...safety. If Evergreen is doing the same to other airlines, they may well hurt someone," Bowles told TIME. "They have to be stopped." Last week the FAA confirmed that it was conducting its own special inspection of Evergreen. Contacted by TIME, the Air Center's president, Trevor Van Horn, said, "I am not going to comment." Other calls to officials at the company were not returned or yielded no comment...
...more than just a hobby. On Holiday, his first all-piano album since 1959, he serves up five standards, six strong originals and a blues, performed in a blunt, bracing style full of sharp corners and spicy chords and often startlingly reminiscent of his no-nonsense horn playing.

He had been arrested for drunken driving before and here was again found to have been intoxicated. Horn was fired from "Bandstand," moved to Houston, got a radio...
...newest, kookiest kid on the block was WCAM's Jerry Blavat, self-dubbed the Geator With the Heater, the Boss With the Hot Sauce. Blavat had crashed Bob Horn's early "Bandstand" show when he was 13, and somehow avoided having sex with the host. Instead, he won lots of dance contests and soon was running The Committee, a panel of teens that chose records and monitored the troops. At 20 he got on radio and quickly established himself as a pioneer rock archivist, running perhaps the first-ever oldies show. And not something simple, like pre-Army Elvis. Wildly...
