Minnich wonders:
<<Is it possible? I mean, just where did TRP get the
idea for Mucho Maas, top 40 DJ with a weakness for jailbait? Can anyone
confirm that there ever was a station KEWB in Oakland? There isn't one
now.>>
The plot thickens. KEWB-AM was a top 40 powerhouse in Oakland during the
60s. In 1962, Casey Kasem developed his still-irritating schtick there.
Before that, Gary Owens (from Laugh-In and elsewhere) was also a DJ there.
And we know that Pynchon was in Oakland and Berkeley in the mid-60s mooning
over Ruby Tuesday and A Whiter Shade of Pale. But Herman's Hermits?
