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!

Today in 1860, Abraham Lincoln was elected President. Lincoln was the 1st Republican President because that party was created only 6 years prior to his election. Voter turnout back then was 82 percent, compared to 2008's presidential turnout of just 64 percent and this was back when JUST men could vote, no women and no African Americans of either gender. Lincoln's actions on slavery paved the way for this country's first African American President 148 years later. Lincoln and the slavery issue is the subject of Steven Spielberg's newest move, "Lincoln" , which comes out this Friday http://movies.msn.com/movies/movie-trailers/?from=en-us_msnhpvidmod#/video/5a8e7a30-78f7-4468-a9bc-f9aa984b1406/
