A quick reminder that if you’re going to be in Southern California this weekend, I’ll be at the fabulous West Hollywood Book Fair on Sunday! I’m on a great memoir panel at 1:30PM and will be available afterward to talk and sign copies of Chanel Bonfire which will also be available for purchase!
Now back to Boston Rock Week for a brief mention of…
Oedipus (aka Edward Hyson)
He was the world’s first punk rock dj. He started with a punk show at MIT (WTBS now WMBR) in 1975 — the first in the country. And then in 1977 convinced WBCN to hire him. He had pink hair when I met him through Amy (Wachtel aka The Night Nurse) when she was interning at the station and renting a room from my mother and seemed at the time wise and mysterious. He turned out to be neither but he did change radio airplay in Boston and–probably through the influence of thousands of college students returning to their hometowns all over the states–all over the country.
HOPE TO SEE YOU SUNDAY AT THE WEST HOLLYWOOD BOOK FAIR! 1:30 PM
