TONIGHT (Monday, Jan. 11, 2010) ON THE AMERICAN PBS CHANNEL IN YOUR AREA - "AMERICAN MASTERS - SAM COOKE"

This is a program that comes just after DJZigZag has finished reading "Boogaloo: The Quintessence Of American Popular Music" which hung all of its chapters around the life of one of New World African Music's finest voices Sam Cooke.

You may be a little confused watching tonight as to when the doc "Crossing Over" was actually made because so many of the healthy looking interviewees have now long-left this mortal coil. The film's makers had difficulties with Sam Cooke's old manager Mr. Klein and it took twelve years for the film to find its way to release.

One thing is for sure. Whatever your television habits are on a Monday night - this is a program not to be missed.

VanCity PBS viewers - KCTS Seattle at 9:00pm (Ch27 cable)

**WE ARE RE-DESIGNING THE WAGRadio BLOG** NOT ONLY BECAUSE WE WERE HACKED - BUT BECAUSE IT WAS TIME * *

BY USING THE PHOTO OF RUGGED BAD BOYZ WE REALIZE WE'RE MAKING IT LOOK AS IF DJZIGZAG OR SWEET DADDY FONK WONG or SOME OF THE OTHER MALES CONNECTED TO WAGRadio HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE CURRENT REDESIGNING OF THE WAGRadio BLOG . . .

BUT IN REALITY THE GENIUS OF MISS A (The original blog designer & current blog manager) IS AT MAD WORK DECIDING HOW THE

**ALL-NEW** 2010 WAGRadio BLOG WILL LOOK & WORK AND FUNCTION.

IT SHOULD ALL BE UP AND RUNNING IN A FEW WEEKS (?).

IN THE MEANTIME WAGRADIO.BLOGSPOT.COM WILL BE FUNKSHUNING PERFECTLY AND NEW POSTS WILL BE ADDED FOR WAGRadio LISTENERS AND FANS (although you may find that the WAGRADIO.COM may not be working for a few weeks).

I HOPE YOU DIDN'T LOG IN RECENTLY WHEN WE WERE HACKED.

IF YOU DID - WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE FOOL WHO PLACED THE PORNOGRAPHY ON OUR SITE.

NIECES & NEPHEWS AND SONS AND DAUGHTERS ASK US WHO WAS THE GREATEST STAGE PERFORMER IN THE LAST 60 YEARS - WAS IT MICHAEL ? ? - NUH UH . . . . JAMES !

RECENTLY, DJZIGZAG'Z NIECES ANNA MARIA and AMANDA D. - EITHER STATED THAT, OR ASKED IF - OUR BELOVED MICHAEL, WAS THE GREATEST DANCER AND PERFORMER OF ALL-TIME.

THEY POSED THE QUESTION TO ASSEMBLED FAMILY GROUPINGS AND DJZZ FOUND HIMSELF SAYING THAT, "ALTHOUGH THE KING OF POP WAS WONDERFUL . . . IF HE WAS STANDING IN FRONT OF THEM WHEN THEY ASKED IT - MICHAEL, HIMSELF, WOULD ANSWER THEIR QUESTION BY SAYING THAT THE GODFATHER OF SOUL - THE HARDEST WORKING MAN IN SHOW BUSINESS - MR. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE - JAMES BROWN - - WAS THE GREATEST DANCER AND ENTERTAINER OF THE LAST FIFTY-PLUS YEARS" - - - AS VISUAL PROOF - THIS VIDEO FROM THE LADS ACROSS THE POND IN JOLLY OLD KNOWN AS MOFUNKONE . . . ILLUSTRATES THE POINT ! ! !
