Mad Daddy! A Celebration of How Cleveland Changed Rock Radio
July 24 @ 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm
On the Wednesday, July 24 edition of “Dare Waves”, Neal and his sometimes radio side-kick Reverend Comrade X will air an interview with Mike Olszewski, author of the new book “Mad Daddy – Myers, Mintz, and the Moondog and how Cleveland Ohio changed Rock Radio”. In addition to the interview, Dare Waves will air radio bits from The Mad Daddy, and music from The Cramps, Andre WIlliams, Screaming Jay Hawkins, and more.
The interview will air before the event “Mad Daddy! A Celebration of how Cleveland changed Rock Radio” which takes place on Saturday July 27 at 2PM, at the Music Box Supper Club. This event is FREE and open to the public.
Hosted by Mike and Janice Olszewski (with special guests), the event tells the story of Pete Myers and his on-air persona, the Mad Daddy, a legendary 50’s Cleveland radio DJ. Pete Myers “The Mad Daddy.” was a Northeast Ohio radio legend thrilling Cleveland and Akron audiences with a rapid-fire delivery over early rock and roll. Born from the pages of Mad magazine, Famous Monsters of Filmland, and his own twisted humor, The Mad Daddy gave his legion of followers a whole new way to communicate and helped define the power and influence of the youth culture that emerged in Cleveland in the 1950s.
