Hullabaloo!: The Life and (Mis)Adventures of L.A. Radio Legend Dave Hull
"The Hullabalooer" rocked the legendary KRLA during the station's premier years. He went on to rock, honk, spin, and giggle on other L.A. giants like KFI, KGBS, and KMPC. He had his own massive fan club and even a hit song written about him.
From Dave's honorary title of the "Fifth Beatle" for his insider involvement with the Fab Four; to his ground-breaking Lovelines show; to stunts like "Hulloween," the junky parade float, and the hot air balloon promotion that didn't exactly "fly"; to his KFI years with the Dodgers and the Pete Rose voodoo doll; to the "cry-in" after his KRLA firing it's all here in Hullabaloo!
Countless inside scoops never-before-heard tales of mayhem and mischief!
Priceless vintage photos and graphics
Contributions by Dave's notable colleagues and costars, including a Foreword by radio and TV legend Bob Eubanks!
Dave's story in all its tube-torturing, transistor-twisting detail is complemented with crazed confessions from those who knew him best, including:
Baseball hall-of-famer Wes Parker
KFI sportscaster Rich Marotta
Media mogul Gary Kleinman
Mousketeer-turned-maniac, author J.J. Solari, who helped to turn Dave's Lovelines show into a nearly certifiable radio circus
Original founder of the Dave Hull Fan Club, Dr. Linda Thor
With its revealing look into the inner circle of Los Angeles radio during the golden years of AM, Hullabaloo! is a must-have for any fan of radio, music, or just plain fun!
