Australian producer director Peter Clifton ends Now Time with a reflective final programme. The disc jockey BAC-1’s Emperor Rosko provides a memorable segment whose improvisational chatter evolves into a distinctive pop poetry piece despite criticism.
The piece argues that DJs shape modern music as integral voices alongside musicians. It contrasts skilled, trendsetting hosts like Rosko with a lazy, self serving “pseudo hip” DJ who ignores value in pop trash, reviews Jefferson Airplane, the Grateful Dead, and the era’s acid rock labels, and reflects on how disc jockeys influence taste and chart direction.
A reflectiveера passage critiques rock culture and its icons. It contrasts traditional charts with evolving sounds and mentions Jimi Hendrix, the Grateful Dead, and Mama Cass as symbols of avant garde influence shaping music’s future.
