Biography: Robb ROse
Shift: Weekdays 3p-7p Marital / Children Status: On my way to the dating scene again, 1 daughter (9) Hail from: Chicago, IL Hobbies: White Sox Baseball and AZ Diamondbacks Baseball, Green Bay Packers, movies, murder mystery novels. Beverage of choice: A frosty cold root beer float from A & W, or a Bacardi Silver Raz… Not much of a beer guy. How did you get started in radio? When I was little, my Dad used to sit me on his lap and put the headphones on me (back then they weighed about 50 lbs—LOL)… Anyay, hearing the BIG djs back then—Larry Lujack, Don Geronimo, Dick Biondi---I was bitten by the radio bug! What's the most annoying question people ask you? Robb Rose—is that your REAL name? Yes, it is. What is your most memorable concert experience? Too many to mention. Probably a tie between front row for Reba McEntire at PeoriaCivicCenter in 1995, and Garth Brooks at the IllinoisState Fair in 1991. Weirdest experience? Being at the aforementioned Garth Brooks concert—Trisha Yearwood opened for him… They announced on stage that between her performance and Garth, that she would be out in front of the Grandstand signing autographs. So I stood patiently in line waiting my turn… As I got closer-I noticed there was nobody behind the table with her-no record label folks, no security—NOBODY. It’s finally the guy in line in front of me’s turn to get her autograph. Instead, he walks up to the table, reaches across and grabs the lapels on her jacket, pulls her over the table and plants a LONG kiss on her---the lets go and RUNS full speed down the street to the exit. I was shocked, and so as Trisha. She regained her composure, looked at me and smiled and said: “Don’t get any funny ideas!”…. What CD are you embarrassed to own? Like Jim Pemberton, mine isn’t a cd—it’s vinyl—Village People “In The Navy”. I was 9, OK?! |
