It seems that the new Dutch Elm has been black-listed by the Rock community for an unfortunate incident that happened at Silverbell some time ago. Rockin’ Reggie, maniacal pivot of the Elm made a gross error in hiring some thieving chomp he didn’t know well. The story is that said chomp lifted an amp from the Pursuit and showed up at the Rock & Roll Revival claiming to have worked at a straight job to cop this new amp. The Pursuit immediately recognized the missing piece and had attorney John Levy exercise his perogative. Said chomp, needless to say, has not been with the Elm since that moment and it definitely seems that the rest of the band were the victims of an unfortunate circumstance. This should be acknowledged by the community and a fine band should again be allowed to play.
WABX’s free concert at Wayne State’s Tartar field was an everyday run-of-the-mill, fantastic event. This was the first of a series of “Detroit Happenings” sponsored by Mayor Jerry’s office.

The fantastically together SRC donated the money they received from the Mayor’s Committee to Open City, as did crazed Bruce, the psychedelic ice cream man.

WABX has received a new transmitter. According to John Detz, fighting station manager, the old transmitter will be used as a standby. What this means to the listener is that for no reason will the station ever go off the air again unexpectedly and in areas of the city where WABX was weak, you will be able to pick up the station on your toothbrush. Viva WABX.
