The Wednesday Wozz Nine @ Nine celebrates 1978.

Larry Flynt is shot and paralyzed, ult leader Jim Jones instructed 400 members of his church, "People's Temple", to commit suicide and the US stops production of the Neutron Bomb.

It was, however, a good year for singer (as Dr. Johnny Fever called her) Oblivious Neutron Bomb). It was the re-birth of toga parties everywhere thanks to Animal House. Clapton gave us "Slowhand" ... Queen delivered the "News of the World" and you could not get through a single day without hearing the Bee Gees thanks to Saturday Night Fever. Pong is out and Space Invaders take over as we rock 1978 right after Bob & Tom!

 

California Jam I in 1974. California Jam II was March 18th 1978 at Ontario Motor Speedway featuring Bob Welch with Stevie Nicks, Frank Marino & Mahogony Rush, Heart, Foreigner, Santana, Dave Mason, Aerosmith and Ted Nugent. The Band Rubicon won a "Battle of the Bands" competition to play there. One of the members of Rubicon, Jack Blades< went on to form Night Ranger.
