” about a year later I met a guitar player Michael who learned most of “Live And Dangerous” he encouraged me to learn the songs on there so we could jam. Alas I was just Not That Good. About a year after that I met another guitar player Miles H. who was a dead ringer for Scott Gorham, the guitar player in Thin Lizzy, although his jam was anything Joe Walsh, he taught me “Disco Strangler” by The Eagles, in the boiler room of a closed school where he used to jam.

 

In Dec 1982 I heard Johnnie Bolin’s band “DVC” perform “Hollywood” at The Patio in Sioux City. When I was with “High Fever” in 1983 touring the Mid-West, the band bought the Cassette, as you could not play a record in the car or even in some clubs, at that time, of “Thunder And Lightning” I remember at the time thinking this was a Great Cassette! So little by little I began to buy up most of their catalog on Cassette, Records and then CD, because when I get into an Artist, I really get into that artist, having said that, I think my favorites in order are: “Thunder And Lightning” “Johnny The Fox” “Renegade” “Bad Reputation” & “Black Rose”. In 2005 there was a statue erected of Lynott in Dublin, in 2018 my friend Damian P. took one of Mr. Zer0’s T-Shirts back to Dublin with him to take a photo of Mr. Zer0’s shirts next to the statue of Phil.

 

It was only in recent years I learned of where the name came from, the UK Comic “The Dandy” and “The Beano” there was a female robot called “Tin Lizzy” Downey thought this would be a good name and Lynott added the “H” because in Ireland, most people do not pronounce the “Th” in words. and I was shocked to find out how many guest appearances the memebers made including Lynott who played on Johnny Thunders 1978 album “So Alone” and from  that Lynott and 2 other members of Thin  Lizzy with 2 memebers of the Sex Pistols formed “The Greedies” and a UK Christmas Single “A Merry Jingle” which will  be on my 4th Annual WDGY X-Mass Show in Dec 2021. About 2016 I decided to put together a Tribute Band to Thin Lizzy, with myself singing lead and playing bass, and MN Pete on drums as Downey is his favorite drummer. Since I was playing the part of Phil, we decided on the name “White Lizzy” unfortunately I have yet to find 2 guitarists to work together like Robertson & Gorham did, back in the day. I did see Gorham and Sykes in St. Paul on 24 Aug 2004, I saw Gorham again in April 2018 in MPLS.

 

So being March and Thin Lizzy being one of the most famous bands to come out of Ireland I decided to revisit Thin Lizzy and make Episode #186 Thin Lizzy Part 2B. Still in March I thought I should make my next “Cover Up” Show Program #5 on Thin Lizzy, too. Down below you will find the set list for these shows.

Cover Up Show #4

“Bang A Gong, Not Teaser” 

Dr. Rox Remember When? 

WDGY: Article #120: Feb 2021

By: RLSchwinden aka MrZerr0

 

So when I was a kid growing up in Sioux City, Iowa where I got my music interests from, basically was my Uncles; Jeff S. & John U. or my Aunt Cat, as there wasn’t, much to choose from as far as Radi0 went, my memory was 3 stations; KMNS, KTRI & KSCJ, I do vividly remember taking an interest in Top 40 Radio as soon as Summer 1972, but for some reason they were still playing Top 40 hits on the radio from the  previous year,  when I 1st remember hearing “Get It On, Bang A Gong” a #10 hit. I thought it was a really cool song, but I never heard of them before or since that song, until later in 1980, or 81 when Joe Elliott of Def Leppard, had mentioned in a interview that one of his main influences was “T-Rex” and that he and the other members of “Def Leppard”  had permed their hair to resemble Marc Bolan of “T-Rex” now at that time I loved Def Leppard’s “High N Dry” album and later their “Pyromania” album. In late 1985 I was in a Cover-Original Band “Scepter” in Des Moines, Iowa, one of the cover songs we did at that time was “Get It On, Bang A Gong” as Robert Palmer & half of “Duran Duran” had a hit with it at the time. I am a huge Ringo Starr fan and one time in an interview he stated that “The song “Back Off Boogaloo” was about Paul McCartney, but was informally written with Marc Bolan at dinner at my (Ringo’s) house one night”

 

So I thought “Well, then this T-Rex must be great so one of the 1st vinyl records I bought when I 1st started at “RecordShop” in Valley West Mall was 1985’s “T-Rextasy” on WB records, um …. I was a little disappointed … while I loved “20th Century Boy” the only other song I really enjoyed was “Summertime Blues” I had heard  “Jeepster” covered by “Davy Jones & Toast” from a cassette bootleg of their 1977 US Tour, and I thought it  was kind of a funny song. Little did I know at the time the 1st 5 albums by T-Rex, they were essentially a folk duo, that used to be classified as “Beatnik Music” as I had seen the cover of “Electric Warrior” I was miss lead to think “T-Rex” was in the ranks of Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin & Alice Cooper, wow, was I wrong. So the next vinyl I purchased on T-Rex was  “Electric Warrior”  then “Slider” which contained “Buick Mackane”  then “Tanx” which had “Country Honey” and finally “Unicorn” , at that time back then, T-Rex, was just a near miss for me ….

 

In 1995 to 1998 I worked for “Worst Buyz Co” and in their Corporate Newsletter in 1996  (which I Still Own this particular Issue) they announced their own CD Label “Master Tone” (no really made Vinyl from 1987 to 2012, therefore No ONe was able to Buy Vinyl from this period)  would be releasing an extensive catalog of BBC Recordings by almost 100 Artists, such as Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, R.E.M. Jethro Tull & T-Rex to name a few, and these titles would only be available at their own stores. Ultimately they only released 5; T-Rex, Jethro Tull and 2 others and a Led Zeppelin “Interviews” CD. Somehow it did NOT dawn on the “Big Box Giant Retailers” that while they may have stuck a deal with the BBC, they did NOT have a deal to distribute certain bands music, the was still own and controlled by the respective Publishers, Song Writers, Artists and the Record Labels who owned them. Because of these Laws in the Music Industry, “Master Tone” was reduced to releasing Interview CDs with a Booklet to recoup their investment losses, to be fair, those releases are kinda cool for the hard core collector

 

Jump ahead a few years ago (12 to be exact) when I opened Mr. Zer0’s 55113 in Roseville. As soon as we opened droves of people came in asking for T-Rex vinyl, we brought in a few from Calif. and they were priced about $50.oo each, they sold immediately. So much so I decided I needed to look deeper into this T-Rex. Only a few years earlier than this I began to fly the banner of Tommy R. Bolin from Sioux City, Iowa, and I kept running into the same reaction; “Oh yea, I really like that song he had “Bang A Gong” then I would respond “No, that’s T-Rex, Tommy Bolin, was in DEEP PURPLE & JAMES GANG” to add to the confusion, Marc died a mere 9 months after Tommy did.  Moving ahead a few more years to 2017 when I got my gig at WDGY, Tommy Bolin was “PsychoGello Show” #3 and T-Rex was Show #22, in a effort to distinguish  to 2 from each other. So once again I delved into the catalog of T-Rex, only to reassure myself that T-Rex was really a Beatnik Duo. I remember about 2018 or so the “T-Rex Tribute Band: Electric Warrior” was playing the “Turf Club” in St. Paul, I really wanted to go but did not make it there for some reason.  Then I met an artist Taylor James Ellis, who has created many artworks for Mr. Zer0’s, because he came into the store in search of T-Rex Vinyl. So after all this I have listened to most of T-Rex’s catalog which is far more on 45 Singles than full length albums, to find there are a few songs of T-Rex, I Really Love: “Cadillac” “Laser Love” “20th Century Boy” “Buick Mackane” & “Summertime Blues” . So there it is fans, my personal experience on T-Rex. And now a brief history and their discography;

 

He was born Mark Feld on 30 Sept 1947 in London, ENG. and passed on 16 Sept 1977. Formed in late 1967 after “John’s Children” “Tyrannosaurus Rex” was just Bolan and percussionist Steven Peregrin Took: 1949 -1980; London. Later replacing Took with Mickey Finn: 1947 -2003; Surrey. in 1971 they added Bassist Steve Currie: 1947 -1981; Lincolnshire, ENG. was also killed in a car crash like Bolan) & Drummer Bill Legend: 1947 Essex, ENG. & Vocalist (and lover) Gloria Richetta Jones: 19 Oct 1945; Cincinnati, OH. and several others over the years.

Mr. Zer0’s New Podcast “Cover Up”

Mr. Zer0’s “Cover Up Show”

Dr. Rox Remember When? 

Article #119 Jan 2021

By: RLSchwinden aka MrZerr0

 

Here we are, and welcome to the show. So it’s 2021, and this is our 1st Article of the New Year. So I was thinking back to when I 1st started writing this Article for “St. Cloud, MN. Buzz” back in April 2011 (to 2016), back then I was submitting “Cover Songs” for a Show that DJ Izzy Presley had on “Rockin 101” I believe the show was called “Under The Covers”. So back in Dec 2020, while driving back from Des Moines  after “KISSin Time” played “Wooly’s” I was thinking about what I could do that was new for my 3 different Radio Shows, the 1st idea I had was based on a show I did: “Tribute to Bob Dylan” which aired on WDGY in Nov 2020.

 

I thought this was a really cool idea, but I needed a name, so I thought since everyone calls me a  conspiracy theorist, I should run with that theme, hence I came up with the name “Cover Up”. What the new show would consist of is about a half hour of a featured artist with “Cover Songs” from all different styles of music. Well I pitched the idea to my powers that be, and I was unable to secure a station that would or could air my new show. So I decided this new show was just too good of an idea to let it fade away. And so for now, I will release 1 new “Cover Up” Show every month on www.MrZeroS.Com -Podcast ! With that I am releasing the info for the first 3 “Cover Up” shows that you will be able to listen to on Mr. Zer0’s website, and hopefully this show will be picked up by a local station like WVIC here in St. Paul. Enjoy the read and check out the website.
