We here at Jive World HQ are super saddened to note the passing of the great Paul Barrere, guitarist and singer for one of the greatest goddang bands in the history of Rock n Roll, LITTLE FEAT. Paul was 71, and his departure was due to liver cancer.
Not as well known as Feat Founder Lowell George, Paul was excruciatingly important to Little Feat’s overall Mega-Awesomeness. Co-writer of Romance Dance, All That You Dream, Hi Roller, Time Loves A Hero, Old Folks Boogie, and more, he was an essential part of this essential American band.
You want to have a great tribute to Barrere tonight…..and a real good party, too? Listen to the incredibly terrific Little Feat live album called Waiting For Columbus. that’ll ignite your mojo factor real good. Crank it up…..and don’t bogart that vape, my friend!
ok, some big changes on the way, as our friends at the community-based, student-staffed, super cool KWNK FM move into their next phase. What’s gonna happen is that Jive Radio programming will disappear from 97.7 fm as of November 1. KWNK now has plenty of manpower, and it’s ready to step up and take control. So Jive Radio programming, currently heard from 4 am to 4 pm every day, will vanish. In its place will be KWNK programming, and they are doing a fine job. go to KWNK dot org to check out their web site. they’re doing some great radio, and don’t write it off as just “College Radio.” they are doing so much more! All kinds of stuff, and we encourage you to check em out.
We still will have a small presence on KWNK. Bruce Van Dyke’s Big Bucket of Wathefuket will still be on every Monday through Friday morning from 6 to 9. Sister Tiny’s Song and Dance will still be on Saturdays noon to 2. and Diane’s Jive Cafe will be heard on Saturdays from 2 to 4. but apart from these Jive offerings, the programming on KWNK, beginning November 1, will be all KWNK. We’ve been delighted to help the station get going and hope for it to have a long and fruitful run.
In our eccentric and unorthodox little radio network connecting various outposts in the Great Desert, one of our fave stations is KLAP-FM, which serves the eccentric and unorthodox little town of Gerlach, Nevada. in recent years, KLAP had a morning show hosted by two locals, Flash and Mr. Cool, and we’re delighted to see that their story has made the pages of no less than the L.A. Times. If you’d like to read it, we invite you to do so. The story is HERE.
Nothing better than good old-fashioned local radio done by locals……
So Robert Hunter just died, peacefully at his home in San Rafael. He made it to 78. No reason for death was given. Ok, fine. As anybody who loves the Dead knows, without Hunter, The Dead wouldn’t be The Dead. Indeed, when the band was inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in 1994, Hunter was included. To this day, he is still the only non-performing member of a band to be inducted. Because the HOF people knew that without Hunter, The Dead wouldn’t be The Dead.
So yes….a tribute show will show up in the near future. you betcha…….
(if you don’t want to wait for an official Jive Trib, here’s a very nice way to do your own. Many of you undoubtedly have. 1970 was the year that Hunter REALLY stepped up. 1970 was the year Hunter truly became a member of the band, because his songs, written mostly with Jerry, were the foundation for not one but two of the Dead’s greatest studio albums….Workingman’s and American Beauty (Reality). the Dead made a startling shift from psychedelic fire breathers to sweet semi-country songwriters (heavily influenced by their buddy David Crosby) in that pivotal year, and Hunter wrote the words to no less than 17 of the 18 new songs on these two essential albums. So just kick back and fire up those two discs for your own homegrown Insta-Trib to ole Bob. And then move on to Europe ’72 for the encore!)
