LOS ANGELES - You've heard of the Grammys. How about the Gummys?
The Bubblegum Achievement Awards will be held October seventh in Los
Angeles, honoring the best in bubblegum music.
The honorees include Dr. Demento, Ron Dante of The Archies, Joey Levine
of the Ohio Express and Steve Barri, who produced the all-chimp band
Lancelot Link and the Evolution Revolution.
Dante says bubblegum music was not meant to be taken seriously. He says
it was aimed at the pre-teen crowd and he had no intentions of competing
with Led Zeppelin or the Rolling Stones. Dante says he's honored to get
a Gummy, but he's still pushing for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to
honor bubblegum music.
