Description:
Hollywood Studio Magazine was published out of the San Fernando Valley in various iterations (and various titles) from 1966 until 1992. What started as a local organ aimed at the workers of Hollywood ended as a nostalgic fan magazine about Hollywood Then and Now. The various title changes and revisions to its mission reflect not just the economic realities of magazine publishing, but a changing relationship to Hollywood and the industry itself. The earliest issues of Studio Magazine read like a house organ of a steady, entrenched industry documenting the comings and goings and notable events of the San Fernando Valley, with special emphasis on Universal. Fandom first became part of the discourse of the magazine through collecting. The Collectors’ Column page beginning in the early 1970s allowed memorabilia collectors to advertise their wares to each other. In 1983, the founder of the magazine, Dorothy Denny gave over the reins to Ralph Benner, the founder of Tiger Beat. This marks the clear separation between the original publication and its focus on Hollywood production culture and the move toward a publication centered on star narratives and fan culture. In covering the two and a half decades from the collapse of the system to the point where classical movie stars were phantoms instead of living people, the magazine offers insight into the transformation of old Hollywood from a lived reality to a memory to a myth.

Q. Can you play any other instrument? E.J. "I once played an organ for a soul group but I was really bad. I can only play the piano.” (Note: Elton John first started playing classical piano when he was five years old.) Q. Is there any particular mood that influences your writing, Bernie? B.T. "The thing with our songs is they go through different periods of feeling. A lot of songs can have a very sad feeling and a lot of songs can be very happy. The album that is out now (Elton John) has a sad feeling to it, kind of desperate situations. The album coming out (Tumbleweed Connection) has a much more happy, down home feeling. It's just the way we go around writing songs. Some of them can be up, and some can be down.” E.J. "What we're trying to strive for is Q. simplicity in lyrics and simplicity in E.J. songs. Just get it as simple as possible." Q. What do you think of the Beatles as Q. an influence? E.J. "The Beatles had a fantastic influence on everyone's life. George E.J. (left to right) Bernie Taupin (lyricist), Elton John (vocals and piano). Dee Murray (base), and Nigel Olsson (drums) Harrison has emerged as probably a better song writer than Lennon and McCartney." Have you always wanted to sing? "Yes, but nobody would let me. If you sing your own songs, it gives you a real satisfying feeling." Is there anything else you would have liked to have done with your life? "I would like to have been a "Everybody Loves so... Say I Love Somebody" ’ You from WE DELIVER 985-4990 NIGHT 764 - 8452 D D - M A R ’ STUDIO FLOWERS 1 1636 VENTURA BLVD. STUDIO CITY Complete FLORAL needs 'year round professional footballer but I was too fat." Wliat’i Ma tap penincj,: The rumored title for Leon Russell's new album is "Accident." He will be touring England in the early part of February. Q. What are the future aspirations of the group? Dee "I'm just going to buy a Corvette and a recording studio. I've got an album planned when I go home that I hope to start recording if I have time." Nigel "I just finished a new album on UNI. I sing and do everything on it. I would like to produce eventually." E.J. "I really think the band has to be as important as me. It's nice they have a future and not just Elton John and two backing guys." Joe Cocker is in London taking a rest after working on a new album with Chris Stainton in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. So far, all the songs on the album are his own compositions. Steppenwolf are in the studios working on their new album. In between cuts, the boys are busy working numerous L.A. and San Francisco gigs. The Doors are dormant . . . Their last album release was "13", not such a lucky number. Dave Mason, who has the most colorful album in town, just paired up with Mama Cass for a new album titled "Mason-Cass." They are appearing in Turn to 30
