Sunday Afternoon Fever, Triple J live to air 15th November 1992 and I’m heavily celebrating International Village People Day.
We had original Village People members David Hodo (Construction Worker) and Felipe Rose (Native American) live in the studio to take listeners’ questions and take some Polaroid photos with me … which were the prizes later in the show for Maynard’s Mastermind, we were that cheap.
The people at home are sitting there thinking – “Tonight, I want to see something cheap and vulgar.”
David Hodo -Village People
Some of the questions for David and Felipe included:
John (Adelaide) – Why a construction worker?
James (Sydney) – Why is David’s nickname “Scar”?
Caroline (Perth) – Is Glenn Hughes’ (Leatherman) back as hairy as his chest?
Marissa (Sydney) – Do they have any costumes to wear in front of their friends?
Caroline (Melbourne) – “Village People are the best band in the world ever!”
Elvis (Gold Coast) – Remake Blue Hawaii with Village People.
Mrs Fred Sinatra has gone missing at the Sands Casino buffet in Las Vegas, so I call them to see if I can find her.
This show featured a lot of technical trouble with the new Poul Kirk digital audio desks that were installed throughout the Ultimo ABC at that time. We had to reboot (which took between 5-7 minutes) two or three times during the live broadcast, which meant moving to another studio briefly, then back again to maintain continuity. I really did miss broadcasting from Triple J’s William St Sydney studios. We rarely experienced technical issues as often there. Except when Micheal Tunn spilt cola into the desk. But that only happened once…
Lance and The Hollywood Kids dish the very 1992 Tinsel Town gossip (Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Alladdin, Jack Nicholson, U2 & the Madonna Sex book).
While listeners Michelle (North Ryde), Julian (Newcastle) & Peter Young a current Patreon supporter (Castle Hill) play Maynard’s Mastermind. This week it was top to bottom Village People questions.
Movie man Peter Castaldi reviews Can’t Stop The Music and the 1992 releases Honeymoon In Vegas and the final ever Carry On movie with Julian Clary, Carry On Columbus.
