the rockefellers founded the tavistock institute and laurence rockefeller funded the early apple computer start up and they might have created the name 'rock and roll' coined in standard oil's hq cleveland, ohio



'Freed moved to Cleveland and, in April 1951, he was under a non-compete with WAKR. However, through the help of William Shipley the RCA distributor in Northern Ohio, he was released from his non-compete and joined WJW radio on a midnight radio program sponsored by Main Line, the RCA Distributor and Record Rendezvous.'



- alan freed's official website



the call letters for 'wkrp in cincinatti' might have been inspired by the cincinatti, ohio radio station wkrc, which was bought by the cincinatti times star newspaper from cbs (which was created out of the jp morgan owned columbia record company) in 1939



the cincinatti times star was owned by the taft family and wkrc became the flagship station of the conglomerate that became taft broadcasting



president taft broke up standard oil in 1911



by the end of ww1 in 1918 john d rockefeller became the world's first billionaire



'The late 1970s sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati is often said to be based on either WKRQ or WKRC, with the final letter being the only difference. In reality, though, the show was based on creator Hugh Wilson's experience with WQXI in Atlanta.'



- wkrc wiki



possibly the term 'rock and roll' was created in cleveland because the rockefeller foundation board member owen young created the rca that alan freed worked for



young also founded nbc



both rca and nbc were subsidiaries of j p morgan's g e



'He wrested control of the Albany and Susquehanna Railroad from Jay Gould and Jim Fisk in 1869; '



the susquehanna railroad was affectionately known as 'the suzie q' to railroad buffs



owen young took over the dawes plan, named for charles dawes, creating the young plan that created the morgan and rockefeller funded and controlled b i s bank


dawes wrote the melody for the cliff richard 1963 # 2 u k hit song 'it's all in the game'





winrock enterprises (hillary clinton's rose law firm's biggest client besides hillary board chaired walmart) was created by the 3rd generation winthrop rockefeller after he flattened a mountain outside of little rock


venrock associates, which was created by 3rd gen ufo buff laurence, funded start ups apple computers and intel


30 rock


the rockefellers also owned rko movie studios as did joseph kennedy sr who was made wealthy after becoming the youngest bank manager for the rockefeller controlled union bank corporation when the young kennedy borrowed money from friends and family to save it from a takeover


the liverpool echo's reporter derek taylor ran apple records before becoming a publicist in the u s for brian wilson, carly simon ...dennis hopper and sonny and cher (just kidding about the last three - possibly)


paul dated very seriously the lovely actress jane asher, whose father was a hypnotist and psychiatrist


her one brother peter was half of the group peter and gordon ('lady godiva')


the london, uk born american tony asher was brian wilson's writing partner when wilson had his breakdown and james taylor was admitted to the austen riggs center for 5 months in stockbridge when he had his - after his close ny city friend suzanne schnerr kilt herself while taylor was recording his debut album at abbey road


james taylor's debut album was the first american album apple records created and carly simon's dad created simon & shuster whose headquarters was in and who leased many floors in rockefeller center when david rockefeller, who might have been one of the 3 people who inspired 'your so vain' attended the 'brothers meetings' there


it will be the 50th year anniversary for the release of 'your so vain' on november 8th


james taylor lives in lenox, mass where the civil rights activist and record producer john hammond, who discovered bob dylan, grew up during the summers which is possibly why tanglewood music festival is located there


yes it is


margaret vanderbilt invited the boston symphony orchestra to her home (holmwood - which became fox hollow school) in lenox in 1936


the next year it moved onto the town line of both lenox and stockbridge to what would become tanglewood, named for nathaniel hawthorn's 'tanglewood tales' as the author had lived in a cabin there while writing it


margarate vanderbilt was william henry vanderbilt lll's step mother


music producer john hammond ll's grandmother lila sloane vanderbilt built elm court on the lenox-stockbridge town line


former rhode island governor and oss secret agent william henry vanderbilt lll rescued the historic (george washington briefly visited it) steele's corners' store in our home town from becoming a mcdonalds - with gov vanderbilt manning the gas pumps and register himself







his dad alfred gwynne vanderbilt was kilt on the lusitania and whb lll became the youngest midshipman ever in the u s navy at the u s entrance into ww1







apparently bob dylan asked me directions to the taconic trail as i hung out in front of the store around 1984, a little while after i did a bcc speech class speech about him where i learned he had visited woody guthrie when woody was stricken with huntington's disease and while there taught a very young arlo how to play the guitar







dr deidre and lech walesa




'alice's restaurant' is in stockbridge as is the guthrie center, but arlo guthrie just moved back to the berkshires from fla after a stroke in 2018 and lives in the town of washington, which borders lenox


gov vanderbilt allegedly passed away in 1981


just found out posting on abandon railways fb group that the vanderbilts' had owned penn central with william kissam vanderbilt running it until he died - until it allegedly became conrail, amtrak and csx then went out of business - after the nixon admin reneged on a $300,000 federal bail out loan - only to discover that it didn't go chapter 11 - it just became the property insurance behemoth a i g !


hmmm and 'the city of new orleans', which was the daytime Illinois central railroad train from chicago to new orleans, became an amtrak passenger overnight train from chicago to new orleans that began in 1971, after the panama limited overnight train was discontinued 


the panama limited was created originally, because the panama canal (the construction of which william howard taft oversaw) was only 3 years away from completion, which would increase rail travel between new orleans' and chicago


'On hand for the first run [of the panama limited] was Janie Jones, the widow of famed engineer Casey Jones.[7]'


- panama limited wiki


james taylor's wife is / was the publicist for the boston symphony orchestra when taylor met her in boston, and officer obie from the 'alice's restaurant' song and movie fame, got in trouble allegedly whacking a tanglewood visitor while directing traffic at the tanglewood venue, which is how i found out williamstown's robert sprague was on the boston symphony orchestra board


robert sprague was head of the gaither committee report on soviet nuclear arms and defense capabilities which williams president baxter also helped lead


mom and our two aunts worked for president baxter's fellow 1915 williams alumnus prof william ozmond wyckoff at the pentagon during ww2


our aunt eleanor lived on notch hill road in north adams and doris day had lived in a gingerbread style house at the base of notch road on route 2, which is also the mohawk trail


doris day's son terry melcher produced many of the beach boys hits and co-wrote 'kokomo'


'kokomo' was released in 1988 the year after robbie robertson released 'somewhere down the crazy river', which mentions kokomo, in 1987


robbie robertson is a mohawk



- tavistock institute and the beatles



i remember being in mr fernander's circa dec 1980 american literature class, where we read (and wrote alternative endings to) 'the catcher in the rye' and telling my friend walt (who was peurto rican and said he was one of hitler's god children (???)) that i wanted to find out what the constantly playing on the radio song 'american pie' was about - so i became fascinated with the beatles, dylan, kerouac, the beats, the 'dead, james dean, hst, r s, the merry pranksters, etc in an attempt to understand the importance of my sis's generation and what it meant to mine - that song hooked me to search for the info i jonesed for


don mclean lives in camden, maine and, like john the baptist, socrates, nietzsche, kerouac and merlin, was a madman and a prophet who just bailed on the nra convention in houston he was scheduled to perform at after the uvalde, texas school shooting


'“There was a constant state of fear in the house about the slightest thing [that] would make my dad [don mclean] turn into a crazy person,” she told the magazine.' [rolling stone]


'Jackie said her father was never physically abusive.'
