Summer of Zits - WABC 77 New York - December 28 1968 - Don't Be a Pizza Face
At the end of a year of riots and assassinations (1968) most teens were still obsessed with Facial Blemishes -- Acne Pimples, blackheads, and oily skin. Its part of the raging hormones of growing up. You can't "go steady" if you have a "Pizza face".
"Skin care products" were a frequent sponsor of teen oriented top 40 rock stations. WABC afternoon DJ Dan Ingram often introduced ads for Tackle Medicated Clear Gel with the advice:
"Don't let an ugly pimple ruin your date ... or your fig or your prune".
"A prune is not a vegetable."
-- Frank Zappa "Call Any Vegetable"
(never played on top 40 AM radio)
