[78-L] Old" Flying Sauce"r fan heard from, WAS Copyright Criminals on PBS

[Bob Rice]

  Ah guyz? "Flying Saucer was SO bad it was GOOD!? Like the OLD Godzilla 
movies? The Toho Studio offerings, in the 50's.NOT the comedy knockoff of a 
few years ago. Anyhow, Buchanan and Goodman, as I remember as a kid, DID get 
in hot water with the copy right folks. Their response was "Buchanan and 
Goodman on Trial"The punchline was;" What is your complaint against Buchanan 
and Goodman?"" They wouldn't give me a ride in their flying saucer!"Of 
course as a kid we wore the records out, made the same sorta stuff with my 
growing Victrola record collection with a cheezy, 20 dollar rim drive tape 
recorder, but I don't think Billy Murray cared<g>?But, as the genre "Wore 
out" the following Band G stuff wasn't as good, Santa and the Satallite " 
came out about that era, too?"Martian Melody" was on the flip side of one of 
those records? B and G on trial?It said play at 33 1/3rd or 45 rpm, settling 
the speed question?Along with "Transfusion", and "Ape Call" by "Nervus 
Norvus, were the fun records WE grew up with? Oh did we grow up?Thought it 
was pretty creative back in the uptight 50's? My Dad said;" That's AWFUL! 
They oughta SUE their ears off!" when he was exposed to Flyin' Saucer.No 
cents of humor!Haven't ya any BETTER records?" His take.He didn't think much 
of Elvis, ether.

  When ya think about it, MOVIE clips and sound bites are used nowadaze for 
fun spoofs, I GUESS the copyright folks aren't too concerned at what you 
"borrow" for yur skits? You Toobe for example?What's that one, movie, at 
Hitler's meeting with the inane subtitles in English? Scene it in several 
clips!In that it makes sheeple smile, and like B and G, are forgotten. 
Although it was tragic Dicky Goodman's demise, he brought smiles to us kids 
back in our deformative years? WHAT ever happened to the "Buchanan" in 
Buchanan and Goodman, anyhow? Was more than a forgotten US President?I 
remember a PBS thing about Dicky Goodman, by his kid, several years ago.

   Bob, old B. and G. fan. I DON'T think F.C. was on 78?
