| JFK, JUDITH EXNER, AND SAM GIANCANA Posted: 15 Nov 2011 06:17 PM PST  John F Kennedy and Judith Campbell-Exner The rumored affair between President John F. Kennedy and Judith Campbell-Exner was revealed to the press around 1975.  Sam Giancana It was possible that the Republicans released Judith's name and information to discredit the assassinated president. According to legend Frank Sinatra introduced Judith to JFK and also to Chicago Mob Boss Sam Giancana.  Frank Sinatra and John F. Kennedy Supposedly Judith carried messages back and forth between the President and the mob. The reputed connection between JFK's father Joseph Kennedy and Giancana left the President in a really tight spot.  Billy Campbell and Judith Campbell-Exner J. Edgar Hoover had Judith tailed to obtain information with which to black mail the Kennedys. In 1977 Judith wrote her autobiography as her name was revealed to the press anyway. It was amazing how the American public had no idea about this affair for over a decade. Now days there is no keeping things under wraps... Everything is public... From Sam Sloan's Book Mafia Moll: The Judith Exner Story, The Life of the Mistress of John F. Kennedy Exner has been treated unfairly by history. She never sought to capitalize off the fact that she was JFK's mistress. She kept this hidden for years. Jackie knew about her, of course. Once, when Jackie found a woman's pink panties in her pillow case, she turned to JFK in bed and said, "Would you find out who these belong to, because they are not my size?" Although JFK was assassinated in 1963, it was not until 1975 that the identity of Exner was revealed. This happened when the Church Committee investigated the link which Exner formed between JFK and Sinatra's friends, including Mafia don Sam Giancana. Author Sam Sloane     |
| THE ROLLING STONES US TV DEBUT 11-15-1965 Posted: 15 Nov 2011 11:33 AM PST  The Rolling Stones 1965 The Rolling Stones made their US TV debut on 11-15-1965 on tv show Hullabaloo, performing 'Get Off Of My Cloud'. We remember this show totally! We were dancing around my room doing the "Off my Cloud" dance...What a gas!! DVD of Hullabaloo broadcast. Hullabaloo was an American musical variety series that ran on NBC from January 12, 1965 through August 29, 1966. Similar to Shindig! it ran in prime time in contrast to ABC's American Bandstand. Many of the programs in the series were videotaped at NBC Studios in Burbank, California. Others were taped in New York City at NBC's Studio 8H (built for Arturo Toscanini and the NBC Symphony Orchestra and which would later house Saturday Night Live), and in NBC's studio in the Midwood section of Brooklyn. Much of the series' color videotaped footage was later dubbed over to kinescope on film - as such copied in black and white. Only three half-hour episodes are known to exist in their original videotaped form.  |
| CAN'T GET USED TO LOSING YOU..... Posted: 15 Nov 2011 10:09 AM PST  "Can't Get Used to Losing You" is such a great song... As a kid my Mom loved Andy Williams and his TV show. It was one TV show that I enjoyed watching although it wasn't rock n roll... I still love Andy's voice solo or with his brothers. Andy's Christmas specials were just the best... But this song is my favorite of Andy... Fast forward a couple of decades and this song reappears in my life....  Kimmer and Dave Wakeling A couple of years ago the English Beat asked me to cover their show at The Magic Bag in Ferndale. Stanley T. Madhatter and I ran out to meet Dave Wakeling and see the show. When I got there I was told I couldn't film the band playing. So, as we approached the back door of the Bag, we ran right into Dave. So I asked him to sit for a few short questions... Dave was fantastic and I was pretty much a video newbie... Watch the arm coming through the window handing Dave a cup of coffee... Yep it's the Madhatter!  One of the questions I did ask him though is how did the Beat decide to cover "Can't Get Used to Losing You". Dave told me he did it for his Dad. It is a fantastic cover!
