HOTEL BOHEMIA PRESENTS "PUT ON A STACK OF 45's" - JOEY HEATHERTON - "GONE" - Featuring The Splendid Bohemians, Rich Buckland and Bill Mesnik - PASSION REVEALED!

“GONE” - JOEY HEATHERTON (MGM, 1972)
It all started with a friendly competition. We had just done an episode about my early crush Bobby Gentry and her iconic “Ode to Billy Joe”. Rich does a counterpunch here with a tribute to his own teen heartthrob, the pulchritudinous Joey Heatherton, daughter of Ray “The Merry Mailman” - a host of one of our after-school staples of kid’s programming.
When Rich is passionate about something I just have to stand back and let him rhapsodize, and here his eloquence is in top form. Later, as the story turns to a darker hue, he reveals that he actually had met his teen idol - his once forbidden love (because of her support for the Viet Nam war, which he opposed) - that had now come full circle, and could be expressed openly.
