We are very happy and excited to announce that BellMojo Brings Burlesque To Long Island is going to be a monthly event! P. J. Finnegan’s in Levittown will be serving as our host for these events and we will once again be collaborating with the wonderful gals from Sugar Shack Burlesque. Our first event will be on Friday, April 2nd and will be called BAD GIRLS ON GOOD FRIDAY and our musical guest will be CRAVING STRANGE!

I have to mention that you can listen to Craving Strange being interviewed by the legendary DAVE RABBIT here. If you don’t know who Dave is,  he was the man behind Radio First Termer, a Pirate Radio Station which broadcasted nightly, January 1, 1971 to January 21, 1971, from Saigon during the Vietnam War.

According to Dave’s site “Radio First Termer was hosted by on-air personality “Dave Rabbit,” an anonymous United States Air Force sergeant. The show was broadcast from a secret studio in a backroom of a Saigon brothel. The make-shift studio walls were lined with mattresses to deaden the sounds emanating from the brothel. “Dave Rabbit” later admitted in an interview, that he was forced to stop broadcasting because he was fearful that his friends, who were protecting him and the show, were in imminent danger of getting in trouble by his base commander, who hated his show and suspected that someone was protecting him. The purpose of Radio First Termer, according to “Dave Rabbit”, was to “bring rock and roll to the troops on the front lines.” The station played “hard acid rock” such as Steppenwolf, Bloodrock, Three Dog Night, Led Zeppelin, Sugarloaf, the James Gang, and Iron Butterfly, bands which were popular among the troops but largely ignored by the American Forces Vietnam Network (AFVN). The music was mixed with antiwar commentary as well as skits poking fun at the U.S. Military, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard M. Nixon, the Base Commander, just to name a few. Raunchy sex and drug oriented jokes were always a tremendous part of the nightly shows.”

Way cool, right kids?
