Big of a shock that one - only read recently that he confirmed he wouldn’t direct again. Vale to the man. Man I’m getting old

Mulholland Drive was a neat movie


RIP

Earlier this week Arnold Frolows, one time 2JJJ presenter and program director passed away. He hosted the Ambient music show on Sunday nights in the 80s. He was also one of the first people to be hired by the station, which incidently will celebrate its 50th anniversary this Sunday. I was one of the shy suburban teenagers who was a listener right from the first broadcast.

Hey Tom, was it Double J when it first started? I also remember listening to the station from the early days. One I can vividly recall was this crazy new style music from an artist named Bob Marley.

It was great radio back in the day.

That it was.
Back in the pre-FM radio days.

Yes, 2JJ, 1540 on the AM band. And I remember hearing lots of Bob Marley in the early years too, though I was introduced to Bob Marley and the Wailers via Chris Winter's Room to Move show on 2BL in 1974.
