Dutch Documentarians Do Dearborn in search of Uncle Russ

 May 13, 2007

Ahh Socialism. Holland is one of those countries where all you have to do is petition the government and you may just get your documentary project funded. That’s what Wouter van Opdorp did. Last fall Wouter wrote us in search of the Paul McCartney Death Hoax story, and the WKNR-FM jock who amplified the most famous Beatle urban legend to the international stage. Russ Gibb agreed to a rare interview on the subject and thanks to the largesse of the Dutch Government, Wouter and his team descended on Dearborn to get the scoop.

The Keener Almanac

(1968) Bowing to public pressure, the second Monterey Pop Festival is canceled. $52,000 is discovered missing from the previous festival's profits. Bookkeeper Sandra Beebe can't be located.
(1968) McArthur Park by Richard Harris reaches number 2 on the WKNR Music Guide, where it will stay for 3 weeks. It's the longest record yet to score airplay in the realm that prefers 3:30 songs.
