Wild in the Streets - Mark was offered the part of Max Frost, the pony-tailed president. But it was a choice of a fully-booked summer tour with Paul Revere & the Raiders or his first movie part, and he reluctantly gave up the part to Chris Jones. Here’s a link to its IMDB page. 

(By the way, Chris was managed by Rudy Altobelli, who owned the infamous Cielo Drive property where the Manson murders took place. Mark and Terry lived there prior to the murders, and Chris Jones - as well as Romeo and Juliet's Olivia Hussey - lived there afterwards.)

Fourteen or Fight, which Mark played on today's show, inspired him to do an ad-lib as part of a Raider stage bit on that almost-cancelled summer tour. Mark would get the crowd revved up with a rousing "A Raider Great in '68!" chant, and says that it scared him to see how easily a person on a platform of influence could whip up a crowd into a frenzy.

​The Wild in the Streets soundtrack with more Mann-Weil songs is available HERE.

​
Dwight Twilley - Trivia: Mark and Dwight shared the same manager in the early 1990s, Richard Duryea, who was the son of actor Dan Duryea. Richard also managed Mary Wilson of the Supremes at that time, as well as Soupy Sales. A motley crew, for sure!

You heard Dwight's SEXUAL on the show today, and the WILD DOGS project that it's on will be released in July with bonus tracks. You can pre-order it HERE​











​Terry Melcher - Today you heard Freeway Close from Terry's final solo album (1976), the Country-Mexican-Blues-oriented Royal Flush. If you play another track on that album, L.A. to Mexico, you'll notice a line ("Get there fast...take it slow") that later made its way into the Beach Boy's' Kokomo, which Terry co-wrote and produced. You can get or stream the Royal Flush album HERE.

Picture
Morning Reign - Midnight Approaches was played on today's show, and you can check out Ric Seaberg's interview about this Oregon band HERE. Want to see them on Happening 68? Unfortunately it's not a show where they play, but they do WIN the Happening Band Contest!
