WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THE POP CULTURE ADDICT!

"I wish you the best in your career.  You are very smart in the way you ask your questions." - Henry Winkler, who  brought legendary pop culture icon the Fonz to life.

"I only did [the interview] because I've been around you the last few days and I knew you'd do the right thing."  - Actor George Lazenby, who took the role of James Bond in On Her Majesty's Secret Service .

"Dear Sam.  Thank you for the VERY flattering open letter.  It made me blush!  I would love to send you a copy of my book (for fun summer reading) if you'll send me a snail mail address.  Enjoy what is left of summer. Best, Yvonne" - Yvonne Craig, television's Batgirl, Star Trek's "greened skinned woman" and former Elvis Presley co-star.  She did send the book too.

"Sam!  Yours is one of the kindest and dearest interviews ever!!!  You listened...You are very special, and I hope to see you again soon.  You too, are special to me! Lana"  - Actress Lana Wood, who is probably best known for playing Bond girl Plenty O'Toole in Diamonds Are Forever, as well as being Hollywood legend Natalie Wood's younger sister.

"Aloha Sam!  Thank you for all your kind words about me. It’s phenomenal how pervasive flower power is today. Some energy that was born then does not want to let go and so it keeps touching the hearts of my children’s generation and it’s not over yet. I think a new courage was born then. Certainly I am a freedom fighter so the message of maintaining an awareness to always be creative and love one another is forever running through my veins. May I just say I have the good fortune to be writing to you while the sun is coming up over Diamondhead where I live with my Husband and shedding a gorgeous cast of pink wispy clouds in the Hawaiian skies. Donna Loren"  - Donna Loren,  1960's Dr. Pepper spokes model, entertainer and survivor of the Annette and Frankie Beach movies

"Sam:  I LOVE IT!   You did a wonderful job. I am so proud of it and I am sure you are too. The photos are a very nice touch and so are the YOUTUBE mentions. We did great didn't we?!!  Thanks again for wanting to interview me. I had such a fun time doing it and talking with you.  Friends forever,  ~Geri~  - Geri "Fake Jan" Reischl, Eve Plumb's replacement on Sid and Marty Kroft's Brady Bunch Variety Hour in response to our 2006 interview.  Geri has kept her word as well and has been in regular touch making her not just a pop culture icon, but also a good friend to us.

"Sam, I finally had a chance to sit down and read the whole interview. Fantastic! If you were in front of me right now, you'd see me bowing with hands over my head. You did a fine job of putting all of it together, I appreciate all your hard work. I especially like the way you closed it out, very nice.   Well done my friend, lets talk when you have time.  Carl"  - 60's pop sensations The Buckinghams guitarist and current lead singer' Carl Giammarese on our 2009 interview.

 

"Sam! Wow, thank you so much for the comics! I just got them a couple days ago and they are STILL providing fresh reading material for me. Thank you for taking the time to package them, they will fit so perfectly into my collection. You are a wonderful person, and i loved the interview. And I love our pictures. Hope we meet again!! Lights" - Canadian pop singer Lights in response to our 2008 interview, as well as the collection of Wonder Woman comics I sent her.

"I couldn't believe you actually said that (the Delights) actually stylized ourselves after the Zombies.  I mean how the hell did you figure that one out?..... That is incredible when you hear this. I mean how the hell did he figure this out?  What a detective!...That was incredible!  Y'know.  To have somebody contact me on that premise it was like...WHAT!" - Norbert Solystiak, saxophonist for 1960's Chicago band "The Delights" and Chet "Chubby" Morton on Filmation's 1960's "Hardy Boys" television series/pop group.

"Hey Sam. I liked the interview.  Hope ur on to another mystery if that makes it better Stay safe...Jeff" - Jeff Taylor, singer for Motown's first white band "The Messangers" and Joe Hardy on Filmations 1960's "Hardy Boys" television series/pop group. 

"I am more disturbed by you than I am Barry." - Herman's Hermits' front man Peter "Herman" Noone in response to my interview with Hermits drummer Barry Whitwam.  He didn't like the interview.  Well, you can't please all the people all the time. 

"You are the arrogant, pompous asshole, who thinks he has the qualifications to critique any one.  What are your credentials?  Smoking drugs I guess?  Believing your own bullshit on a one way conversations with yourself...Wake up you piece of shit!  Get with the program and get real.  Your not fooling anyone..."THE JIG UP"...Please don't hide my name, because the articles are right and you are WRONG.  It's Robert Hubbard" - Robert Hubbard, manager of 1960's Canadian  music "legend" and teen sensation Bobby Curtola reacting to my critique of Mr. Curtola's music.  What can I say?  Not everybody likes the Pop Culture Addict.
