## At the get-together of the AGC developers celebrating the 40th anniversary | |
## of the first moonwalk, Don Eyles (one of the authors of this routine along | |
## with Peter Adler) has related to us a little interesting history behind the | |
## naming of the routine. | |
## | |
## It traces back to 1965 and the Los Angeles riots, and was inspired | |
## by disc jockey extraordinaire and radio station owner Magnificent Montague. | |
## Magnificent Montague used the phrase "Burn, baby! BURN!" when spinning the | |
## hottest new records. Magnificent Montague was the charismatic voice of | |
## soul music in Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles from the mid-1950s to | |
## the mid-1960s. |
