What will be hit song of the summer?

What'll be Song of Summer for 2026?

The new Ocean Way Festival of LA
Given the exigencies and erratic demands of the music industry nowadays, it is essential that one hit song be pushed to the top of the pop charts to rule each summer. A pop idol's shelf life could depend on it, or it might make an up and comer's career. This summer is tough because there's no obvious frontrunner. Taylor Swift? Yawn. Olivia Rodrigo has a new album, and everything she's done in the past has been so promising, but a runaway hit? Not to our ears, not this time, not even "drop dead" or "the cure." Does it have to be a new song? Technically not because SAINt JHN had "Roses" due to a remix that went viral on TikTok or Instagram or my littler sister's cellphone and dance class. We used to be able to rely on Lana Del Rey to kick out the summer jams.

PROM: Free adult dance party (6/6)


It's a prom for adults (21+) and a great chance to relive having missed it in high school.
.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Jeremiah was not a bullfrog.
Morongo is an Indian casino complex, and the ballroom was rented out so Woody could relive his frustrated childhood. He missed his prom because he was working and determined to have a career in radio. Now that he has it, gosh darn it, he's going to have a prom experience, even as a fat, depressive radio personality with waning ratings compared to the competition he and lackeys face in Los Angeles. But they're heard around the country and online through iheart.com. It started at 7:00 pm, a lot of people were dressed up, and the others were at least wearing joke tee-shirts that looked like tuxedo fronts. An amazing close-up magician named Jerimiah "Jer Bear" DeMatteis wowed the crowd with impossible feats of sleight of hand and stage magick (that may have had demonic assistance because it can't be explained, like a signed playing card ending up two stories up against the ceiling after it had just been all over the deck with a possibly buzzed Greg Gory holding a bag of Funyuns). DJ Tim played.


Adam Corolla made me famous
Jewish Co-Host Gina Grad behaved neurotic AF. Spaz band played. People played. It ended up being better than last year's. Sadly, Chubs Menace was there, using his phone to zoom in on the card on the ceiling. The gays were making time with him, and then he disappeared. He was as gone as Morgan, vomiting in her car, drunk as a furry black and white animal that stinks, missing three hours of the prom. Rick showed up too early and claims he left disgruntled, having asked the concierge where the big party was and not having the sense to plan ahead. Most people, coming in from all over the country, got hotel rooms at Morongo. "If you fail to plan, [it must mean] you plan to fail." Everyone knows that, even Bork and Menji.

Sami Gurl, meet m' Mom, Mrs. Willie!
Prom update news. It may not even be worth going now. Miss Sammi Marino's new boyfriend, Steamboat Willie, won't let her go. He's planned a family outing to Disneyland with his parents, so she's out. Guess there's always Mel' Morgan, not the pornstar, but the Mellow Melancholy One, the Lucy Goosey grrrl boxer. And Chubs Menace is sure to be snacking on something stup*d.


I was looking forward to it, Woody!
The prom is on for Saturday, June 6th, 7:00 to 11:00 pm at Morongo Casino Resort & Spa. It's free, and all are welcome. We’re taking a trip back in time, back to the ultimate prom night with 1980s cover band The Spazmatics, DJ J. Espinoza, and special guest magician Jer Bear performing close-up magic throughout the event.

Dress to impress for a chance to win prizes for Prom King, Prom Queen, Best Dressed, and more. No spiking the punch. Book a room at Morongo Casino Resort & Spa. Good times, so it's 21+. Dressing up not required but encouraged. No RSVP required.
What is a "prom"?
I need a new boyfriend. Maybe I can meet somebody at the prom. Hold on, Willie's calling.
 
High School prom couple portrait
A prom or promenade is a formal dance party for graduating high school students at the end of the school year [1, 2]. Students participating in the prom will typically vote for a prom king and prom queen [3] and/or a prom pandaka (LGBTQIA+).

Other students may be honored with inclusion in a prom court. The selection method for a prom court is similar to that of homecoming queen/princess, king/prince, and court.

Date Night at the Clubhouse
Inclusion in a prom court may be a reflection of popularity of those students elected and their level of participation in school activities such as sports or clubs [4, 5].

The prom queen and prom king may be given crowns to wear. Members of the prom court may be given sashes to wear and photographed together [6]. Similar events, which may be locally inspired by debutante balls, take place in many other parts of the world. More

WQ meeting at KROQ Comedy Show (3/13)

(OCV) What is stand-up comedyDave Chappelle explains with some examples for Johnny

WHAT HAPPENED?
The club filled up with lots of hooting and hollering patrons eager to see Johnny make a mockery of himself as he dies on stage. But there are many other standup comedians doing the heavy lifting. Vanessa actually dressed up for the evening, wearing a very low-cut blouse that makes her visibly uncomfortable, getting hit on by Blind Charlie's date. She's touching and rubbing away while High T Vanessa visibly squirms and tries to get her to stop. Jake looks like a pregnant B with a small dog strapped to his belly as he yells. The poor thing must be deaf by now as his nervous human companion tries to fade into the woodwork. Klein is sitting up front, but Ally is missing in action, having joined DJ Omar Kahn for a private confab in oblivion. The crowd roars as Johnny is forced to take the stage, six inches off the ground, with a stream of drinkers repeatedly heading for the washroom to see or smell what kind of mess Jake has made. He doesn't bomb! The crowd loves him. He's a simpleton but very affable, and he seems to have prepared some material that he didn't practice on the radio show. He even has a guitar hidden away, which he pulls out in Minute 4 to peals of "Tamales Tamales!" But he has a new song, maybe prepared for the occasion. His girlfriend in skulking in the back surprised to see the crowd participation and encouragement. He was set to fail as he does on most episodes of "Johnny Doesn't Know," but his ego has survived the ordeal. Klein cuts out and by the time Jake stumbles onto the stage as the headliners, the crickets are chirping and the crowd is getting antsy. He doesn't seem well prepared, considering himself an old hat at this, he's sure he can just wing it by memory and a cheat sheet. The crowd tries to help, but Vanessa puts down her phone and it just gets worse and worse. Meanwhile, the WQ meeting has moved to the NoHo Buddhist Temple on Oxnard, the Sarathchandra Buddhist Center. The most amazing this to come from the evening are the knowledge that The Good Nite is full of free standup, music, and open mics most nights and WQ has set its next meeting for the Kwan Yin Meditation Temple in Monrovia, hugging the foothills next to Old Town.


World Champ MJF roast Klein. Ally. Show. | Friday the 13th
(KROQ) Streamed live morning of March 13th. It's the Klein.Ally.Show. (KAS) on KROQ.com. There's snow in New York and a heatwave in Los Angeles as we all head out for the big comedy show with Host Dirty Jake Dill.

On today's show: Jewish wrestler Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF) joins KAS in studio, "Johnny Doesn't Know," "5-10-20," and more.

It's another Friday the 13th and another day of not-so-gentle ribbing, this time from All Elite wrestling star MJF (Maxwell Jacob Friedman). He stopped by the studio while gearing up to defend his AEW World Championship title. He mercilessly roasts Klein's new nose, Ally's lack of hygiene, Dirty Jake's virginity, Columbian Vanessa's odd voice, and Low T Johnny the Postman's everything.
The show also brings back 5-10-20, challenging listeners to place three KROQ alt rock songs in order: One from 5 years ago, 10 years ago, and 20 years ago.

The show also hears Low T Johnny's final ideas before his big 5-minute [self-immolation] set for tonight at the Good Nite in NoHo at 7:00 pm. Be there!

Today being Good Luck Friday the 13th, Wisdom Quarterly: American Buddhist Journal is meeting to see stand-up comic Low T Johnny from KROQ's KAS Jake Dill (Instagram) is putting on a comedy show at The Good Nite Bar tonight at 7:00 pm.
Join the entire morning zoo crew: Ally Johnson, Kevin Klein, High T Vanessa the Columbian, Dirty Jake Dill, Low T Johnny, and maybe even the elusive and never-before-seen DJ Omar Kahn.

Hispanic Heritage Month: Art Laboe radio


National Hispanic Heritage Month continues until the middle of October, as we approach Halloween, Samhain, and El Dia de Los Muertos (The Day of the Dead). Many Southland Latinos fondly remember Armenian AM DJ Art Laboe.

National Hispanic Heritage Month (Spanish Mes nacional de la herencia hispana) is annually observed from September 15 to October 15 in the United States for recognizing the contributions and influence of Hispanic culture to the nation's achievements, culture, and history [1][2].

Please attend our prom. Free (6/21)


WHAT HAPPENED?
This was not a one-off event. Let's look back to when Ravey was around.

We're the popular ones everyone looks up to.
What is a PROM? It's some kind of dance at the end of school in the States marking the beginning of summer. Of course, it's more than that -- coming of age, a rite of passage, saying goodbye to childhood during the transitional teens to work or college or both. The All-American ritual was made famous by Fall Out Boy in their hit song "Dance Dance."
  • What in the world is "homecoming"? Is it the football team (reminiscent of a high school's army) returning after battle on other campuses? When warriors football players get "home" are they coming on account of cheerleaders and other females and select males throwing themselves at them in an ancient ritual of post-war procreation to ensure the country (campus) does not run out of progeny? American sociology, anthropology, and social psychology would be fascinating.

Music by the Spazmatics (a melding of Devo and the Plasmatics)
The Plasmatics couldn't make it, and Devo has a tour, so the show managed to book the Spazmatics:

Fall Out Boy are All-American rejects
A promenade dance or "prom" is a formal dance party for graduating high school students at the end of the school year [1, 2]. Students participating in the prom typically vote for a prom king and prom queen [3] or a nonbinary equivalent.

Other students may be honored with inclusion in a prom court. The selection method for a prom court is similar to that of homecoming queen/princess, king/prince, and court.

Inclusion in a prom court may be a reflection of popularity of those students elected and their level of participation in school activities, such as clubs or sports [4, 5].


The prom queen and prom king may be given crowns to wear. Members of the prom court may be given sashes to wear and photographed together [6].

But whatever happens, sex does not happen and no one spikes the punch with any social lubricant, because if either of these things happens, it could result in teen pregnancy and a sentence of a long, dull suburban life or a sentence in a tenement in one of America's urban jungles. More

You really expect me to settle?! Okay. Tonight.

What is The Woody Show?
Could Lee Ving's FEAR be hired to play next year's prom instead of the Spazmatics?

Fat Menace and slim Sammi (The Woody Show)
There is a smarmy Elon Musk loving and often purposely offensive smart guy surrounding himself with numb-numbs. His name is Sebastian (Sea Bass), aka the Cart Narc. There's a cool gal with nearly nothing to say, Sammi, as she feels out of place or is worried about losing her job under Tyrannosaurus Pecker. There's Gina Grad brown nosing to lap up whatever favor she can. And there's the deplorable mascot moron (who looks amazingly like Woody) named Menace. Oh and a gay traffic and weather guy, Gregory (Greg Gory). Missing is old Ravey because who knows what in the heck happened to her. And there's Morgan, the Daria of the show. They're just back from their cruise and on to Morongo Casino for a big prom, in another desperate bid for ratings. So come party with all of them. DRESS UP. (Note: There is NO dress code, so dress down if you like. It's FREE. Don't gamble or it'll be very costly). "Alt 97" (KYSR FM) is the Los Angeles HQ of the syndicated morning show (iheart.com). The show is pope-unapproved.
