[@pcno2832]

I remember thinking of them as something new around the fall of 1972, but I wasn't sure that they had just come out then; there might have been some less successful disposable lighters on the market before that. I do remember disposable flashlights from around that time as well. Still, it seemed unlikely that Hendrix, Joplin and and Morison would all have been holding something that was not in wide use at the time. I remember that time well enough to know that refillable lighters were everywhere, as were book matches.

[@jaysonpida5379]

The urban myth of the primal death scream in the Ohio Players "Love Rollercoaster" would be a good myth to cover. For those that don't know of it here's an excerpt from Wikipedia: "A primal scream is heard in the background fairly early in the song (between 1:24 and 1:28 on the single version, or between 2:32 and 2:36 on the album version). According to the most common legend, it was the voice of an individual being murdered live while the tape was rolling."

[@debbiespain7245]

I was always told that the scram was from someone dying on the roller coaster ride

[@mrandisg]

Fun fact: this myth was woven into a scene in the movie Urban Legend. There's a frat party scene where "Love Rollercoaster" is playing in the background and the scream is enhanced. However, instead of referring directly to the myth, they chose to explain it as someone mixed in the screams from a 911 tape of a girl being murdered. This ties into a following scene of Tara Reid's character being murdered at the campus radio station, as her screams end up being broadcast live through that same sound system, where the same guy who explained away the other screams reasons that she's doing a "performance art piece." I didn't know about the myth behind the song until I saw a behind-the-scenes piece about it years later. Wild!

As for the Ham Sandwich, that was ridiculous; it's a well known fact - now - that women and men have different symptoms for heart attacks, women often have a heart attack and are 'walking dead' for up to a week (sad, I know), there is back pain (not debilitating, but between the shoulder blades, but not always), and/or a pain in the jaw that can spread to the neck (usually misinterpreted as a pull), coupled with fatigue, and tiredness, the back pain can actually go away -- women rarely have the arm pain, nor the crushing weight on the chest, and most women who have bad heart attacks, but don't realize it, sadly die later in their sleep -- she most likely had the heart attack before or during her concert, she could also have had a cluster of small attacks with the same symptoms. If you have women in your life, please go to any of the heart sites and download a quick guide and keep it in your medicine cabinet, or somewhere where you can see it to remind yourself, you could save a woman's life (yeah, you'll probably have to drive her to just get checked out).

[@fivestring65ify]

Great episode. Rock music wouldn't be the same without the urban legends.

[@stevenfunderburg1623]

Anyone who would unsubscribe because of covering an urban legend, especially while making it clear that it's an urban legend, is a spineless safe space child who you are well rid of. For further information about the 27 Club I highly recommend the podcast "The 27 Club" brought to you by Jake from the excellent "Disgraceland" podcast 🤘

Just think if they would have signed Manson to the label, maybe he would have gone on to write music rather than leading a cult and murdering people... just saying.

[@menckenwolf]

Manson was too much of an egoist to accept any changes in his work or that you shouldn't have been an immediate star.

[@Dragonette666]

musicians and evangelists have similar personalities , but the real problem with Manson was getting involved with bikers and the hard drug scene. I think that would have happened eventually even if Manson was famous, but it may have been something more like the Stones at Altamont where bikers wind up killing a concert attendee.

Oh, brother. I wrote it before, I'll write it again- but with a twist: You will have some Garden Party moments, P.O.R. (Ricky Nelson- "You can't please everyone...") Nothing you can do about it. Keep putting out there what you choose to. People don't have to watch each episode if it's not there 'cup of tea'. 😊❤

[@TerrickTerran]

I've heard all these especially the Beach Boys/Manson of course. The Cass one makes me sad really. Her weight troubles and crash diets probably did her in but to have people think you were so in need of food it killed you.

[@ProfessorofRock]

Thanks Terrick.

[@therealhousewifeofballtown]

That yo-yo dieting is the worst. It puts stress on the heart . I believe she was also using diet pills which were basically amphetamines . I’m sure I there were several factors to cause her to die so young

Growing up during the “Satanic Panic” we were always told that Alice Cooper had gotten his stage name from a Quija board session. Knowing he is now a very outspoken Christian, I find that story is likely apocryphal.

There is a surprisingly large number of weirdos that even in 2024 are obsessed with the ridiculous notion that 'the real Paul' died in 1966 or do and was subsequently replaced by a doppelganger. It's bizarre. You don't want nutjob subscribers like that anyway.

[@ZeraphineDoll]

Wish these trolls would stop calling those that don’t agree with their opinion (and thats all it is, an opinion) weirdos and nut jobs, its so immature.

[@b.g.5869]

@@ZeraphineDoll Someone that gets angry and cancels their subscription to this channel over the professor's pointing out that Paul McCartney isn't dead _is_ a nut job and calling them that isn't trolling.

[@troodon1096]

@@ZeraphineDoll Paul isn't dead, last I checked. That is a fact, not an opinion, and people who believe otherwise aren't just people with a different "opinion," they're people willfully ignorant of an unarguably proven fact. They are weirdos and nut jobs, and should be called such. In the words of Stephen Colbert, "You're entitled to your own opinions; you're not entitled to your own facts."

[@petercena9497]

In 76' I remember being shocked when I heard that singer Keith Relf of one of my favorite bands The Yardbirds was found dead in his bathtub, guitar in hand. The true story was not that gruesome but nonetheless very unlucky. I noticed one of Debbie's pics was from her time with The Wind and The Willows. Loved that album even though it's very outdated.

Keep on telling the truth I love learning about the truth separating fact from fiction I’d rather believe the truth than the myth anyway.

I never heard the Debbie Harry Bundy tale before, wow.

[@lyndoncmp5751]

Ted Bundy never took his light (tan not white) colored VW east of Colorado, and didn't have a missing passenger door handle. That's a myth. It was the passenger SEAT he sometimes removed, but not the handle. If you take the inside door handle of a VW bug off, the outside one doesn't stay there. They are attached together. No Bundy researcher of note takes her story seriously.

[@CJG1419]

I love KZbinrs, like Professor of rock, and I appreciate and respect all the hard work they do. But boy, I absolutely HATE KZbin. They love censorship and control. There are so many stupid hoops people have to jump through just to have a conversation. Sadly, there’s gonna be more than one person, rushing to a keyboard and angrily defending KZbin ridiculous “rules“ and censorship and … whatever it’s called when they stop a KZbinr from receiving money.

[@johnathin0061892]

KZbin's censorship is complete nonsense and they need to be called out for it. Especially by creators. Glad PoR does not play along by censoring common and perfectly acceptable words, I am unsubbing from creators who do that. Enough is enough.

I remember listening to a Cubs game when I was a kid and the announcer said the Cubs choked so bad they ought to be renamed The Chicago Mama Cass. The other announcer was shocked and then the guy doubled down by saying they were no match for their rivals The San Francisco Ham Sandwiches.

[@carefreescot]

There seems to be double standards at work here on KZbin, as a few music reactors get so much grief from YT they often just give up, whilst other channels (not music) show what is bordering on the illegal but stay around for months or even years - I seriously believe some channels are attacked more than others for no obvious reasons, and of course if the process is automated then there's no way to fight back or get a fair hearing from a human.
