When I was around 15 I lived in Florida for about a year and I hated it for many reasons, but mostly because my dad was still working in Puerto Rico so we’d only see him a few times a month and as my parents’ marriage disintegrated, the visits became even less frequent. During that otherwise dark period of time, my dad sent me a box of what I thought was the entire collection of Art Laboe’s Oldies But Goodies on CD (vol. 13 was missing but I assumed at the time that they skipped it because of superstition). I was already an oldies fan and I had no idea who Art Laboe was, but the collection introduced me to oldies I was not familiar with. More soul, no Beatles, Stones or Jackson 5 and even some Spanish! I devoured the liner notes and learned what songs like “Memories of El Monte” were about and lots of other interesting facts about something called “lowriders,” the LA-Eastside-SFV-SGV music scene in the 50s 60s & 70s, never imagining that I’d end up living the majority of my life so far in Los Angeles. The idea that I’d start doing a poor imitation of Art Laboe’s dedication show during a worldwide pandemic on something called Twitch sounds too ridiculous to have imagined. The radio business can be cruel and unforgiving but I’m glad Laboe always found a home for his show as most of commercial radio continued to cannibalize itself into irrelevance. All this to say, thank you Mr. Laboe for curating a collection of songs that saved my soul. I’d like to dedicate Memories of El Monte to you. #ArtLaboe #OldiesButGoodies #MemoriesofElMonte #LoveSongsOnTheTwitch #radiolegend #lowrideroldies (at El Monte, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cjj5O_tu7K5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Casey Kasem’s Family in Legal Battle Over Estate and Accusations of Murder

Casey Kasem was a legendary disc jockey and voice actor.  He brought us America’s Top 40 and the voice of Shaggy in Scooby Doo.  In June of 2014, he ultimately died from complications of Parkinson’s Disease, but the immediate cause of death was sepsis (a systemic infection of multiple organ systems) and his family is ruthlessly battling for his fortune because he did not have a will.
