Text written by Arnaldo Baptista, bass player with Os Mutantes, in 1972, already showed his mental health wasn't really good. He ended up being committed to mental hospitals and finally jumped off the 3rd floor to an almost certain death... He actually didn't die but was left crippled...

 Torquato Neto (1944-1972) Tropicalia's song-writer dies. November 1972.

the photos on this page were posted on João Antonio Buher Facebook page. He graciously consentend on their being used by me. Buher says he was given a whole bunch of Brazilian Rolling Stone magazines by a Facebook friend called Zé Ramos... so I'd like to thank both J.A.Buher and Zé Ramos for the deed.

As we have mentioned at Ezequiel Neves post, Rolling Stone magazine rights were bought by someone or other who intended to publish it in Brazil. Journalists Luiz Carlos Maciel (*15 March 1938, in Porto Alegre-RS + 9 December 2017) and Ezequiel Neves (* 20 November 1935, in Belo Horizonte-MG  + 7 July 2010) were the chief editors... but money was really short so the magazine didn't have a long life. It was composed and printed in Rio de Janeiro in 1972.

Rio de Janeiro's wayward D.J. Big Boy née Newton Duarte changed the way radio was done in Brazil with a new way of unconventionally introducing records to a young audience. He started at Radio Tamoyo where in mid-1967 he played most of the tracks of The Beatles' 'Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' and made radio history. He then moved on to Radio Mundial, travelled to England, tried to interview members of the Beatles unsuccessfully until while biding his time at the Apple Store he bumped into Paul McCartney & Linda Eastman who talked to him and entered his name in a list of radio people who would receive their latest releases on a first-hand basis. Big Boy was born on 1st June 1943 in Rio; he died on 7 March 1977, in his 33rd year. 

Big Boy hard at work on Radio Mundial. He worked much harder than it was good for his health; he suffered from asthma and died at 33...
