Rock Line host Bob Coburn Dies

[Show Don't Tell]

Man, that sucks... I love listening to the Rockline shows with Rush. BC was a great host — very professional and genuine. He knew about the bands, and asked interesting questions.

 

Geez, 2016. I feel like we're just trying to drag ourselves to Jan. 1...

All of these people we've known growing up dying this year makes me understand a little better what our parents and grandparents have gone through with losing people they love and familiar things disappearing.

Last Friday, 95.5 KLOS had a ROCKLINE REPLAY day...all day they played clips from past shows, with interviews/phone calls/etc.

 

I happened to be listening at the right time... they replayed a segment of the Neil Peart 1991 show. It was great!!!!

I think that was the only time he was ever on Rockline. "A rainy night in Philadelphia...."

 

Actually that may not be entirely true, I think Neil called in for Burning For Buddy when Rockline was doing a drummers special. But 1991 was the rare time that he answered listener questions live via satellite.

 

That intro music became iconic as the years passed too.

 

Here are a few quick faves...(First one predates Bob.)
