The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour (79)

Another page from the ACME Catalog -

Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with a 1935 Buddy Looney Tunes cartoon, directed by Jack King, Buddy's Bug Hunt:



The cartoon has one of the earliest references to an 'Acme' product - it is seen in the dream sequence, look for the 'Acme Fly Paper'.



The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour is taking a short vacation break this summer, (union rules insist that we actual let the staff out of the office now and then.) We are going to show some of the more popular shows from the past. Today the ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour is proud to sponsor today's concert, the famous 1964 T.A.M.I Show (Teenage Awards Music International.) Filmed over two night, The TAMI Show is one of the most incredible bills in Rock History, featuring the likes of Jan & Dean, The Beach Boys, the Rolling Stones, the Supremes, James Brown (in a career defining turn), Smokey Robinson and Leslie Gore (who was the headliner) among others (who all performed live.)



Highlights of this show were first presented on ABC late night TV in 1974, in a special hosted by Dick Clark with studio guests Smokey Robinson and Jan & Dean discussing the event. Jan Berry came up with the idea to ride a skateboard across Sunset Boulevard for the opening sequence of the film. Moreover, Berry also came up with the idea to carry a skateboard on stage in a guitar case.
