Radio City With Jon Grayson & Rob Ross: Episode Two Hundred Twenty One

Yes, we know it’s quite a bit later than expected, but since life does interfere, here’s what was recorded as the 2024 wrap-up: Rob talks about his (then) upcoming birthday and turning 60 – the genuine discomforts and alien idea of it, his surgery and the after-effects; they discuss the mayhem of New York City, The Beatles as a regular holiday music rotation; how people tend to interpret song lyrics (including Rob’s recollection of writing The Punch Line’s first single).  They also talk about the reissues of the first two dB’s albums, the majestic bass playing of The Who’s John Entwistle, their warm recollections on the 60th anniversary broadcast of “Rudolph, The Red-Nosed Reindeer” and somewhat sour points of view on each one’s favorite sports teams (!).

It’s another fun and warm conversation with our two gurus – so let yourself relax on this very enjoyable episode of Radio City…
