Pete Fornatale's son, Peter Thomas, his wife Susan, and their daughter Perrin Tamar Fornatale, visited WFUV this week. Peter Thomas and I talked about his dad's last book project, "50 Licks: Myths and Stories from Half a Century of the Rolling Stones." And, Tamar made her radio debut on her grandfather's program. I guess all of life is a circle.
Hope you enjoy the interview. I know you'll enjoy the book.

The Rolling Stones performed "Let's Spend the Night Together" on The Ed Sullivan Show on this date in 1967. However, they were forced to change the lyrics to, "let's spend some time together." Censorship of pop and rock has a long history and continues today with the jailing of Pussy Riot in Russia. Can you think of other instances? Leave your suggestion in the comments below or send it to morning@wfuv.org.
Here's what we played:
Link Wray "Rumble"
Billie Holiday "Love for Sale"
