In late January 1979, Mike Saunders, Turner and Homer wrote an infamous song about longtime LA/Hollywood scenemaker and KROQ-FM DJ Rodney Bingenheimer , titled “Get Off the Air”. When the song was included on the band’s first record, Inside My Brain , the Samoans were blacklisted at the Starwood , the Whisky a Go Go , and other clubs in the Hollywood/LA area from mid-1980 through late 1982, seemingly due to Bingenheimer’s strong influence within the LA/Hollywood club scene.
