70s AOR DJ waxes ecstatic, briefly

Totally analog, circa 1978.
8:45 into http://brad-morrison.com/KEXL-part-one.mp3, the studio version of Country Joe & the Fish's Feel Like I'm Fixing to Die Rag winds out its weird ending that couldn't decide between SFX with extra cheese and a classically classic rock ending. Then the late Allen Grimm lets go of the LP he's cued up, and track #4, side 2 perfectly syncs with the final chord of Country Joe's single, right at 9:00, and at 9:04 or so you can hear him vocalize his approval in stereo.

-- 

Come on mothers throughout the land / And pack your boys off to Vietnam / Come on fathers, don't hesitate / and send your DAUGHTERS off before it's too late / And be the first one on your block to have your KIDS come home in a box.

~self-revised lyrics to the Country Joe song
