I LOVE playing rockin' songs on KHITS in the morning 'cause when I'm crankin' up the studio speakers (...and they are SA-weet!)...I visualize you rollin' down the highway 'equally cranked'! I've been up and down the dial in St. Louis since the mid 80's doing news anchor and talk show host gigs on the AM band. On FM I've been "Rockin' Ricky" (still am!), part of Chase and Sanborn , one of the brothers of The Sanborn Brothers,and the music stations ran the gamut, rock, country, oldies, soft rock, smooth jazz...and here at "The Rock Wall of Emmis" where I'm havin' a blast! This place rocks!

I listen to all kinds of music. The other day I was jammin’ to an oldie but goodie by The Temptations. While ‘singing’ along, (I use that term loosely if you’ve ever heard me ‘sing’!) I took note of the lyrics; in particular how relevant most of them still are today---43 years after they were written!!! Kind of a sad indictment on the lack of our human progress: Here are some of the lines from 1970’s “Ball Of Confusion” by The Temptations:
People movin' out People movin' in, why? because of the color of their skin
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, vote for me, and I'll set you free
The sale of pills are at an all time high, young folks walk around with their heads in the sky
Air pollution, revolution, gun control, sound of soul, shootin' rockets to the moon, kids growin' up too ...
