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.

30 years ago this week, on a Sunday far, far away Sunday Afternoon Fever blasted across the 1993 landscape of Australia on Triple J…

Kirk Pengilly, world famous saxophonist from INXS was my special guest taking questions from live callers Molly, Lance, Rick, Damien, Jenny, Claire (Darwin), Fran (Syd), Melissa (Melb), David, Liz (Melb), Craig, Claire (Manly Vale), Erika, Elaine (Melb), David (Syd), Elvis Presley (Newcastle), Big Dave (Kempsey), Sam, Melissa, Luke, Vanessa and Paul (Brisbane). INXS latest album at the time was Full Moon, Dirty Hearts.

Their questions for Kirk Pengilly range from “What new bands do you like?” (Juice & You Am I) to “Do you remember what happened at the Kempsey RSL that night you supported Richard Clapton in 1980?”. (Let’s just say no bands were allowed there for a few years after the “incident”). Kirk turns up on the show 1 hour 55 minutes in.

INXS with their first single Simple Simon on Simon Townsend’s Wonderworld in 1980.

Listen to INXS at the 1992 Concert for Life, make up your own mind.

Other world altering events that afternoon include Steve in Adelaide forgetting to tape The Late Show last night. Lance & The Hollywood Kids gossiping about George Micheal, Rosanne, Corey Ham, Sharon Stone plus the shocking revelation that Brooke Shields was seen buying a book.

Crappy New Releases from Dr Ektomy and Mario Lanza. While Maynard’s mastermind finds Andrew wiping the floor with all the other contestants to win not only the new Duran Duran album, BUT also a picture of Nick Kershaw.

Always in step with international politics, I put in a call to order some new furniture for Boris Yeltsin. You know, just to be helpful.

I report on the Soloway sisters latest production from the opening night in LA Not Without My Nipples. Starring Janeane Garofalo, who was nice enough to give me a lift back to my hotel. Thanks for that.
