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

Speaker 4: be this three hour time period between two and five
Speaker 4: thirty yep.

Speaker 3: It's a big deal.
Speaker 2: You're gonna shave for this.

Speaker 3: it and like let them grow.

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

Speaker 3: me go on and on about it.
