...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.

The topic was the California electrical power crisis, and Shames, the executive director of the Utility Consumers’ Action Network, predicted a popular revolt if consumers were not protected from the vicissitudes of the electricity market...
