MEVIO sources have received a copy of the audio of the 911 call from Jackon’s home and live streamed the conversation between the caller and the emergency services operator. In a calm voice, the person requested help as there was a person who wasn’t breathing and needed an ambulance immediately. Other details gleaned are that Jackson was unconscious in his bed, and his personal doctor was by his side, but the caller said “he’s not responding to anything.”

When the operator asks if there were any witnesses, the phone caller says that only the doctor was present with the victim.

Los Angeles police say they have towed the car of a doctor from Michael Jackson’s home because it could contain drugs or other evidence offering clues in the pop star’s death.

Los Angeles police spokeswoman Karen Rayner said coroner’s investigators want to interview the doctor but said she did not know the doctor’s identity. She stressed the doctor was not under criminal investigation.

“His car was impounded because it may contain medications or other evidence that may assist the coroner in determining the cause of death,” Rayner said.

Houston television station KHOU has identified Jackson’s personal doctor as Dr. Conrad Robert Murray, a cardiologist licensed to practice in Texas, who was living at the pop star’s mansion.

An autopsy has been performed by the Los Angeles County coroner, but it may be several weeks before all the results are in.

L.A. County Coroner Investigator Jerry McKibben said results of the autopsy would be announced if the cause of death can be determined, The Associated Press reports.

Sky Saxon

Sky Saxon, lead singer of the ’60s garage band the Seeds, died this morning in Austin, TX.

Sky’s wife Sabrina Saxon posted news of his passing on Facebook this morning: “Sky has passed over and YaHoWha is waiting for him at the gate. He will soon be home with his Father. I’m so sorry I couldn’t keep him here with us. More later. I’m sorry.”

Saxon fell ill last Thursday, but was not hospitalized Monday with what doctors suspected was an infection of the internal organs, but cause of death has not yet been released. His final performance was last Saturday at Antone’s (in Austin) with the band Shapes Have Fangs.

He will be missed.

Sky Saxon (real name Richard Marsh) founded the Seeds in 1965 with guitarist Jan Savage, keyboardist Daryl Hooper and drummer Rick Andridge. The bands’s first couple of singles ‘Can’t Seem To Make You Mine’ and ‘Pushin’ Too Hard’ were both large regional hits in the California area. Only the later reached national success when it landed at #39 on the Top 40 chart.
Saxon broke up the Seeds in 1970, when he join the Yahowha religious sect, inspired by their divine leader Father Yod. He released several albums as the Yahowha 13 in the mid 1970s. Members of the sect went their separate ways after Father Yod died in a hang gliding accident in 1974, although Saxon continued to collaborate with various members of the Yahowa.
The 1980′s saw him collaborate with several bands — including Redd Kross and The Chesterfield Kings — before reforming the original Seeds in 1989 to oldies package tour “The Summer of Love”. The remained active speraticly, but by 2003 Saxon was the only remaining original member in the band.
The Seeds were scheduled to play the “California ’66 Revue” tour with The Electric Prunes and Johnny Echols of Love in August.

Surf music is morning at the loss of one of its founders today. Bob Bogle the original lead guitarist for The Ventures died on Sunday (June 14th). Reports are that the 75 year old musician became ill over the weekend and was taken to the hospital where he later died. He suffered from Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma for the last few years.

The classic Ventures line-up Mel Taylor, Nokie Edwards, Don Wilson, Bob Bogle

Bogle and fellow guitarist Don Wilson formed The Ventures in 1958 after working together in the construction field in Tacoma, WA. Their early hits featured lead guitar work by Bogle, however after recruiting Nokie Edwards into the group in 1960, Bogle was moved to bass where he remained for the next 45 years. The band had a long string of hits including “Perfidia”, “Slaughter on Tenth Avenue”, “Hawaii Five-0″ and their biggest hit “Walk, Don’t Run” (peeked at #2 on Billboard Top Hits Chart). Between 1960 and 1970 the band released over 30 LPs of original recordings, 3 of which were certified as gold. Their music has been cited as an influence by many famed guitarists, in addition their experimentation with guitar effects, and unique sound laid the groundwork for innumerable groups, earning them the moniker “The Band that Launched a Thousand Bands.”
Due to his heath Bogle was too frail to play with the Ventures in his later years and left the band in 2005.
The Ventures were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in March 2008.
