Seriously, I appreciate the DJs who fiercely resist genre pigeon-holing. True freeform programming needs risk and variety and an audience up for anything.

quick VP story: so my friends are making a low budget horror flick and it's towards end of VP's life. they're in awe of him, he's a complete gentleman, reserved, etc. Then they're confabbing and struggling with some scene he's in with a woman and Vincent Price walks up and interjects, "Well why don't we just SLIT HER THROAT!"

Last I checked, all his stuff was on the Criterion Channel. In fact, I originally discovered and signed up for the CC's precedessor ("Filmstruck") because I was looking to watch "Always For Pleasure" -- his fantastic doc on Mardi Gras, shot on location in '76 I think.

I saw Johnny, but only as part of a John Lee Hooker Tribute at Madison Square Garden. Which was great, Willie Dixon was there too.
But would have liked to see Johnny live at his own gig. One memory of that JLH concert someone threw a lighted cigarette which burned a hole in the back of my shirt. Different days!
