*Pirate radio's last Emperor* [ Courtesy of Variety Magazine, April 6,
1997 ]
*NAME:* Michael Pasternak, also known as Emperor Rosko
*DESCRIPTION:* DJ on 1960's pirate station Radio Caroline
*LAST SEEN:* Reclaiming the airwaves in Calabasas.
In the U.K. of 1965, hip entrepreneurs got around BBC restrictions
mandated by Harold Wilson's Labor government by beaming rock 'n' roll
music to the mainland from floating transmitters outside territorial waters.
Great Britain's rock-famished listeners tuned in to Radio Caroline,
where Emperor Rosko was the 'highly rated, often imitated, but rarely duplicated mayor of mayhem.'
'We liberated England', says the former 'toe-tapping, hand-clapping,
lean, mean record machine' now living a quieter existence Stateside at
his ranch in Calabasas, a semi-rural area north of Los Angeles. There,
Emperor Rosko is known by his given name, Michael Pasternak.
Pasternak/Rosko spun the sounds of Motown and Stax, the Moody Blues, the
Kinks, Stones and Beatles from a 200-foot rust-bucket freighter anchored
four hours offshore. Beginning at Radio Caroline and going on to Radio
One, Emperor Rosko was the toast of Swinging London. He was also the
first in Europ to take records on the road with lighting and invented
the mobile DJ business.
Most who only knew the voice believed the jive-talking DJ ('I'm rough,
tough and hard to bluff') was black. In fact, the young white man behind
the voice of pirate radio was a product of Hollywood. He was the
rebellious son of producer Joe Pasternak, the man who made 'Destry Rides
Again' with Marlene Dietrich, and 'Spinout' with Elvis Presley.
'I didn't like the movie business, 'Pasternak says now, 'maybe because I
grew up with it'
Today, the Beverly Hills industry kid who grew up with Cyd Charisse,
Elvis, and Mario Lanza lounging by the backyard pool has his own
recording studio, where he puts together 40 weekly hours of radio shows
for 15 radio stations in the U.K. and others in Europe. he also runs his
own party DJ business, and has been known to spin discs for wingdings
from ABU Dhabi to Hollywood.
But he acknowledges things are tame now compared to when he used to bob
about on the high seas beneath a 50,000 watt transmitter for two weeks
at a stretch and buzz around London on hi Norton 750 during shore leave
with a 'bird' hanging on.
Pasternak was notorious for throwing records he didn't like through the
portholes, even when they were on the label of the record company that
owned the boat. He was fired repeatedly for hijinx such as sabotaging a
Christian evangelist, who'd bought time on the station, by mixing in the
sounds of lovemaking with the religious chorales. Payola was the norm.
('I never played a record I wouldn't have already played', he shrugs.')
And even with lookouts stations on the ship, the crew was forever
dodging raids by British mobsters looking to muscle in on the outlaw
enterprise.
He recently revisited those days, as the guest of honor at Radio
Caroline reunion, playing original Emperor Rosko tapes at a stadium
appearance broadcast live. The music he spun was once considered
cutting-edge, but is now considered Golden Oldies. But that's fine with
Emperor Rosko.

Ghostlytalk with Scott L & Doug
Ghsotlytalk is the worlds premier weekly talk show about the paranormal focusing on the scientific and logical study of paranormal activities , the show is hosted by :
Scott L. became interested in the paranormal as a
young child when he bought his first book 'Haunted Houses' by Larry Kettelkamp. Intrigued and
frightened by this book, Scott L. developed an adolescent interest in the paranormal that rooted
itself firmly into the boys mind through the present day:
Doug has been interested in paranormal topics since reading a book on witchcraft from his
school library. He has paranormal books since then, his favorite
subjects being out of body experiences, Edgar Cayce, ESP, prophesies,
and ghosts. While surfing the Internet in 2001, he was happy to learn
that other people actually went prowling about cemeteries and haunted
places looking for ghosts. Since then, he has been an avid ghost
hunter. Doug had previously broadcast with WTWR, school station for
University of Detroit. He received his Bachelor's degree in Management
Sciences and Information Systems from that University, as well. Upon
meeting Scott L on a ghost hunt, Doug suggested doing an Internet talk
show about ghost hunting. The premier of Ghostly Talk in February 2002 has gone from 1 listener
to (how many) regularly.
