Abstract

Around the U.S.A. Flying Disk Jockeys: An Imaginary War
Bongartz, Roy | March 24, 1956 issue

add to cart   close window

Plans for dumping tons of watermelons from airplanes on Chicago radio transmitters were announced in Oxford, Mississippi, by the Mississippi Disk Jockey League, in retaliation for the increasingly outrageous anti-White propaganda of Radio Free Mississippi, a non-profit Chicago station supported by private donations, long known to be a thorn in the side of Mississippi broadcasters. It will be recalled that the present undeclared war between the Mississippi and Chicago disk jockeys was touched off in 1955 when a Chicago jockey, Al Benson dropped copies of the U.S. Constitution on Mississippi.
