He was 21 in 1947 when he first started calling Jackie Robinson career.A pro announcer at 21 is really mind bogglingly young.

(Refreshingly) Informative, straight ahead article from AP on Mo Ostin. It's always been about business, selling music. But there were people with ears, or at least open to what was happening. May still be, I don't know. I may not be around to read it, but I'd like to see how future historians situate the post-Classic Rock era, how the music of the 2000's+ is regarded, in the arc of time of recorded music. Sinatra didn't like rock. I get it.

Olivia Newton-John - Wow, really sad to see her name appear here. Only 73. Loved a lot of her stuff. "Grease" was and still is a classic, especially for those that grew up during the 50's and 60's. RIP

ONJ in Grease with the leather/Sandra Dee looks had something to do with my pre sexual awakening as a kid.
