So it’s been a hot minute since my last blog post. My food blog www.foodpocalypsenow.com has suffered as well. It’s been a crazy year thus far with my heart issues. Doctor visits and hospital stays for tests and procedures have kept my mind preoccupied. Unfortunately, my blogs and radio show have suffered. Well, that’s about…
Rockin Rich here – Be sure when wishing family & friends a fun filled kick off of summer holiday weekend…please don’t say “Happy Memorial Day”. Many family members and friends of departed military service personnel struggle on this particular day that was set aside to remember and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice. …
Rockin Rich here. May is Motorcycle Awareness Month in Pennsylvania. As a rider myself, I wanted to remind everyone who operates a motor vehicle – 2 or 4 wheels – to look out for one another on the road this riding season. Bikers – please review your reactionary riding skills…no matter how experienced you are. …
Taking quick break from my blog series on musical influences, a new one coming after the Easter holiday by the way, to talk a little Penguins hockey.

I’m trying something new here on my blog for the Rocky website. It’s a several week look at the people who influenced the music that I love and the musical tastes that I have developed over the years, at various stages of my life. This first blog post is called “The Beginning” because appropriately, that’s…
The Grammys have come and gone. All I can say is…woop de doo! Once upon a time, the Grammys were a big deal to a rock radio personality such as myself. It was a night when all of the biggest rock stars were out and up for the biggest awards. Not so much these days!…
Dynasties are easy these days when you have a history of cheating, the league protects your QB and said league makes sure questionable calls benefit your team in big games before they change the rules. It’s so simple! No congratulations here for the Pats. Sour grapes you may say? You bet your sweet ask me…
Just want to start the discussion here. Why haven’t we had a classic rock band or performer at the Crawford County Fair since the sold out Skynyrd concert in 2007?
