Little Alvin in Wonderland
When I was 12 years old I would listen to the radio to hear Barry Gray, Long John Nebil, The Shadow and Captain Midnight. They delighted me as a young boy growing up in Williamsburg. Before the world of cable TV, my fantasies were limited to the grandiosity of being a superhero. Having a dumb father, a delusional mother and a brother who was psychotic meant my choices were limited. In today’s world we have 150 stations, high definition, DVD’s and the Internet which has destroyed the printed word. Back then, I was a fat Jewish kid who jerked off daily just to make sure his pipes were working and dreamed about the world that existed over the Williamsburg Bridge. My dreams were many but the practicality of my execution was like Hitler putting Jews into Auschwitz. I was an outlaw who listened to the music of Elvis Presley and the disc jockey Moon Dog. I lived in a world where woman would break your heart and Pat Boone was king. Rather than the cynical Rabelaisian music of today my fantasies included Henry Miller, Frank Harris, Chaucer and James Joyce. That world also included the romance of Rock Hudson and Doris Day. The reason I became the pornographer I did was to compensate for the lies I grew up with.

Yea, that's kind of how I feel growing up watching all those Sid and Marty Krofft productions.
Hey Sid and Marty Krofft never mailed out Captain Midnight secret decoder rings to help in the fight against evil.
Here is a web site that will help you relive those Radio Days:

But only if you want too.
Al,
You and I have more in common that I thought. We both have dumb and delusional parents and a psycho brother. I also jerk off daily, usually multiple times to thoughts of men but this does not mean I am gay.

The lies told by the media say that love belongs to the looker and the go-getter when it is really SEX that belongs to them. Hence your porn career.
In truth actual LOVE belongs to the lucky and the strong regardless of social flaws.
There were two 1970s songs about it. At 17 By Janis Ian and The Rose by Bette Midler.
I miss the 70s. It represented the zenith of this country from porn to politics. Now we are 50 to 75 years away from the fall of Western Rome.
So live in the past all you want, Al. We'll all jump in a time machine with you and rewind our lifetimes like in that movie Groundhog Day---only before 9/11.

Al,
I love ya and hope you are doing well. I have been a fan of yours since I was 13 years old. I got to met you at the screening of Porn King You signed my copy of "The Oral History of Porn").
I host a public access show in Manhattan and recently did an interview with James Guardino talking about the making of the film. I hope to finish editing it soon and plan on uploading a copy onto You Tube for you to view.
Heck, did you ever consider returning to TV(Public Access) or hosting a podcast?
Al,
Have you ever considered creating a pornographic theme park called "Goldsteinland"? Just an idea.....
Sid and Marty Kroft poser,
Radio was Disneyland before Walt Disney. It was a fantasy world that helped stimulate a young kid’s imagination. I listened to Let’s Pretend, The Shadow and my favorite was Captain Midnight where I would send away for his premiums like a decoder ring. I hadn’t discovered my cock yet so masturbation was unexplored territory (flesh). I liked the debates on the Long John Nebell show. The true spur to my intellect was listening to Barry Grey who was one WMCA. Barry did Walter Winchell, the Republicans and in fact was beaten up by right-wingers. AG
Sid and Marty commenter #2,
So what?

David Sacks,
Moron, Ive had the same cell phone for two years. In your old age what is left of your brain is rotting. email me at alvingoldstein@gmail.com. Your sons are changing their name to Menendez and are planning to blow a hole in your belly and your wife is the best cock-sucker I have ever known.
AG
PS – My son and I are talking again
Slack Jaw,
Love belongs to the self-bullshitter, the misogynist and the fantasy lover. Whether its love, books or the lotto – it’s all about wishful fulfillment and self-deception.
AG
PS – there are actually some people who believe that they won’t die.
dear oral history,
Thank you for your compliments. I am deserving of your hero worship and the love and envy of my past from one and all.
AG
Goldsteinland,
The only thing I have considered is leaving a puddle of my sperm after I whack off. Those are my ambition, that is my aim and that is how my life will wind down.
