Speaker 2 (00:06):
Nightside Hour number two. Dan Ray is off. He'll be
back on Wednesday to begin the year twenty twenty five.
And there's an event going on tomorrow at one of
our major venues in Boston, and it's gonna be paying
homage to those who were on the music trails around
(00:27):
Boston in the eighties. I know a little bit about it,
but I brought in somebody who can speak with more
power to that event tomorrow evening. Welcome back to WBZ, mister,
Bradley J.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Morgan. Thank you for having me. It's wonderful to be back. Yes, sir,
there's a big event tomorrow that I'm really excited about.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Now, I'm gonna tell people Bradley and I are gonna
talk about this event until the first break, and if
you want to call, you can call then I'm not
I'm going to give out the phone number until I
come back from that first break. So Bradley, what will
we see tomorrow at the Paradise?
Speaker 3 (01:08):
All right, here's the story. Everyone. You know how you
always hear about how wonderful the music scene was back
in the early eighties, and it was. It was fantastic.
You could go out five nights a week to a
different club and it was you could afford to do it,
and the bands were great, and there was a feeling
of community in the rock community. There was a lot
(01:28):
of love in the scene and gradually it kind of
went away. Well that's kind of going to return tomorrow
at the Paradise for what is a benefit to memorialize
a memorial and a benefit for a guy named John
Boy Franklin who was a person that was part of
that community and he had a really tough early life
(01:51):
and really rock and roll saved his life. They gave
him a community and he came to know everybody. He
was pals with, you know, folks like Peter Wolf, and
he's always in the dressing room and he's always backstage
and he had a camera. He became a fixture of
the scene and kind of an icon for what the
(02:12):
scene meant to people. It was his life and so
there is a memorial to celebrate his life. Featurings a
lot of the big names from back in the day,
like the folks from the Atlantics and big city rockers
of Fred Panot of the Atlantics and Doug Maddox, a
(02:35):
band called Diablogato, Charlie Farron of Joe Perry Project and Fahrenheit,
Adam Sherman, Johnny Barnes, and there's a fun band called
the Scrooges which dress they dress up in Santa outfits.
I guess I've never seen him, and they do iggy
pop covers. And folks from BCM will be there, Carter Allens,
(03:00):
Carmelita Carter Allen, Chachi Shred, I'm gonna be an MC.
I don't know if I'll be on all day or
whether I'll be bringing other people up as well to
share the duties. Plus, I think you would dig this.
Lots of hundreds of photos and T shirts and posters
and jackets from John Boy's collection, and I've seen some
(03:23):
of the items, including this Killer Rowing Stones jacket and
a couple of J. Giles jackets and.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
At last for sale, Yah, you bid on them silent
auction style.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
I don't know. Then, I don't think there's gonna be
I mean, I can't speak to this for sure, but
I don't think there's going to be an actual voice auction,
you know, like can I get a hundred? Can I
get two hundred? I got two hundred. Can it's not
like that.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
I think.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
I don't know how they will be sold some form
of auction, I believe, Okay, but if somebody wants some
bad enough that you know, might be able to get them.
Tickets are very reason and it's in the daytime. It
starts at two thirty, I believe, two thirty until till
about seven, Yeah, two thirty to seven. It's also all ages, so.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
And you're you're gonna be there at the beginning or
maybe throughout the entire five plus hours. Okay, Oh yeah,
I'm all.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
I'm all in on this because it's gonna be like
as far as I canna tell, it's gonna be like
nineteen eighty three, or with all of the people in
the bands from that time, the people in the DJs
from that time, and the uh a lot of the
people who went to the shows from that time. You're
gonna if you were in the scene, you're gonna probably
(04:43):
see a lot of people, you know, And if you
just want to a little hint of what it was
like back then, when there was a real community around
the rock scene in Boston, then it's worth showing up.
I mean, it's low Dough I'm not gonna give out
the ticket for but it's trust me low.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
And is Private light I'm sorry? Is Private Lightning one
of the bands because they were a big band back
then in the eighties into the nineties.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
It was Adam Sherman in Private Lightning. I might be
stumped on that.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
I think he was at one point.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Okay, well, Adam Sherman is going to be there. I'm
a little faced on that for sure, but it was one.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Of his bands. But I could be wrong.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
God, you know, forgive me, forgive me.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
That's okay.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Yeah, And there there are certain names being floated of
people who might show up that I just can't disclose
because it's not one hundred percent, but other names. And
I just think it's such an interesting thing. I mean,
it's very local thing the Boston music scene, and so
(05:59):
many people listening now remember they went out to one
club or another. Maybe it was the Paradise, or maybe
it was the Channel for a BC and lunchtime concert
or any you know Storyville in Kenmore Square, how about
that one? Or streets on comm app all these little
clubs that gradually went away. And it's not just the
(06:22):
clubs that went away, but the camaraderie, the community and
the love kind of went away. But tomorrow I think
it returns at the paradise.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
So my in studio producer Nancy just looked up private
lightning and you were right. Yeah, Adam, Thank.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
God, Adam, thank god.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
You know Okay.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
And by the way, I need to thank Sean McNally
from the former manager of the channel. He's doing the
heavy lifting on organizing all this. And also thanks to
John Graham who used to get guests from me sometimes
he you know, he it was kind of his brain
child partly, So thanks to all those folks that are,
you know, involved in putting this together. They don't get
(07:06):
enough credit.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
And if I'm not mistaken, because I kind of half
pay attention to the weather forecast, like I hear them
obviously twice an hour when I fill in for Dan Ray.
But if I'm not mistaken, it's supposed to be a
nice day tomorrow somewhere in the somewhere in the forties
for December. That's a bonus. And sunlight not clouds.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Yep, sunlight for about three hours, right, yeah, hopefully you'll
be this three hour time period between two and five
thirty yep.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
So I'm super duper excited. I'm gonna like shave and everything.
It's a big deal.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
You're gonna shave for this.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
I'm not gonna shave my beard, but you know, when
you get a beard, it's so easy to not trim
it and like let them grow.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Oh don't, don't I know. I'm I let.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
It go sometimes for weeks. But tomorrow I'm gonna do
the straight razor shave and just look my very best.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Now, once again, tell people the address of the Paradise,
because there's some people that don't know to look on
carm Alves.
Speaker 3 (08:15):

at the beginning, And he went to a restaurant and
sat down and was facing each other and she's holding
a newspaper up and she pulled the newspaper down and
there was a one foot cubic block of ice on
the table. And then how he did that? But I

New England as from Rhode Island called Combustible Edison.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
I've heard of him. They they're kind of a novelty band, right,
they do something weird.

Well, the thing is they employ every genre of music
you can think of, from surf to punk to R
and B jazz and everything, and they're really talented musicians
and then mostly instrumentals. They do do a boss version
of Chromee River. But I just thought I've been the
(14:47):
favorite of mine for a couple of years now. So
geat Combustible Edison.

music group founded.

Speaker 5 (17:42):
Oh I don't either. I know what.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
You get a crush on every woman you hear? Well,
almost well, I would say eighty five of the women
you hear, whether they guests or on TV, or in
the movie or singing U fronting a band, you were
in love? Yeah, you know.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
One of the my all time favorite like ongoing things

we Lla would say you weren't on this week? Were you?
And I'm like no, he goes good. You know he
was doing the show.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
But yeah, because it was like Jerry Seinfeld, you know,
Glenn had a crush on his waitress. And then one time,
I remember this, you were crushed because you ordered French
fries and she gave you some other kind of potatoes
and you said something and she said, I don't have time,
and you were heartbroken.
Speaker 5 (18:59):
Correct, she was supposed to give me hash proms and
she gave me French fries instead. At eight o'clock in
the morning, That's what it was.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Something like that, and you thought, oh my god, she
does not love me.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
Yeah, because I had a hash and cheese omelet and
she's there were French fries in there. I'm like, whoa was? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
There are three people that owe me a phone call
that we well two of them, you know, and one
of them is Wayne Greenside, is the guy with the
horse from the post office. And Tom Fuller, the electrician,
the guy that worked at the TGI Friday's with you.

If you were a character on Seinfeld's, which one do
you think you'd be? Would you be Kramer or George
or Jerry? Which are you more like?
Speaker 5 (19:51):
Well, I'm gonna because I'd be Constanza. Yeah, which one,

the dream James for Dreams James By Dreams commercial, the
one that's stuck in traffic and the guy says, tell
me if around my stink's broken. She goes called Jeams
Trained by James, you know the commercial fast, the one

everybody treated you like to know you for a hundred years.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Yes, there was right at the train station San antoniop
So back wait a minute, folks, backing up a little
bit of the story. I took the train from New
Orleans to Los Angeles, and train only stops like once,
and that's right there in San Antonio. Stays for four hours.
I had time to get off, see the Alamo at
(22:57):
right and go to a little bar by the train station.
Looked like it was in a house, but everybody was
super friendly. It seemed like like they knew me for
one hundred years. Let me get you a drink, guy,
It was pretty great. Love it.
Speaker 7 (23:13):
Yeah, you're worth bumps to count to dinner.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Oh, I didn't realize that I missed out.
Speaker 7 (23:21):
The next time you're taking your train ride, stop Santoni.
Come on over the house. We'll give you dinner.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
All right.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
I'll have to have to give Morgan your address, so
i'll have it with me when I go.
Speaker 7 (23:35):
Yeah, yeah, I used to call you. You were a
late night guy. After I got bored with that rhino
from rate to twelve, I had a real liberal to
fight with.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
So, hey, what do you do all day? How do
you spend how do you spend your day? What do
you do?
Speaker 7 (23:57):
I'm a retired engineer. I'd spend my day and two
great grandchildren.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Well, that's great. That's nice. You get to do that.
When you say engineer, do you mean like to uh designer?
Speaker 2 (24:15):
All right.
Speaker 7 (24:17):
I worked on recumberines and autimobiles and aircraft, uh, farm equipment,
special machines too.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
See, how did you learn to do all that stuff?
That's hard work. I wouldn't want to do that too hard.
Speaker 7 (24:34):
He's just sitting there the drawing board dreaming up ideas.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
That's pretty cool. Well, good for you. He sounds great.
It sounds sound healthy. Anyway.
Speaker 7 (24:45):
I used to bite to work every single day that
I worked, every day of the year. I got so
addicted to it. I did it in the snow and
the ice and the wind, and every one night I
got my toes off frost pitten. Lucky for me, I
it was them. They all came back to life.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
That's good.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Great, that's a that's a bonus. Let me tell you,
Uh what is that? What do you call that area?
That they got this little river, but they built this
walkway by the river in sand.
Speaker 5 (25:16):
Of the riverwalk.
Speaker 7 (25:18):
Yeah, the river walk.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Yep. I made it to the river walk. That's as
far as I got.
Speaker 7 (25:24):
Yeah, there's a lot of there's a lot of Spanish
uh stores there in Mexican and my wife she she
was a real dark haired galo anyway, and she used
to like to wear that that same material, and we'd
always shop for material there on the river walk for
my wife to make her dresses and all.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Yeah, Well, so is it warm down there? It's really
cold up here. It's been pretty darn cold. In my
house it was fifty three degrees five three fifty three
degrees with the heat as much as we could. That's too. Well,
it's pretty you know what's like that here?
Speaker 8 (26:00):
It is here.
Speaker 7 (26:02):
It's uh, it's seventies of the days and forties and
fifties at night.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
That's the wintertime Boston. Yeah, but uh, summertimes, summertime, isn't
San Antonio uninhabitable? Kind of everyone has to go underground.
Speaker 7 (26:19):
It's not very nice. It's not very nice. I always
gotta I don't have it here on the top of
my head, so it's got to wear a hat when

who are listening now who weren't here at the top
of the hour. So time and temperature nine forty five
thirty five degrees.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Now back to Dan way Line from the Window World
Life Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Dan is off tonight. I wish I could have a
nickel for every time I've had to say that this week,
I'm Morgan Morgan White Junior, one of my best friends.
I won't say my best friend, but I will extend
that a little bit to one of my best friends.
Bradley Jay is here and he's got an event he's
going to be a part of tomorrow. So let's pretend
(31:30):
that there are people calling now that weren't around at
the top of the hour. What are they going to
witness tomorrow with you with the Paradise.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Okay, so folks, imagine this. If you will remember back
in the day how excited you were when you went
to the clubs in Boston. Man, things kind of change
and you got married, you had kids maybe, or you
got a job and you kind of got out of that.
But remember the excitement. Will you can relive that excitement
for real tomorrow at the Paradise at nine to sixty
(32:00):
seven commav in Boston, just like it's always been. Because
there's a benefit to memorialize and raise money for a
cause for a guy named John Boy Franklin who's a
guy in the scene, and to celebrate and to memorialize
all these folks are coming out. I'll certainly be there
(32:21):
as MC. Other people on stage include Karma Leda from
BCN and Kygie Allen and Chacci and Shred and maybe
more and bands like Fred Big City Rockers featuring Fred
Panoa of the Atlantics, Dog Maddics, Tremendous Boston Band and
Charlie Farron, Joe Perry Project from Joe Perry Project and Fahrenheit,
(32:44):
Adam Sherman from Souls in Private, Lightning Johnny Barnes, and
there's going to be memorabilia, but real deal memorabilia there
for sale, a live and silent auction, and that goes
The benefit is for the Italian Home for Children in JP.
(33:06):
They assist in house. They assist house and educate the
youth of Boston, not just Italians but everybody. They've been
around for one hundred plus years, so it's a good cause.
But most of all, you get to remember that little
thing of excitement, and who knows, maybe run into somebody
that you knew from some radio station or some band
that you met before, or somebody who was a fan.
(33:29):
When you were a rock fan back in the eighties,
it was a wonderful time, and that magic is gonna
return tomorrow at the Paradise at two from two to seven.
I'm there the whole time. I'm completely in on this,
and I'm going to check out the stuff that is
available to purchase by auction. There's a Rolling Stones jacket.
(33:53):
Oh wait a minute. Sean McNally, the guy who is
putting us together, just sent me a photo of some
of the jackets. Okay, there's a little what looks to
be leather. Look, I'm looking at a little picture here
with the Rolling Stones lips and tongue logo. There's a
(34:15):
Jay Giles band, there's an Arrowsmith one. There's another Jay
Giles band jacket, and there's this. There's a jacket that's
looks like black satin and it says nineteen seventy two. Stones.
Can't read the rest of it. It's got like a
one die of like one half of a pair of dice. Now,
(34:36):
I don't know that if this is legit as far
as the provenance, I can't vouch for that. I don't know.
But when you go you, you know, find out the
Jay Giles jacket. Imagine having that a Jay Giles Jackson.
There's a Jackson's jacket, and this is stuff that was
I guess collected by the person that's being memorialized, John
(34:57):
Boy Franklin and some of the Jackets badly.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
When you say Jackson's, that's the name that Jackson five
went by after they left Motown and went to Epic.
Is that the Jackson's to what you're referring.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
Yeah, yeah, you might think that's weird, but it's See.
This is the thing about John Boy Franklin. He seemed
to know everybody, and he got into places a no
you know, you couldn't get in, and he got to
know people. I would be surprised that he knew. So
this the real deal. I'm just looking at a picture,
(35:32):
so I can't be sure.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
But we know the controversy of the Jackson's when they
played this area because Chuck Selvin of the Patriots same
he put the money up for them to play at
Foxboro Stadium and the town of Foxborough did not want
(36:00):
them to play there, and there was a big controversy.
So maybe that's where this jacket came from.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
When they was that during the time of the Jacksons
rather than Jackson five.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Yes, it was Oh wow, that was if I'm not mistaken.
The name of the tour was Destiny, and that was
his Destiny tour in the early eighties.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
I hate to ask this, but then the natural question
is why didn't they want him to play.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
They just felt that it would be too much of
a zoo because of Michael Jackson mania of that time.
But he was doing this Destiny tour with his brothers
and if you want me to expand the father Joe
Jackson wanted Michael to do one more tour to give
(36:52):
his brothers a chance to make some of the money
that was out there. Huh, and fought the town council
and Foxborough did not want that to happen because they
figured they would be just too much happening around Michael Jackson.
And you know, Michael Jackson. Let's put it this way.
(37:15):
You can have a Rolling Stones concert or Michael Jackson concert.
Foxborough had both, and the Rolling Stones, who you would
have thought could have been problematic, it went off without
a hitch. But what are you going to do? I
didn't make any decisions. They do not ask my opinion
(37:36):
back then.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
I know, that's too bad. I'm surprised. Yeah, they said,
well that's really interesting. That's the thing about you, Morgan,
you know more than any other man alive. And that
I'm not saying that. I'm serious, I tell you. Of course,
it's so weird when Morgan would come in after me,
as you know, Morgan Ida, and Morgan's preparing his show
(38:00):
outside the studio, and I'd come out for a break
and say, Morgan, ask me a question. I'd make him.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
Ask and what did I And what did I say?
What did I say? Give me a subject? What topic?
Speaker 3 (38:14):
You'd say, my topic? And I would usually say, I
don't know, world War two?
Speaker 2 (38:19):
And I would give you world War two questions.
Speaker 3 (38:21):
But I didn't care because I was always just so
impressed that you knew that both the question and the answer.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
Now, I only have like two minutes left to the hour.
Is there an email or website or two tin cans
in a string that people can get in touch with
you or maybe follow all the Bradley J. Things that
you do.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
Oh yeah, dude, I'm glad you asked right now, Okay,
you just go to just google Bradley J. Wix wix.
I haven't you know that's it. That'll do it, and
it takes you to a website with links to everything
that I do, including the travel Bradley Jay Travel YouTube channel.
(39:06):
By the way, that a new video's coming up and
soon because I'm going to Villnis, Lithuania, believe it or
not to do a video. There's also original music. There's
another thing that I do musically with a collaborator called
Bridge Bender, and there's links to everything there at the bio.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
And I wanted to make sure you gave that information
up because as you could tell, you've got a lot
of fans out there, and I hope tomorrow is buffo
business for you, a huge success for the charity and
I'll have you one sometime in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (39:46):
Cool. Thank you so much for dedicating the time to
this event. It's for great cause. It's a real Boston
local event, and you know, good on you for letting
me go on and on about it.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
No problem, Bradley, you take care all right. People. Next hour,
my buddy, Lieutenant Bruce Apothecar, formerly of the Newton Police
Department the City of Newton. Time and temperature nine point
fifty eight holding at thirty five degrees
It's night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ Koston's new video.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Nightside Hour number two. Dan Ray is off. He'll be
back on Wednesday to begin the year twenty twenty five.
And there's an event going on tomorrow at one of
our major venues in Boston, and it's gonna be paying
homage to those who were on the music trails around
(00:27):
Boston in the eighties. I know a little bit about it,
but I brought in somebody who can speak with more
power to that event tomorrow evening. Welcome back to WBZ, mister,
Bradley J.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Morgan. Thank you for having me. It's wonderful to be back. Yes, sir,
there's a big event tomorrow that I'm really excited about.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Now, I'm gonna tell people Bradley and I are gonna
talk about this event until the first break, and if
you want to call, you can call then I'm not
I'm going to give out the phone number until I
come back from that first break. So Bradley, what will
we see tomorrow at the Paradise?
Speaker 3 (01:08):
All right, here's the story. Everyone. You know how you
always hear about how wonderful the music scene was back
in the early eighties, and it was. It was fantastic.
You could go out five nights a week to a
different club and it was you could afford to do it,
and the bands were great, and there was a feeling
of community in the rock community. There was a lot
(01:28):
of love in the scene and gradually it kind of
went away. Well that's kind of going to return tomorrow
at the Paradise for what is a benefit to memorialize
a memorial and a benefit for a guy named John
Boy Franklin who was a person that was part of
that community and he had a really tough early life
(01:51):
and really rock and roll saved his life. They gave
him a community and he came to know everybody. He
was pals with, you know, folks like Peter Wolf, and
he's always in the dressing room and he's always backstage
and he had a camera. He became a fixture of
the scene and kind of an icon for what the
(02:12):
scene meant to people. It was his life and so
there is a memorial to celebrate his life. Featurings a
lot of the big names from back in the day,
like the folks from the Atlantics and big city rockers
of Fred Panot of the Atlantics and Doug Maddox, a
(02:35):
band called Diablogato, Charlie Farron of Joe Perry Project and Fahrenheit,
Adam Sherman, Johnny Barnes, and there's a fun band called
the Scrooges which dress they dress up in Santa outfits.
I guess I've never seen him, and they do iggy
pop covers. And folks from BCM will be there, Carter Allens,
(03:00):
Carmelita Carter Allen, Chachi Shred, I'm gonna be an MC.
I don't know if I'll be on all day or
whether I'll be bringing other people up as well to
share the duties. Plus, I think you would dig this.
Lots of hundreds of photos and T shirts and posters
and jackets from John Boy's collection, and I've seen some
(03:23):
of the items, including this Killer Rowing Stones jacket and
a couple of J. Giles jackets and.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
At last for sale, Yah, you bid on them silent
auction style.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
I don't know. Then, I don't think there's gonna be
I mean, I can't speak to this for sure, but
I don't think there's going to be an actual voice auction,
you know, like can I get a hundred? Can I
get two hundred? I got two hundred. Can it's not
like that.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
I think.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
I don't know how they will be sold some form
of auction, I believe, Okay, but if somebody wants some
bad enough that you know, might be able to get them.
Tickets are very reason and it's in the daytime. It
starts at two thirty, I believe, two thirty until till
about seven, Yeah, two thirty to seven. It's also all ages, so.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
And you're you're gonna be there at the beginning or
maybe throughout the entire five plus hours. Okay, Oh yeah,
I'm all.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
I'm all in on this because it's gonna be like
as far as I canna tell, it's gonna be like
nineteen eighty three, or with all of the people in
the bands from that time, the people in the DJs
from that time, and the uh a lot of the
people who went to the shows from that time. You're
gonna if you were in the scene, you're gonna probably
(04:43):
see a lot of people, you know, And if you
just want to a little hint of what it was
like back then, when there was a real community around
the rock scene in Boston, then it's worth showing up.
I mean, it's low Dough I'm not gonna give out
the ticket for but it's trust me low.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
And is Private light I'm sorry? Is Private Lightning one
of the bands because they were a big band back
then in the eighties into the nineties.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
It was Adam Sherman in Private Lightning. I might be
stumped on that.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
I think he was at one point.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Okay, well, Adam Sherman is going to be there. I'm
a little faced on that for sure, but it was one.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Of his bands. But I could be wrong.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
God, you know, forgive me, forgive me.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
That's okay.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Yeah, And there there are certain names being floated of
people who might show up that I just can't disclose
because it's not one hundred percent, but other names. And
I just think it's such an interesting thing. I mean,
it's very local thing the Boston music scene, and so
(05:59):
many people listening now remember they went out to one
club or another. Maybe it was the Paradise, or maybe
it was the Channel for a BC and lunchtime concert
or any you know Storyville in Kenmore Square, how about
that one? Or streets on comm app all these little
clubs that gradually went away. And it's not just the
(06:22):
clubs that went away, but the camaraderie, the community and
the love kind of went away. But tomorrow I think
it returns at the paradise.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
So my in studio producer Nancy just looked up private
lightning and you were right. Yeah, Adam, Thank.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
God, Adam, thank god.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
You know Okay.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
And by the way, I need to thank Sean McNally
from the former manager of the channel. He's doing the
heavy lifting on organizing all this. And also thanks to
John Graham who used to get guests from me sometimes
he you know, he it was kind of his brain
child partly, So thanks to all those folks that are,
you know, involved in putting this together. They don't get
(07:06):
enough credit.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
And if I'm not mistaken, because I kind of half
pay attention to the weather forecast, like I hear them
obviously twice an hour when I fill in for Dan Ray.
But if I'm not mistaken, it's supposed to be a
nice day tomorrow somewhere in the somewhere in the forties
for December. That's a bonus. And sunlight not clouds.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Yep, sunlight for about three hours, right, yeah, hopefully you'll
be this three hour time period between two and five
thirty yep.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
So I'm super duper excited. I'm gonna like shave and everything.
It's a big deal.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
You're gonna shave for this.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
I'm not gonna shave my beard, but you know, when
you get a beard, it's so easy to not trim
it and like let them grow.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Oh don't, don't I know. I'm I let.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
It go sometimes for weeks. But tomorrow I'm gonna do
the straight razor shave and just look my very best.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Now, once again, tell people the address of the Paradise,
because there's some people that don't know to look on
carm Alves.
Speaker 3 (08:15):

There's one open line. Grab it and you'll be the

go to San Francisco and speak to David. David, you've
(12:07):
been waiting four days for this.
Speaker 6 (12:10):
You better believe it. And first of all, we'll thank
you for the dispensation for allowing me to call. I
called earlier in the week, So thank you. And first
of all, I have to say when I think Morgam
White Junior and I think of Bradley JA, I can't
(12:30):
help us think. Now there's a pair of the Beats
a full house.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
I wish I could I wish I could work that
in Vegas.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
Yeah, Bradley, let me ask you. There's two actors. One
is Tony J and the other is Ricky J. Any relation, jesus,
I know Ricky J.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
But who is the first the other.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
One ying once he was in a he did a
walk on on the Golden Girls.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Yet no, there was also John Jay, the founding father
something like that. Well, yeah, none of them related to
me as far as I know.
Speaker 6 (13:17):
Okay, well just uh yeah, I love Ricky Jay. Oh
he was.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Something a very good magician. Yeah, that was.
Speaker 6 (13:26):
Just that was his first profession was he was a yeah,
a journeyman musician and.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Troop one of the best light of hand performers you've
ever seen or not.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
He was supposed to meet this uh woman for an
interview and it was obviously I didn't like each other
at the beginning, And he went to a restaurant and
sat down and was facing each other and she's holding
a newspaper up and she pulled the newspaper down and
there was a one foot cubic block of ice on
the table. And then how he did that? But I
(14:04):
just thought that was just incredible. But anyhow, and one
more thing I want to ask, because I know you
heard of the local band. They're local by means of
New England as from Rhode Island called Combustible Edison.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
I've heard of him. They they're kind of a novelty band, right,
they do something weird.
Speaker 6 (14:26):
Well, the thing is they employ every genre of music
you can think of, from surf to punk to R
and B jazz and everything, and they're really talented musicians
and then mostly instrumentals. They do do a boss version

Speaker 5 (17:42):
Oh I don't either. I know what.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
You get a crush on every woman you hear? Well,
almost well, I would say eighty five of the women
you hear, whether they guests or on TV, or in
the movie or singing U fronting a band, you were
in love? Yeah, you know.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
One of the my all time favorite like ongoing things
when I was the overnight host was Glenn's romance real
or imagined romance with the waitress at the Eagle Deli
in uh.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
I was Talk Show Gold. That was.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
It was Talk Show Gold.
Speaker 5 (18:30):
It was I was. I remember when I called Mark
we Lla would say you weren't on this week? Were you?
And I'm like no, he goes good. You know he
was doing the show.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
But yeah, because it was like Jerry Seinfeld, you know,
Glenn had a crush on his waitress. And then one time,
I remember this, you were crushed because you ordered French
fries and she gave you some other kind of potatoes
and you said something and she said, I don't have time,
and you were heartbroken.
Speaker 5 (18:59):
Correct, she was supposed to give me hash proms and
she gave me French fries instead. At eight o'clock in
the morning, That's what it was.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Something like that, and you thought, oh my god, she
does not love me.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
Yeah, because I had a hash and cheese omelet and
she's there were French fries in there. I'm like, whoa was? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
There are three people that owe me a phone call
that we well two of them, you know, and one
of them is Wayne Greenside, is the guy with the
horse from the post office. And Tom Fuller, the electrician,
the guy that worked at the TGI Friday's with you.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
If you were a character on Seinfeld's, which one do
you think you'd be? Would you be Kramer or George
or Jerry? Which are you more like?
Speaker 5 (19:51):
Well, I'm gonna because I'd be Constanza. Yeah, which one,
we'll see. I'd be the Tromungeon if there was. When
I wasn't a huge Steinfeld fan, I like the Electric
Beast music. That was the only reason I listened to
it the.

You know somebody up to Now Glenn, what's the modern
Glenn up to?
Speaker 5 (20:16):
Well, I go to uh, you know pro Trump rally's
at the Statehouse of course, when I met and there's
a woman named Christine dohert he owes me a phone call.
She gave me a Trump flag at six foot tall.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
And I guess you kind of like her voice too.
Speaker 5 (20:34):
Yeah, she has a voice like the woman on the
the dream James for Dreams James By Dreams commercial, the
one that's stuck in traffic and the guy says, tell
me if around my stink's broken. She goes called Jeams
Trained by James, you know the commercial fast, the one
she sounds like.

Yes, there was right at the train station San antoniop
So back wait a minute, folks, backing up a little
bit of the story. I took the train from New
Orleans to Los Angeles, and train only stops like once,
and that's right there in San Antonio. Stays for four hours.
I had time to get off, see the Alamo at
(22:57):
right and go to a little bar by the train station.
Looked like it was in a house, but everybody was
super friendly. It seemed like like they knew me for
one hundred years. Let me get you a drink, guy,
It was pretty great. Love it.
Speaker 7 (23:13):
Yeah, you're worth bumps to count to dinner.
Speaker 3 (23:18):

Speaker 7 (23:21):
The next time you're taking your train ride, stop Santoni.
Come on over the house. We'll give you dinner.

Speaker 3 (23:30):
I'll have to have to give Morgan your address, so
i'll have it with me when I go.
Speaker 7 (23:35):
Yeah, yeah, I used to call you. You were a
late night guy. After I got bored with that rhino
from rate to twelve, I had a real liberal to
fight with.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
So, hey, what do you do all day? How do
you spend how do you spend your day? What do
you do?
Speaker 7 (23:57):
I'm a retired engineer. I'd spend my day and two
great grandchildren.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Well, that's great. That's nice. You get to do that.
When you say engineer, do you mean like to uh designer?
Speaker 2 (24:15):
All right.
Speaker 7 (24:17):
I worked on recumberines and autimobiles and aircraft, uh, farm equipment,
special machines too.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
See, how did you learn to do all that stuff?
That's hard work. I wouldn't want to do that too hard.
Speaker 7 (24:34):
He's just sitting there the drawing board dreaming up ideas.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
That's pretty cool. Well, good for you. He sounds great.
It sounds sound healthy. Anyway.
Speaker 7 (24:45):
I used to bite to work every single day that
I worked, every day of the year. I got so
addicted to it. I did it in the snow and
the ice and the wind, and every one night I
got my toes off frost pitten. Lucky for me, I
it was them. They all came back to life.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
That's good.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Great, that's a that's a bonus. Let me tell you,
Uh what is that? What do you call that area?
That they got this little river, but they built this
walkway by the river in sand.
Speaker 5 (25:16):
Of the riverwalk.
Speaker 7 (25:18):
Yeah, the river walk.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Yep. I made it to the river walk. That's as
far as I got.
Speaker 7 (25:24):
Yeah, there's a lot of there's a lot of Spanish
uh stores there in Mexican and my wife she she
was a real dark haired galo anyway, and she used
to like to wear that that same material, and we'd
always shop for material there on the river walk for
my wife to make her dresses and all.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Yeah, Well, so is it warm down there? It's really
cold up here. It's been pretty darn cold. In my

fifties at night.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
That's the wintertime Boston. Yeah, but uh, summertimes, summertime, isn't
San Antonio uninhabitable? Kind of everyone has to go underground.
Speaker 7 (26:19):
It's not very nice. It's not very nice. I always
gotta I don't have it here on the top of
my head, so it's got to wear a hat when
I go outdoors because about for ten minutes it just
burns top of my head. I mean, it's done. Really,
it's really hot, dry.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Heat, as they say down there, is it dry?
Speaker 7 (26:38):
It's kind of dry? Yeah, because we're very low on water, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Even if it's a dry heat. It's no fun when
small animals are exploding because it's too hot.
Speaker 7 (26:48):
It's here, I know, I know, it's it's you always
got to make sure you got water in your end
up getting dizzy. Lack of water in your body.
Speaker 3 (27:00):

radio on.
Speaker 7 (28:13):
You'd be talking and.
Speaker 8 (28:14):

Speaker 8 (29:20):
Yeah, yeah, I mean it's just like when you do
a benefit of such of that to for for an individual,
I like to see everybody come out for that that

up the support an individual like that, So it's it's
incredible you're doing God's work, as they would say, and.

thirty five degrees.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Now back to Dan way Line from the Window World
Life Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Dan is off tonight. I wish I could have a
nickel for every time I've had to say that this week,
I'm Morgan Morgan White Junior, one of my best friends.
I won't say my best friend, but I will extend
that a little bit to one of my best friends.
Bradley Jay is here and he's got an event he's
going to be a part of tomorrow. So let's pretend
(31:30):
that there are people calling now that weren't around at
the top of the hour. What are they going to
witness tomorrow with you with the Paradise.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Okay, so folks, imagine this. If you will remember back
in the day how excited you were when you went
to the clubs in Boston. Man, things kind of change
and you got married, you had kids maybe, or you
got a job and you kind of got out of that.
But remember the excitement. Will you can relive that excitement
for real tomorrow at the Paradise at nine to sixty
(32:00):
seven commav in Boston, just like it's always been. Because
there's a benefit to memorialize and raise money for a
cause for a guy named John Boy Franklin who's a
guy in the scene, and to celebrate and to memorialize
all these folks are coming out. I'll certainly be there
(32:21):
as MC. Other people on stage include Karma Leda from
BCN and Kygie Allen and Chacci and Shred and maybe
more and bands like Fred Big City Rockers featuring Fred
Panoa of the Atlantics, Dog Maddics, Tremendous Boston Band and
Charlie Farron, Joe Perry Project from Joe Perry Project and Fahrenheit,
(32:44):
Adam Sherman from Souls in Private, Lightning Johnny Barnes, and
there's going to be memorabilia, but real deal memorabilia there
for sale, a live and silent auction, and that goes
The benefit is for the Italian Home for Children in JP.
(33:06):
They assist in house. They assist house and educate the
youth of Boston, not just Italians but everybody. They've been
around for one hundred plus years, so it's a good cause.
But most of all, you get to remember that little
thing of excitement, and who knows, maybe run into somebody
that you knew from some radio station or some band
that you met before, or somebody who was a fan.
(33:29):
When you were a rock fan back in the eighties,
it was a wonderful time, and that magic is gonna
return tomorrow at the Paradise at two from two to seven.
I'm there the whole time. I'm completely in on this,
and I'm going to check out the stuff that is
available to purchase by auction. There's a Rolling Stones jacket.
(33:53):
Oh wait a minute. Sean McNally, the guy who is
putting us together, just sent me a photo of some
of the jackets. Okay, there's a little what looks to
be leather. Look, I'm looking at a little picture here
with the Rolling Stones lips and tongue logo. There's a
(34:15):
Jay Giles band, there's an Arrowsmith one. There's another Jay
Giles band jacket, and there's this. There's a jacket that's
looks like black satin and it says nineteen seventy two. Stones.
Can't read the rest of it. It's got like a
one die of like one half of a pair of dice. Now,
(34:36):
I don't know that if this is legit as far
as the provenance, I can't vouch for that. I don't know.
But when you go you, you know, find out the
Jay Giles jacket. Imagine having that a Jay Giles Jackson.
There's a Jackson's jacket, and this is stuff that was
I guess collected by the person that's being memorialized, John
(34:57):
Boy Franklin and some of the Jackets badly.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
When you say Jackson's, that's the name that Jackson five
went by after they left Motown and went to Epic.
Is that the Jackson's to what you're referring.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
Yeah, yeah, you might think that's weird, but it's See.
This is the thing about John Boy Franklin. He seemed
to know everybody, and he got into places a no
you know, you couldn't get in, and he got to
know people. I would be surprised that he knew. So
this the real deal. I'm just looking at a picture,
(35:32):
so I can't be sure.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
But we know the controversy of the Jackson's when they
played this area because Chuck Selvin of the Patriots same
he put the money up for them to play at
Foxboro Stadium and the town of Foxborough did not want
(36:00):
them to play there, and there was a big controversy.
So maybe that's where this jacket came from.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
When they was that during the time of the Jacksons
rather than Jackson five.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Yes, it was Oh wow, that was if I'm not mistaken.
The name of the tour was Destiny, and that was
his Destiny tour in the early eighties.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
I hate to ask this, but then the natural question
is why didn't they want him to play.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
They just felt that it would be too much of
a zoo because of Michael Jackson mania of that time.
But he was doing this Destiny tour with his brothers
and if you want me to expand the father Joe
Jackson wanted Michael to do one more tour to give
(36:52):
his brothers a chance to make some of the money
that was out there. Huh, and fought the town council
and Foxborough did not want that to happen because they
figured they would be just too much happening around Michael Jackson.
And you know, Michael Jackson. Let's put it this way.
(37:15):
You can have a Rolling Stones concert or Michael Jackson concert.
Foxborough had both, and the Rolling Stones, who you would
have thought could have been problematic, it went off without
a hitch. But what are you going to do? I
didn't make any decisions. They do not ask my opinion
(37:36):
back then.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
I know, that's too bad. I'm surprised. Yeah, they said,
well that's really interesting. That's the thing about you, Morgan,
you know more than any other man alive. And that
I'm not saying that. I'm serious, I tell you. Of course,
it's so weird when Morgan would come in after me,
as you know, Morgan Ida, and Morgan's preparing his show
(38:00):
outside the studio, and I'd come out for a break
and say, Morgan, ask me a question. I'd make him.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
Ask and what did I And what did I say?
What did I say? Give me a subject? What topic?
Speaker 3 (38:14):
You'd say, my topic? And I would usually say, I
don't know, world War two?
Speaker 2 (38:19):
And I would give you world War two questions.
Speaker 3 (38:21):
But I didn't care because I was always just so
impressed that you knew that both the question and the answer.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
Now, I only have like two minutes left to the hour.
Is there an email or website or two tin cans
in a string that people can get in touch with
you or maybe follow all the Bradley J. Things that
you do.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
Oh yeah, dude, I'm glad you asked right now, Okay,
you just go to just google Bradley J. Wix wix.
I haven't you know that's it. That'll do it, and
it takes you to a website with links to everything
that I do, including the travel Bradley Jay Travel YouTube channel.
(39:06):
By the way, that a new video's coming up and
soon because I'm going to Villnis, Lithuania, believe it or
not to do a video. There's also original music. There's
another thing that I do musically with a collaborator called
Bridge Bender, and there's links to everything there at the bio.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
And I wanted to make sure you gave that information
up because as you could tell, you've got a lot
of fans out there, and I hope tomorrow is buffo
business for you, a huge success for the charity and
I'll have you one sometime in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (39:46):
Cool. Thank you so much for dedicating the time to
this event. It's for great cause. It's a real Boston
local event, and you know, good on you for letting
me go on and on about it.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
No problem, Bradley, you take care all right. People. Next hour,
my buddy, Lieutenant Bruce Apothecar, formerly of the Newton Police
Department the City of Newton. Time and temperature nine point
