In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

Desert rock trio Stöner will release their new live album, Hittin’ the Bitchin’ Switch, on Oct. 11 through Heavy Psych Sounds. The power-grooving scientific team who once proposed the Theory of Radness Stability — for the math on that, see “Rad Stays Rad,” from their first release, Live in the Mojave Desert (review here) and its studio follow-up, Stoners Rule (review here); it’s also here — were on tour in Italy, having just played Freak Out Festival in Bologna and on their way to Switzerland for the fast-becoming-legendary Palp Festival in the Alps and SonicBlast in Portugal, when this Aug. 8, 2022, recording was made at the Go Down Records-managed Altroquando, in Treviso. Just another gig, just another night of Brant Bjork, Nick Oliveri and Ryan Güt laying it down. A club show. I doubt they knew before they got to the venue it was being taped, if they knew at all.
