I am so sad to hear of Kim’s passing after his long long battle with Cancer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Every couple of months he would call me,and we would talk for quite a while as Kim would.<\/span><\/p>\n

I really went to Van Nuys High School but my true rock education was the day\u00a0Steven Medina Hufsteter<\/a>\u00a0ran into Kim and started what was for us a break that would never had happened without him for my\u00a0first band\u00a0The Quick<\/a>. He did the hustle… There was no scene MAN! Kim created one, he had us playing hair salons, Jewish Temples, and pulled off a crazy one filling The Starwood with so many people that started something… it resulted in\u00a0landing us a record deal.<\/span><\/p>\n

We got to record at the Beach Boys studio Brother for a month with Earle Mankey He managed, co-produced us and took his eye off the ball…but he was epic. I told him many times what he meant to me. The last time we talked about 5 months ago, he asked what was going on, made notes primed his rolodex at the ready for his next call…He said we may never talk again;\u00a0I said don’t say that but I sort thought he was right.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He lent me his awesome box of 45’s after Kim Fowley day at Rhino and I recorded every one. He gave me the awesome acetate Jack In The Box by Swedish Pop Psych The Jackpots he knew I dug it.
\nEvery band he wanted to hype\u00a0–\u00a0He would say they are ABBA meet The Dell Vikings in a urine stained alley no urine and I guess it was missing an ingredient. There was pug this pug that and of course Golden Cock…that was Kim, NOBODY and I\u00a0mean NOBODY is like him. I feel honored to have known him.I send my condolences to\u00a0Kara Wright <\/a>–\u00a0my words do not tell the story he was the story!<\/p>\n
