Steven "Pop" Popowski was born in Dayton, Ohio in 1945. The son of a bricklayer, he knew at a young age he wanted more than the lifestyle his father had set before him.
The first of the historic meetings took place in 1963, where he met Sanduvall "Snap" Starkey at "The Melody Music Shop" in Dayton. 
Pop: I cheated for the piece (guitar). After my turn, I tweaked one of the keys so it'd be just enough out of tune to sound bad. You know (Laughing) I think Snap is still mad at me for that. Heck he might trade it all today to have won that contest back then. Anyway, people in the store said we sounded righteous so we started jamming in our garages after that Later in the summer of '63, Snap's cousin Ralph Starkey who was already an accomplished drummer joined Snap and Pop to form the 'Elftones'. Snap took over the bass and vocals, while Pop likewise did vocals and guitar. 
Snap: That's where the whole "Elf" image started, with the Elftones. It worked, so when Ralph left the group, we kept the costumes.Ralph left the group in '64 to work with "Henson", a group consisting of Kermit, Fozzy and Gonzo. He would later be ejected from this group, to be replaced by Animal on the drums. Ralph eventually settled into a role as an elf pitchman for Keebler Snacks. Bitter about his decision to leave the group before it reached its potential, Ralph declined to be interviewed for this episode.Pop: Man we were <expletive>'d when Ralph left, or so I'd thought. We needed a drummer and like quick. We had a deal with Decca Records for 3 recording sessions but we had no drummer! Some google-eyed dude approached us, but he looked too weird and we passed.The "google-eyed dude" turned out to be Mick Fleetwood, who'd later become a serious threat to the group's popularity in the '70's with his own band, Fleetwood Mac. In desperation, they turned to the staff of Decca for help. Fortunately, they'd recently signed Liverpool native John Crackle as a studio musician. Snap: We lucked out when Crackle came aboard. He was already doing session stuff with Decca and we just clicked. Besides, Ralph's costume looked great on him. (Laughs)
Crackle: Those guys were hot. I just knew it would be bloody big and I had to get aboard, man. We cut the demo for Decca, a cover of the Isley Brothers "Krisp and Shout". Decca went nuts for it and signed us right there. We owed it all to that song, so the "Krispies" were born.In 1965, their first album "Milk!" took America by storm and the 'Krispie Invasion' was born. Pop and Snap were proving themselves to be phenomenal songwriters as well as gifted musicians. A movie deal was signed soon after, to capitalize on the success of 'Milk!' Crackle: The kids couldn't get enough of us yanno? We'd play live and man, there'd be all these women taking off their spoons and throwing them onstage, right in front of their boyfriends. It was wild!
A stream of hits soon followed. The single "Looking Out My Back S'More" went number one after a week and stayed there for 12 more. The album "Name, Rank and Cereal Number" went gold and later set the standard of the "platinum" status when sales went through the roof with no signs of stopping.Pop: Yeah we got nailed on the royalties those first years, we just didn't know about that stuff. Warner and (Hanna) Barbera really had us by the short grains. We were kids and it wasn't about the money anyway, man. It was about the music. We found out the hard way what all that meant.Crackle: We were jet-settin' around, thinking all this playdough rolling in was going to last forever. Royalties we asked? What the bloody <expletive> is that? We had no clue. None, man. Our agents were just out for themselves anyway. Snap: I'd say we learned a lesson. Most of us from that period survived, we were young enough to recoup. It's guys like Mighty Mouse you feel bad for. I mean that guy has been slaving away since the 50's and for what? Crackle: Dude can't even buy cheese! Snap: yeah, and you can?Crackle: ::Pause::: Well, no. But my 5 ex-wives sure can. Snap: 6 ex-wives, you mean. You keep forgetting Smurfette.Crackle: I'm trying to! She got that re-training order against me. I'm not supposed to see all her feet.Pop: No, man... she told you to stay 500 feet away and it's a restraining order.Crackle: What-the-bugger-ever... Woman that has that many feet I shoulda known was trouble. Snap: Anyway, :::ignoring Crackle::: last I heard he (M. Mouse) was working the carny circuit as a strongman with Heckle and Jeckle.By 1967, the Summer of Love was in full swing and the Krispies were in the heat of it. Songs such as "Kripin' About My Generation", "A Hard Grain's Gonna Fall" and "Soft Cereal Blues" almost became theme songs for the times. Pop: Raisinstock in '69, man. *That* was beautiful. 500,000 people listening to us jam onstage with monsters like Cap'n Crunch and Hendrix. It almost bankrupted Big Tony (Tiger) though. He'd financed the gig, thinking at most, he might fit like 5,000 on that farm. It was a money disaster, but geeze... who the <expletive> cared?? (Laughs) I do wish I could remember more about it sometimes, but we were all pretty crunched out. Snap: It wasn't long after Raisinstock was when we got into trouble. You know we'd been touring hard and pumping out albums for almost 5 years at that point. We were burning out and fell victim to the easy access of excess.Pop: I think if it wasn't for Daphne, I'd be up a creek right now.(He points to a picture on the wall of Daphne Blake and he outside a country bed and breakfast. The Mystery Machine is visible in the background)
Pop: We met at a Barbera party, over at Capt. Caveman's place in early '66. He used to throw these mind-blowing parties in the Hollywood Hills. Everybody would be there. Nicholson, Seger, Toucan Sam, just everybody in show business.
Daphne: I didn't even want to go to that party, I hated the Hollywood types that went to them but Cy (Specter), my agent convinced me to go. You see the executives at NBC wanted Freddie, Velma and me to be really visible at the time. We'd recently gotten some bad press over Shaggy being arrested while coming over the border with several kilos of high-grade Scooby Snacks. The publicity was killing us and it could've meant the show, so I went. In retrospect I can't tell you how glad I am that I did.Pop: Daph has always been hot, but that night it was like the angels dressed her for dinner you know? She was really something. Long legs for days, man. She was really straight and proper. Thankfully I was too or we'd never have hooked up.
Cy Specter: Criminey it was horrid. I mean we'd had all that bad press with Shaggy, right and just when it looked like we could recover, Daphne up and starts playin' hob wit' the whole thing. The execs at NBC were <expletive>-ing moonpies. Luckily the fans considered Pop the "Cute Krispie" so it actually turned into a buggerin' bonanza for us. The press just ate the whole thing up, you know, "America's Princess and the Guitar King".Pop: We dated for almost 2 years, but the business got in the way. That season, her show was traveling busting the swamp monster and of course I was on tour myself with the boys. It killed me but we had to say goodbye. I have to admit, although I wasn't into anything else then, I did turn to Kool-Aid some. Daphne: It was so hard, what with all the publicity but I really did enjoy the industry then. I never got over Pop though. The band, which dominated the mid 60's and that whole generation was rapidly falling into disarray. The hits of such songs as "All Along The Treat Tower" and "Sgt Krispies Lonely Rice Club Band" had made them stars, but the living up to legendary status was taking its toll by the end of the decade. Although "Sgt Krispie" was rock solid on the Billboard charts, music was evolving into a mix of hard guitar and folk sounds.
It all came to a head in early 1971 when Pop, Herbie and Wile E. Coyote were in an automobile crash on a lonely California highway.
Pop: We were coming down from Vegas, we'd just finished the last gig of the "Tequila Sunrice" tour and we decided to let Herbie the Lovebug drive us. I mean, the dude was his own ride anyway. Snap and Crackle were in the tour bus, but I wanted to ride free. So we're all (Herbie and Wile E.) packed in tight and cruising through Needles, and who pulls up along side us? That <expletive> Speed Racer. Geeze I hated that guy and his wise <expletive> monkey. Racer had a serious attitude problem, let me be the one to tell you. Well he starts giving Herbie the business about being all washed up and Herbie comes back with how ole Tom Slick whooped Racer's <expletive> last Daytona. That was it man. Next thing we know, we're flying down the highway. Now Herbie was a righteous driver back then, but that night he was cranked up on grape Hi-C. Anyway, Racer got too close, Herbie panicked and that was that. Racer never even stopped. I was told later, his <expletive> monkey was looking back in terror when he saw how bad it was and started slapping Racer's shoulder, screaming "Go Speed Racer! Go Speed Racer!" When the ambulance came, Herbie had suffered a major concussion to his head gasket and looked like he might lose his sight in one headlight. There was coolant everywhere on the road. Pop had suffered 2 hairline fractures of the vertebrae in his back, while Wile E. Coyote had multiple lacerations in his face.
Pop: That's why Wile E.'s nose looks like it does; the docs couldn't do anything about it. Last I heard he was working for Anthony "Big Tony" Tiger doing collections. That's why he chases the Road Runner you know. It's not that the old Wile Man's hungry, it's that the Runner has it bad for the ponies and doesn't like to pay up. Collections man. Very bad news.The C.H.P. later said Herbie's fruit punch level was .20, over twice the legal limit in 1971, so no charges were filed against Speed Racer.Crackle: That was solid bunk, dude. I saw the whole thing from the bus; Racer was just itching to cause damage. Well he got it. But if I ever see him or that <expletive> monkey I'll show 'im a drum solo on 'is head he won't soon forget!The doctors had missed the hairline fractures in Pop's back. He went for more than a year before the problem was correctly diagnosed, but by that time he was hooked on prescription Cocoa Pebbles for the pain.Pop: I was in sorry shape. The pain in my back from the accident just kept getting more intense and to make matters worse, we'd started a new tour and were pulling like 270 or more gigs a year. I just kept popping more and more Lucky Charms Marshmallows to keep up. I looked like <expletive> and felt worse. Crackle: It was in '73 when that <expletive> Hong Kong Phooey turned us onto puffed rice.Pop: Most people outside the industry never knew it, but the Phoo had his own rice lab right in his basement! Sugar Bear helped him set it up. He had other things too, like you'd open his fridge and the dude was growing his own OtterPops right there, man!! Can you believe that?? (Laughing hysterically) How that guy never got caught, I'll never know.Crackle: I'd met the Phoo when we were all doing the Sullivan Show back in '68. He was really into our band, so I introduced him and he stayed tight wi' us for years. I'll admit, it turned out to be the biggest bloody mistake of my life man, 'cause in the end it could've cost us everythin'.Pop: Bitter? About Phooey? Nah. Besides, we were kids, yanno? He never would have turned any of us onto that stuff if he had known how dangerous it was. I mean at the time, he was just experimenting with it himself. Lemonheads, Cookie Crisps, that kind of thing back then and it was all pretty tame. Anyway we made our choices to do this or that and we were wrong, man. Solid wrong. You can't blame others for mistakes you make. I've tried telling that to Crackle, but he won't listen. He and the Phoo still are on bad terms.Crackle: The man (Phooey) is just a pile of <expletive> <expletive> <expletive>! I hope he goes mushy one day.Pop: The seventies were just a bad time yanno? I mean everybody was into everything and I was one of the worst at first because of my back, but later just because. By '74 I'd need a couple of Frosted Flakes to wake up and like 3 or 4 Cocoa Pebbles just to get to sleep at night. I'd be downing purple Flintstones with Kool-Aid chasers throughout the day. I'm here to tell you man, someone or something was looking out for me. No way I'd have made it through that otherwise. Snap: I could see what the stuff was doing to Pop, although I didn't know why at the time that he was doing it. You see, my old man had a problem with Sunny Delight for years, so I knew to stay away from it. Anyway, we'd tell Pop you look tired, man. Then he'd go to a Doctor and the guy would get prescribed Cocoa Pebbles to wake him up. Now he needs sleep, 'cause he's too awake. The Docs look at him and say, "no problem kid, you need Mini Wheats, it'll help you sleep." It was a vicious circle.The end of 1974 marked a radical change in American and world culture. Muhammad Ali regained the world title from a seemingly unbeatable George Foreman. Richard Nixon resigned from presidential office and Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth's homerun record. It also marked a corner of change for the Krispies.Pop: When I ran into Daph again, it was about the end of '74, when we were on tour with Black Sabbath and the Chipmunks. Good golly could those Chipmunk dudes party. Most of that whole tour is a blur. I do remember Ozzy (Osbourne) not sticking around much on his own time. The Chipmunks were going at it pretty hard backstage every night and they'd be calling Ozzy a big chicken <expletive> when he high tailed it out of there after his sets. I mean it was that bad. Everywhere you looked bowls of Pop Rocks and tabs of Bottle Caps. 
Ozzy Osbourne: We'd put together this huge mega tour with the Chipmunks and the Krispies. Man that tour was awful and it was all due to those munk-people. Alvin in particular. Most guys who're into stuff go with one kind and stick to it, right? Not Alvin. Pop Rocks with Raisinettes were not uncommon with that guy. I saw him once do 3 Little Debbie Cakes and then pop a handful of Fruity Pebbles. Freaking wild man! When I came off that tour, I was a wreck for months afterwards. Pop: It was really Daphne who set me straight. She was backstage visiting her old friend Freddie Flute, from the Puffinstuff show. Freddie was on hiatus and was jobbing as one of the opening acts for the show, along with the Groovey Ghoulies. Daphne: I was visiting Freddie (Flute) when I saw Pop. On stage, he was on fire with that guitar and I just swooned all over again. Snap: Daphne was the best thing that could've happened to Pop, then or ever. They got back together after that one night and haven't parted since. Pop: I couldn't hide what was going on from Daph. Once she found out, she threatened to leave me if I didn't get help. The label execs were all scared of me going into the Betty Boop clinic. They were afraid it'd put my career in the can and make them look bad, but that's just how they are. Her agents were scared of the press this might give to the show. Turns out it wouldn't be long before it didn't matter anyway.In 1975 Scooby and Shaggy pushed for big salary increases or they'd walk out. NBC Studio executives considered the duo the entire show, so the producers gave in and Freddie and Daphne were just written out and replaced with Scooby's nephew Scrappy to save on salary costs.Pop: Daph kind of retired then. I mean there were offers, sure, she was still hot in the business but she turned 'em all down. Even years later, like in '81 the guys at NBC were dying to have her be cast as "Blair" on the new Facts of Life show, but Daph had had enough. She stayed with me all throughout my rehab and I know it was hard on her. Somethings in life you just can't repay and I'll be the first to tell you, I'm a lucky guy.Daphne: I really think it was a blessing, (being released) to be honest. I was tired after almost 10 years, keep in mind we did 22 episodes per season back then. Nearly twice what they're doing now. We (Freddie) were cut and I called it a career. I'd done what I'd wanted to do in Hollywood and there wasn't really anything left that interested me. Freddie retired too after a run as the grown up Bam Bam on the new Flintstones show. A couple of seasons later, Velma had been let go too. We stayed in almost constant contact while she set up her gay rights organizations. That's kept her pretty busy, but I've even managed to talk Pop into doing some benefits for them. Crackle: This business can claim alot ya know? You can be flamin' hot one minute and then bupkiss the next. It's like a living thing that feeds off you, man. Take Speedy Gonzales. The guy has this iron clad contract wi' Warner Brothers, right? Wrong. Ratings hit the dumpster and now Speedy's doing Telemundo with Erik Estrada. Foghorn. You think those "I say, I say's" were scripted? No way, man. They had to go live, 'cause of a tape problem and he blurted those out while whacked out on Honeycombs. Snap: Yeah, I know. Look at the original Cap'N Crunch. They all knew he had a problem, that he needed help, but nobody wanted to jeopardize their big money maker by saying anything. Next thing you know, Ole Cappy drops a bad Crunchberry just before going onstage with Zeppelin. That news was just devastating.Pop: Cappy's death hit us all pretty hard. We stopped everything as a group for almost 4 years. We'd go into the studio and we'd almost be seeing him there doing his 30 minute version of "Crunchin'". It really <expletive>'d us off when they (General Mills) got a replacement to do his pitches. I mean geeze, he was a legend in this business. That's why we did the tribute album of his work. It's the only time in Krispie history except "Krisp and Shout", that we ever recorded cover songs.Crackle: Crunchberry Fields Forever, Cappy!! Cy Specter: That's when those cheesy rags said the group had gone stale. Truth was, they just went on to do a lot of solo gigs, right? The press read into that however they wanted, bloomin' vultures. It really put egg on their faces when they started touring again in '81. Pop: Yeah, about '81 we started up again, this time with Cy as our manager. He'd gotten a call from this cable outfit saying they wanted to promote this station that played mini musicals. I thought it was abit weird, but what the heck, I wanted to get back into playing again anyway. Daph was really supportive about the whole thing. Snap: We all just needed some time off, you know? Pop had exorcised his demons and was enjoying life for the first time in years. I was tired anyway and I think Crackle was too. We rested, we wrote and when MTV offered us a reunion of sorts, we jumped.Crackle: I dunno about that tired scene, man. I got into some bad stuff at that point, mostly thanks to that <expletive> Phooey and his <expletive> home-grown Otter Pops. I blame disco too, 'cause that was just the starting point of the roller coaster I went on. Frosted Flakes and Frosted Mini Wheats were the rage at the time and I was heavy into them. Man, anythin' frosty and my ears would perk up. It was Pop who set me straight, he'd been through it himself and told me I was gonna go soggy one day if I didn't quit. Truth was, going back to work was great therapy for me.Krispies Promo: So if you don't have it, call your local cable company and say...
I WANT MY MTV!
Pop: (laughs) Cripes... look at your hair, Crackle. Bet you wish you could mousse your wig that high now-adays.Crackle: What? You say somethin'? I was lookin' at my hand.... Snap: After we'd come back, we started off on a whole new tour and set of albums. Pop and I had quite a bit of music stored up and we needed an outlet. I have to admit the "Krispie Like The Wolf" album, while selling well, really seemed to be geared towards everyone else's audience except our own.Pop: Yeah, we needed to prove that we were a rock group and despite my name, not a 'pop' band. We started off rocking pretty hard with stuff like "All Along the Treat Tower" in the 60's. We mellowed out some in the 70's, but we still had some hard rocking left in us.Crackle: Hey Mr. Interviewer...does this look like Saturn to you? (Holding up his hand) Snap: That's when we put out the "Highway to Milk" album. That had some hard rock on it to be sure. The album "Highway to Milk", with shattering hits such as "Rice This Way", "You Krisped Me All Night Long", and "Rice You Like a Hurricane" entrenched the Krispies once again as the band to beat if you wanted any place on the music charts. Pop's guitar, once heralded as the best in the business, was evident that he'd not lost his touch.Pop: I think we all felt that was the best work we'd done in years and there was no sense in trying to top it immediately. Later we did an "Unplugged" session with MTV and that went over well.Crackle: It did? How come I never saw any of that? Hey man, you said we did that gig pro-bobo!Pop: You sort of did, Crackle. Remember you'd just divorced Maggie at the time and she was kind of mad at you. You don't remember losing your lodge at Sugar Bits Ski Resort?Crackle: Oh yeah. Which one was she, 3? Snap: 5.Crackle: <expletive>The Krispies have seen the highs and lows of the business. Overcoming odds that put most bands in the 'one hit wonder' brackets in history. Even now, the band still puts out a new album about once every 3 years. Far cry from their prime when they would often have their own albums competing against each other on the charts. However, in a business that you're only as good as your last work, the Krispies continue to set the mark that most bands only dream of.Today, Snap has concentrated on composing musical scores for movies. "Catcher in the Rice" and "Forrest Crunch" have added 3 Academy Awards to his already vast Grammy collection. In 1983 he wed Melody, the former drummer for 'Josie and the Pussycats', whom he met while the Cats were opening for them on the "Highway to Milk" tour.
In 1989 Crackle was diagnosed with Chronic Crunchback Sydrome; a disease that causes the victim to suffer frequent and unexpected "Crunchbacks", due to excessive Frosty abuse. While undergoing treatment at home in Liverpool, he went on to become a Rock Against Soggy advocate.
Pop is still with Daphne and is raising their 2 children Judy (named after Daphne's close friend Judy Jetson) and Annabelle on a ranch in Montana. Pop put out a solo album of children's songs entitled "Popapolooza" that earned him a Grammy for Best Children's Album of the Year. The following year, he released "Pop of the World, Ma!" which due to such smash hits as "Say GoodPop to Hollywood" and "Love on the Pops" earned him an Album of the Year nomination. Pop experienced even greater solo success when the romantic ballad "One More Rice", from the album "Sitting on The Pop of the Bay" earned him 'Single of the Year' and garnished him a Grammy for 'Artist of the Year'.
After a career spanning over 3 decades as the reigning Royals of Rock, the Krispies are slated to be inducted in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this year and are gearing up for a new album and tour. Not bad for a garage band from Dayton.
Pop: Daphne has done some Broadway in the past few years and she's just great. She's gotten a couple of Tony awards for "HAMlet" when she worked with Porky. Daphne: They've asked us if we'd both be in the new Ford Coppola movie this year. We've not seen the scripts yet and I'm terrified they'll want me to be the 'Godgrandma' (Laughs)Pop: (Laughs) Yeah, seriously, things have turned out ok. I mean, when we (the Krispies) started out, we were going to take music where it's never been and revolutionize the business. I dunno. Rock might've been better without us and it might've been worse. I do know one thing: that for a while, we knocked the entire music world right on its <expletive>!!Hits From The 60's | Hits From The 70's |

G. Goron Elfie: I don't care what WoodEarnie and Bertstein tell you, it was Mr. Microfone that really brought down Santa's house. I'd taken care of alot of the issues, questions about toy manufacturing and the FAA inquiries about the reindeer, that kinda stuff. But now we have Congress issuing subpoenas for transcripts of Santa's meetings. Not a real problem, we just have to stall them long enough to edit out some embarrassing things. Well then somehow the press gets wind of the recordings. Yanno the toy you talk into and it repeats what you say? Use your imagination.
I've got Bigger Fish to Fry, by Aquaman
Aquaman: My beef was this...Batman and Superman get movies, their own TV shows, cool cars and exotic bachelor pads in the arctic. The Flash and Wonder Woman even got their own shows and she got her own private jet. What did the Aquaman get? He got the shaft right in the gills, that's what buddy boy!
