Original full page newspaper concert article for Elliot Mintz on KLOS radio circa 1971. 12 x 18. Original ad, not a photocopy or reproduction.
Elliot Mintz is a press representative whose clients include Bob Dylan, Don Johnson, Christie Brinkley and Paris Hilton. His career in show business began in the late 1960s, when he worked in Pasadena, California for station KPPC. He worked among such radio icons as Firesign Theatre and Dr. Demento, but his most famous encounter was his 1971 meeting with John Lennon and Yoko Ono, who invited Mintz into their exclusive inner circle.
After KPPC folded, Mintz went on to appear in other LA media, most notably as a late-night talk jock on KABC Talk Radio 79. Mintz had been dismissed from one radio job after playing the Lennons controversial 1972 double album Some Time in New York City commercial free in its entirety. Mintz accompanied Lennon on much of his "Lost Weekend" separation from Ono in the mid-'70s, and joined the couple son Sean during their vacation in Japan. He was one of the first friends to make it to the The Dakota on December 9, 1980, hours after John Lennon was ambushed and murdered by a deranged fan the previous evening.
