J-Men Forever (1979)
Rock and Roll Radio; how it really happened!
It was back in my college years, back in the magic days of cable television.
Home after another Friday night of holding up the bar, I came home looking forward to USA Network's "Night Flight", counter culture at its best. In my 3rd year as a Communication Arts Major, I was chasing that,until then, elusive career in radio. I saw the previews for J-Men 4 Ever, and decided to stay tuned in. What happened to me was an education about the origins of Rock and Roll, and radio on this planet! I learned how The Lightning Bug, the Boss Jock of the Moon, came to Earth to conquer the square-nut blue-nose culture that had us in its grip. He went head to head with the J-Men, using the Sugared Airwave Command to fight back with schmaltz-ey music. All this done by redubbing the 1930's B&W serial films to tell the story. Of course the Lightning Bug is the master of disguise; all the cheesy villains of these movies were in disguise. Tons of 1 liners; you've probably heard some stolen and used in Rock Radio promos.
