Steve Slaton…. The man!steve_slayton.jpgsteve_slayton.jpgsteve_slayton.jpgsteve_slayton.jpgsteve_slayton.jpgsteve_slayton.jpg

Steve Slaton is my my favorite radio D.J. of all time! He was recently let go from KZOK radio as a victim of this lousy economy. When you relocate please let me know where you are and I will be a faithful listener. I have grown up with your killer classic rock and roll stories and various attributes. Your “Breakfast with the Beatles” was incredible! It will not be the same without you! I anxiously await news that you are back o the air!

I wrote him a song and sent him the cd a few years back called “I’m alive”. I have reprinted the lyrics for you here is a nostalgic look back at you rock and roll delivery. I also got to see his broadcast live at some bar in downtown Tacoma in 2002 when Paul McCartney was doing his “Driving Rain” tour at the Tacoma dome. He is awesome and my friend! I will find him broadcasting somewhere and listen to him for days! he is a rock scholar and amazing dude!

Keep playing your music, don’t stop too soon Radio rocket shoot me up to the moon Oh Radio man, come on and keep me in tune Come on and keep me in tune (Repeat chorus)

Radio man, help me belong
Show me what’s right, tell me what’s wrong Oh radio man, don’t take too long Or I’ll give up the tight, for the price at a song

A.M. F.M. whatever it takes
Crank up the music end keep me awake
Oh Radio man I dig the music you make,

A Flugel horn or a Bass Guitar
Maracas, piano, exotic sitar
Oh Radio man I think you’re a star, think you’re a star (Repeat chorus)

Radio man, help me belong
Show me what’s right, tell me what’s wrong Oh radio man, don’t take too long Or I’ll give up the tight, for the price at a song

My radio’s blasting, mile after mile
Thanks to you brother I’m cruising in style Oh Radio man, let’s rock for a while, let’s rock for a while

Oh Radio man, keep on singing
I feel your vibrations, my ears are still ringing You’re part of the plan, my Radio man, my Radio man Yes you’re part of the plan, my Radio man, my Radio man Keep on, keep on giving, so I’ll have reason to keep on living You’re part of the plan My Radio man, My Radio man My Radio man, My Radio man

I traveled to England twice to see The Beatles sacred stomping grounds. The first time was in 1992 where I stayed about 21 days, 3 of the in Paris though. I spent 10 days in Liverpool and the rest in London which I loved so much that I went back for another 9 days in 1997, I love Abby Road and sniffing that Beatle air! Really! In fact Micheal Moore is going to put me in his movie “Sicko” and use footage of me walking on my hands across Abby Road in 1997, and falling down, dislocating my shoulder, but receiving FREE medical attention through their International health care plan. So look for me in Hollywood soon, or at least on the big screen!

Here is my part!

My favorite D.J. of all time lives in Seattle and broadcasts in Seattle at KZOK Radio. Check this cool dude out! wrote a song for him called “Radio Man”, and it appears on my “I’m Alive’ cd. This is Steve’s Bio….

STEVE SLATON
Weekdays
2pm - 6pm
steve@kzok.com

Steve Slaton was born and raised in Tacoma. This fact alone may explain many things. In 1958 he cut his first tooth on the Chuck Berry 45 of “Johnny B. Goode”. A few years later a pre-teen Steve was influenced by cute teenage girls who lived down the street that were fawning over a new group from England called The Beatles. From that point forward it was all about rock n’ roll. Steve earned money to buy records from picking strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and beans in Fife, Puyallup and Sumner. An album cost $3.50. Steve was paid 2 cents a pound for picking blue lake green beans. Radio seemed like a better idea. And as $1.60 an hour to baby-sit an “Oceans of Beautiful music station” playing 1001 Strings doing versions of Beatle hits – it was.

While still a teenager, Steve became a popular disc jockey in Tacoma. This led to 19+ years at KISW and 15+ years at KZOK. In 1992 Time Magazine interviewed Steve and dubbed him “Regent of the Local Deejays”. Having never attended an institute of higher learning, Steve had no idea what “Regent” meant, but it sounded good.

Beatles, Stones, Zeppelin, U2, and Pink Floyd are a few of Steve’s faves. He also loves a group he can’t name but their initials are AC/DC. Meeting Bob Dylan and interviewing Paul McCartney have been highlights. Steve’s show has resonated with discerning listeners for decades.

WE enjoyed the Michael jackson movie. A great event!

Movie Poster….Gone too soon!Cool Movie…..Still from The Flick…..cool dancing….Great music…..
We just returned from the film event of the year, the Michael Jackson Documentary Film called “This Is It” directed by Kenny Ortega. If you like Michael Jackson You will love this movie. Great sound and fantastic to watch. It is true that at times his singing falls a tiny bit flat or short, but that is expected since it was a rehearsal and not the final show. They had to go with what they had. The editing in this movie is an absolute marvel. Very professional and painfully crafted like a fine wine. Overall it was a much better picture than I had anticipated. Extremely favorable from my viewpoint, as well as my dates opinion, Miriam Gash. It was nostalgic and personal. Obviously a big thumbs up!

The Imax Experience was totally worth the extra money! Normally here in Olympia it would cost $14.50 to see. WE had a coupon that saved us $1.50 on each ticket! Plus you can use a military discount. I must say the film was GREAT! Best movie of the year, for Me, and I have seen a lot of flicks this season. Michael is a genius, and the editing in this movie cannot be beat. And of course the music says it all! We got cool “Backstage Pass” Collectibles that hang around your neck as part of this big event. I kept my ticket stubs and put then in my Michael Jackson CD Booklets! It sort of felt like we were going to a live concert event or something! I hope this movie wins an award or three for documentary, editing, and whatever else would apply. It was amazing! Thumbs way up A plus for me. The only criticism I would have is that some of the shots are blurry and out of focus, then they cut to a sharp image that is really clear. I wish they discarded the blurry
shots and ran only with the clean ones for continuity, but all in all it really worked!

That said, go see this film. No one paid me to say this. Michaels mother Katherine, as well as his sisters are not going to see it. I cry foul on that one. They would love this as a memorial and a documentary that celebrates his life. His kids will see it soon by a private screening, and they can be damn proud of their Pop! we did notice that at certain times in the movie Michael looked as pale as a sheet, white, ghastly, and sometimes even creepy. These must have been the dates shot a couple days before he died and he was just a bit frail. But for the most part he was on top of his game and looked very good. Also, his energy levels change from one shooting day to another. Sometimes he is very active, and others rather passive. Either way this film brings out his creative and musical prodigy. I would watch it again! And crank it up will you! The music is never endingly good.

The Keith Moon story is true. I was the pool boy at
the Holiday Inn when it occured.

I was also working at the Edgewater when Carmine,
Robert and Jimmy used the fish on the groupie.It was a
Carp.

Stevie did have a friend blow coke up her ass. I was
working backstage in concessions at the time and I
provided the straw.

However, Paul McArtney and Bob Dylan are alive and are
the originals. Elvis, Curt Cobain, Jim Morrison, Jimi,
Mama Cass, Brian Jones and Keith Richards are all
dead.

The CIA was engaged in a massive and well-documented
mind-control program called MKULTRA. Mark David
Chapman was very likely among their many subjects. To
lump likely CIA operations in with patently bogus
nonsense is the most insidious sort of disinformation.

Charles Manson did not audition for the Monkees. Not
only was he in his 30?s and ugly, while the studio was
looking for 17-21 year old male models, but he was
also in prison from 1961-?67.

FZappa recalled the fish incident in the album
Fillmore East, June 1971. (Much of this album is given
to an oral, so to speak, history of good old
rock?n’roll decadence by Professors Flo & Eddie. It?s
the story of an Unnamed Rock Band, the Edgewater Inn,
the young ladies they find there and an unsuspecting
saltwater creature ? that?s right, you heard right,
the secret word was ?Mud Shark?.)

Kurt Cobain?s alive and lives in a trailer park .
thats the only rumor i`v heard that could make it on
this list. oh,and if you play stairway to heaven
backwards it says stuff `bout satin Elvis is still
alive.
Courtney Love has something to do with Cobain?s death.
Limp Bizkit was once considered to be
important.Richard Gere took a gerbil & shoved it up
his butt. Oh that?s right, he?s not a musician. It?s a
huge rumor till this day thought. 

MTV used to show mostly music.
Oasis was the ?next? Beatles. (Wait a minute, they are
better than the Beatles!) Bob Dylan is the devil (so
says the pope)
27. Madonna is a talented artist who DOESNT use sex to
sell.

Pearl Jam was named after Earl ?The Pearl? Monroe the

Also. The dude who played Paul Pfeifer on the Wonder

And, the Pearl Jam one is true. They did name the band
after Eddy?s grandmothers homemade jam.

To Bill Brasky!

About half of these are true, and I would encourage
all to visit the great snopes.com for details.

Oh, this one wasn?t there? and I regard it as one of
the greats.

James Taylor?s Fire & Rain was written about Taylor?s
girlfriend (Susanne) being flown from the East Coast
to visit him in LA. Problem is, the plane crashed and
she died.

* while that would be a near literal interpretation,
it isn?t true at all. Taylor said that song was
written over the course of years, and is three mini
stories. ?flying machines in pieces on the ground? is
a refernce to a band Taylor was in with this brother.

Oh, and I heard when I was a kid that Ozzy used to:

1. pass around a bucket for people to piss in and he
would drink it before the show

2. passed out puppies to the crowd and would not start
the show until the audience killed them and passed
them back up front.

also total BS. Ozzy is probably a better Christian
that I am

AHA | 4/2/2007, 9:58 pm EST

I can say the Frank Zappa, Alice Cooper thing in
untrue according to Zappa and Cooper. The Led Zeppelin
fish thing was a rumor started by a roadie. There is a
Zappa song about this on Mothers Live at the Fillmore,
he says he heard the rumor from the Vanilla Fudge. If
McCartney did die they did a great job of replacing
him. He not only looks like Paul, but he sounds like
him and is a hell of a song writer. No one cares if
Elvis, Morrison or Cobain are alive. I have seen
pictures of M. Jackson when he was black. According R
Van Zants widow he is buried in a suit. Dylan is not
the devil but I think the new pope may be the
anti-christ. One last thing w0nderwall put the pipe
down and get your head out of your A** Oasis has to be
the most overated band since ASIA (Who you ask?
EXACTLY)

fine, and was driving one of thos SUVs and later on I
explained to a native local why the PLO flag was
flying in the area. She replied, Oh it?s like high
school then? Incidentally, the UK band which did the
song about this boat is sinking? Taken from that mss I
did in 1980, where I?m washing spotlessly clean
glasses in the basement of the London hare krishna
temple? At the sink there? The guy is a doctor here
and used my birthdate toopen a small clinic. A liberal
MP named Armitage officially opened it on my birthday.
That?s why US also had an Armitage. But lyrics were
plagiarised and then they made hare krishna illegal
here just like in Ukraine and USSR.

The Beatles…. Best Of All Time!Rolling Stone’s Rock Icons…The Beatles…. Best Of All Time!Fat Icons Of Rock

Wow, This is great idea. As an all pro DJ it is all
about having the right cut for the right occasion such
as a wedding or toga party. This will be a very
useful tool for me. Thank you, and what a great idea.
I rather enjoyed Marilyn and Marc Lund’s lists, and
have a lot of music in common with them. That is also
a lot of hard work and time consumption. Job well done!
I like so much stuff that a top 100 list would be a
tough duty. I would have to pick almost all of the
Beatles albums for one thing! So I am going to do this
my own way. I prefer to mention Bands and not albums,
but touch on my favorite work within the artist
catalog. Thanks again for this idea and opportunity. I
love music! It makes my world go ’round. I also enjoy
being online. Quite the hobby for me I must say.

E.T.’s Music Appreciation list:
Top 25 for now……. (March 22nd, 2006)

01. The Beatles:
 I think my favorite song has to be “A Day in he
Life”, followed by “Across The Universe”. I love the
“golden Slumbers medley” from Abby Road, “Julia”, and
“The Long and Winding Road”.  and if I had to pick a
favorite album I may surprise you when I choose
“Magical Mystery Tour”. I love that one, but I love
ALL of them baby! I am into the art and poetic lyrics.
I love to know what inspired the song, such as
“Martha” was Paul’s sheep-dog, and the back ups on
“Girl” were all about the female anatomy “tit tit tit
tit tit”. Paul has confirmed this on the Anthology
dvd’s. I know a lot more but this is just item number
one!

02. Paul McCartney:
I have to say his solo work is some of my all time
favorite stuff. I own EVERY cd, even the classical
stuff. I really dig the early Wings stuff  like
“McCartney”, “Ram”, and “Red rose Speedway”. An
overlooked gem, for me anyway is 1997’s “Flaming Pie”.
I dig that album. I really miss Linda a whole lot. A
great track that comes to mind for me is “Venus and
Mars are all right tonight”. My least favorite Paul
song is “Silly Love Songs”. He did not need to go
there. But Paul is definetly my favorite Beatle. 51%
Paul to 49% John. Just my opinion,

03. Bob Dylan:
His songwriting is almost un-matched. His body of work
is terrifying, and still growing. I like it all. My
favorite album thugh is still “Blood on The Tracks”,
followed by “Desire” and then maybe “Highway 61″. I am
in awe of his talent for creating words and music.
Some of my all time favorites are “Forever Young”, one
of my theme songs, and “I’ll be your baby tonight”,
“Just like a Woman”, “Ride Me High”, and “Tonight I’ll
be staying here with you”. Bob is just so great. I
wish he still had his melody together when he plays
live though. The records sound alot better. I love it
all.

04.  Neil Young:
I have to go with “Harvest Moon”, “Comes a Time” and
“Unplugged” as 3 of my favorites. It’s all good.
Innovative and great. I like the country acoustic
sounding Neil way more than grunge Crazy Horse Neil.
Speaks to me a lot more. My favorite tour was Neil Solo
all the way talking to the audience and playing his
classic Martin and Gibson guitars. That is Neil in his
best form, for me anyway.

05. Eric Clapton:
I learned all his guitar licks when I was in
high school. I dig the blues, and a really special
record for me was “E.C. Was Here”. The one with the
female boobs on it. I copied all those licks and
learned the guitar that way. “We’re all the Way” is a
sentimental song, and his unplugged album if just
great. Won 6 Grammy’s in fact. The record “Slow Hand” is
also a favorite of mine.

06. Pink Floyd
Wow they are way at the top, in the top five. I just
overlooked them! “Dark Side of The Moon” is a
masterpiece. Their spacey experimental music is just
my cup of tea. It was nice to see them reunite for
“Live 8″ last summer,. Sentimental and touching.
Concept albums and great music. “Brain Damage” is a
song that comes to mind. Wow. That cd “Echoes’, with
the greatest hits all run together is one of my
favorites. Great group.

07.  Led Zepplen
Also in my top five. My favorite cd is “Houses of the
Holy” and I like “Physical Graphiti alot as well. The
acoustic stuff like “Thats the Way”, and “Going To
California” are standouts. That was one hell of a
band! Thsy still hold up today. Long live Led!

08.  Tom Petty:
Petty all night. What a great writer and Rock Icon. I
like everything he did. “Echoes” was one of his best
for me. The song “Room at The Top of The World” is a
really great tune. I love his attitude. Of course
“Full Moon Fever” has to be nmentioned. Incredible
work.

09.  Elvis Presley
Especially the later Vegas Elvis with James Burton on
Guitar. What a band! Awe inspiring. I like the album
“Moody Blue” a lot, and the “Aloha From Hawaii” ranks
up there in live performances for me. I like the Mac
Davis penned “Don’t Cry Daddy”. and his version of
“Pledging my Love”. Elvis was way cool. His bass
player Jerry Sheff was a monster, and Ronnie Tut the
drummers drummer. Quite a catalog.

10.  Moody Blues
I am a huge fan! I must single out “Days of Future
Past” and “In Search of The Lost Chord”. I have
sentimental memories attached to these albums. One
stand out track for me is ” I never Thought I’d live
To Be a hundred”, and another is “Are you sitting
Comfortably”. Great band.

11.  Fleetwood Mac:
Stand out albums “Rumors”, and the first album with
the females together. “Landslide” is one of my favorite
songs ever. I love Stevie Nicks. She is my favorite
female rocker. This chemistry in this group works
well.

12.  Rolling Stones.
Bone turned me onto “Beggars Banquet”, and some of
that old stuff really rocks. Especially the acoustic
guitars. “Stick Fingers” is a must for any collection.
A stand out song for me is “Salt of the Earth”. They
nailed it with Paul Shaffer Band on the New York 911
Tribute. “No expectations” is a stand out cut for me
as well.

13.  The Eagles
I love the harmony in this group. “7 Bridges Road” is
a great song to learn harmony on. They are classics. I
love the “Desperado” cd. It is like a concept album.
Another standout for me is “The Last Resort” from Hotel
California. There is a lot of great tracks. Too many to
list.

14.  The Allman Brothers Blues Band
That Duane Allman and his slide guitar! I am hooked.
The live album “Live at The Filmore” still ranks as
one of my top ten cd’s of all time. “Dreams I’ll Never
See”, and “One Way Out”, Fabulous. That Southern music
has a rocking kick and influenced my bass and guitar
playing tremendously.

15.  Merle Haggard
I know he is old and country, but man, Merle is my
favorite good old boy. Just great. “Thats the Way Love
Goes’, is a stand out track for me, as well as “Heaven
is a drink of wine” and “Silver Wings”. He has lived
his music and as far as country goes, he is the best
for me.

16.  Lynyrd Skynrd
Man I love the classic band before the plane crash.
“Simple Man”, is one of my theme songs, and you can’t
go wrong with “Free Bird” as a rock anthem. I grew up
with that group, and still listen to the street
survivors to this day. They just made the hall of fame
last week! About time!

17.  Aerosmith
Americas Rolling Stones, but way hotter, live at
least. They rock. My favorite record of theirs is
“Pumped” with stand out tracks like “Other side” and
“What it Takes”. Classic stuff is good and holding up
well like “Seasons of Wither”. They are reral comrades
of rock.

18.  Simon and Garfunkle
Wow. The songs are right on. “The Only Living Boy In
New York” is a great track. I love that “Sounds of
Silence” album. The chemistry and songwriting was
really spot on. No doubt. Terrific! “Kathy’s Song”
another great one. All their music was fantastic come
to think of it.

19.  The Who
“Tommy” is still one the best concept albums to date.
I love it. Great rocking band. Great songs. “Behind
Blue Eyes” is a stand out song. “Guadrophenia” another
great piece of work. Sad to say 2 are dead now. Their
music will live on for eons.

20.  Grateful Dead
“American Beauty” is my favorite record of theirs. I
love “Ripple” and all the stuff that Robert Hunter
wrote. Great jam band, and great music catalog.

21.  Kansas
I have always been a huge fan. I guess “Left Overture”
and “Point of no Return” are stand outs for me. They
are unusual and just great. “Magnum Opus” was a song I
always liked.

22.  Nora Jones
I gotta get a girly here. “Come Away With Me” is a
fine record. I just love it. Ravi Shankar is her dad
so she has a Beatle connection as well. “Don’t Know
way” is a stand out cut for me.

23.  Billy Joel
Love the Piano Man. He has such a great volume of work
that stands out. One of my favorite records of his is
“Innocent Man’. The lyrics on “We didn’t Start the
fire” are clever and really good. Great songs.

24.  Elton John
“No Sacrifice” is one of my favorite songs. “Your
Song” is another standout. His partnering with Bernie
Taupen came close to Lennon  and McCartney and their
work is just great. “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” is a
classic and who does not like “Crocodile Rock”. Sir
Elton. Go dude. 

25.  Shawn Mullens
A lot of people do not know him well, but he speaks to
me. His album “Souls Core” is one of the best. Nice
acoustic and mellow songs. His deep voice singing
straight from the heart. “Gulf of Mexico” is a real
standout song for me. Check that album out.

This is just the tip of the ice berg, Top 25 for now.
There is much much more. I assure you. Look at (CCR,
John Mellencamp, The Doors, Hendrix, Stevie Ray
Vaughn, Gordon Lightfoot, Crosby Stills and Nash, Joan
Baez, Leonard Cohen, Bad Bompany,) and so many more to
come! Wow. This is fun. Thanks for indulging me.
