I also was inspired by mods & rockers. I made mixed tape of the show, that I'll still pull out once a year to listen to. J.C.'s and ed's relaxed and unprofession was punk in the way it let the listeners know that anybody could do a radio show, it wasn't reserved for any professionals or elite. Just like the ramones and sex pistoles got other to start bands. I loved when the c.d.'s/records would skip, because JC was dancin round. I also broadcasted a radio show in London's CHRW for about 8 years, and put on a few concerts. It's great to come across this after so many years to see how impact the show had on people's lives. Who know how many others are out there. this highlights the power of community radio. I also was inspired by mods & rockers.

Great show, amazing exposure. 89.5 was such a great station back in 1996-1999. It was like a new world of music from Mods n Rockers on mondays to Renegade thursdays and Capital J with jungle drum n bass. all the best to anyone who's life was changed by that great music and radio station. Too bad when I was at U of T it kinda sucked I had the exact same experience and a few of you guys with Mods n Rockers.

I still have my Mods & Rockers tapes I used to record (although nothing to play them, lol). I was that Tom guy that would win tickets to shows pretty much every week... people musta hated me for it ;] As for JC, he was probably hands down the most important influence in my early teens. Lots of love and respect to him. Although I don't listen to much punk rock these days (but definitely still enjoy it every once in a while), I've really fallen in love with hip hop around the turn of the millennium (along with other diverse musical genres). For years I've wondered if there are people like JC, who still speak their mind and influence growing youth in a positive light... Now, just very recently I came upon this - http://www.illdoctrine.com/ - it's a video blog from Jay Smooth, a long-standing underground hip hop radio host in NYC, who's content, passion and convictions mirror quite closesly those of JC. So having remembered JC, I was really curious to find out what JC has been up to lately - and that is how I came upon this blog post here. Anyhoo, I know it seems like I'm just rambling... but really, my point is that, although the genre and generation are different, it makes me really happy to know that there are people out there in the various music communities who are willing to take on the difficult task of speaking up on issues surrounding the music and its culture - or any important issues affecting all of us - and really make an effort to have a positive influence on their listeners through the music they promote and the strong convictions they portray in their commentary. I hope to actually connect with JC, thank him for his influence for myself and others, and perhaps introduce him to Ill Doctrine and see whether he finds parallels between the two worlds (punk and hip hop). And for everyone else reading, do check it out - I'm certain that if you enjoyed JC's passionate rambling during the show, you would dig Ill Doctrine as well. Peace and all that jazz. PS. And shout outs to Sandy and Damian as well! Hey, you must be Ed Fox - I totally remember you!

Same thing for me, I used to listen to CIUT off and on, and one day i happened to bump into the mods and rockers show. That moment was pretty key in my life, because after that I got into so much music that I wouldn't have know about. And it also connected with what was going on in terms of live shows in the GTA. My first show I ever went to was a Propaghandi, Maryln's Vitamins show at the Elmo after hearing some trax on his show, followed soon after by a KingPins show. I've since broadened my tastes considerably but will always remember the good times I had listening to his show on Monday nights... I wonder what JC is up to now...

I remember when I was in highschool and I basically am in debted to the exposure that Mods and Rockers gave to me growing up. Exposure to the music soical politics and desire to instill change within my community. Also to read that there are other people out there who feel a strong connection to a very unique and well produced program is exciting. Keep doing what you're doing. Its amazing how art inspires art. Ciao Dave Wow this is awesome.
