L-O-V-E - A FOUR LETTER WORD
Think about the idea of LOVE for a moment. Think of all the songs written about love, the stories told about love, the movies made about LOVE – Love is the single most terrifying, yet exhilirating emotion, feeling or concept ever felt. The idea of deep eternal love – the ...
Stones Play small gig in Paris
The Rolling Stones played their first gig in five years at a small rock club in Paris on Thursday night. With a crowd of about 600, the show recalled their Marquee club roots as the band cranked out a barrage of career-spanning hits such as “It’s Only Rock & Roll ...
Help The River help Mitch
Have you heard the story about Mitch Comer? If not - well, to put it frankly - it's not a pretty story. Mitch was a kid living in Paulding County and his step-father put him on a bus to L.A. after he turned 18, with a list of homeless shelters ...
Is there anything better??
Is there anything better then fall – especially in Georgia?? I tend to think not. The weather is the best – the vibe is the best – the smell in the air…. Think about it for a minute. From football games in Athens or at the Dome, playoff baseball at ...
MY Weekend To Remember!!!
Atlanta is the perfect city for an Outdoor Concert - Think about the shows in Atlanta's Rock n' Roll History: From seeing the Allman Brothers in PiedmontPark to the Atlanta Pop Festival, to the GREEN Concerts with The Eagles or Paul McCartney. Once the heat of Summer dies down and ...

F*@K Cancer
That's right - I said it - And you know you believe it. Darn it if this year isn't even over and I have now lost TWO - count them TWO dear friends...Both Mothers, both with small children that now have to live life without their mommies!! BS - It's ...
No Rock on 96-1!!!
So I should be happy right?? One of The River's competitors is no longer a competitor. Yesterday, the powers that be at Clear Channel Atlanta decided to use the frequency sitting at 96.1 as the launching ground of their new format and station. Power 96 - and it's now a ...
I'm a political junky!!! - NOT!
Romney/Ryan - Obama/Biden - that's the ticket right? These are our options for President and Vice President right? I'm sorry - But I'm ignorant and I'm going to admit it to you right now. I was always told that you are what your parents make you - and no offense ...
Just another 1st day of school!!!
And so it begins yet again...Another school year. Only the second one for my little 1st grader but boy - he's already over the drama. I've never seen someone so against going back to school. Of course, I never had to deal with ME on the 1st day of school. ...
Pink Floyd Alumni To Perform at Olympics?
Have you heard the news?? It looks like at least one - MAYBE two members of Pink Floyd will be performing "Wish You Were Here" at the conclusion of the 2012 London Olympics on August 12th! It appears that only the drummer Nick Mason has actually confirmed the gig and ...
I believe in Yesterday
Call me silly, but when something significant in life changes, I refer back to one song that I heard/saw during one particular moment that lives with me forever. The song makes total sense...the song was "Yesterday" by The Beatles - See, "Yesterday - all my troubles seemed so far away, ...
You CAN go home!!
Last week, I went on vacation....Well, I had a hard time considering it a vacation for two reasons 1) It was in Toledo Ohio 2) I was visiting family. You see, when I think of vacation - I think of the beach, or a camping trip in the mountains or ...
Pick your Block on The River!
What exactly does that mean you ask?? Well, we here at The River decided that what we really want to do is to REALLY include you (the listener) on a daily basis, in deciding the music we play. See, modern technology is a beautiful thing and beginning Monday - we ...
My High School Flashback
Working at a Classic Rock station, surrounded by the music that I grew up with, makes it easy to take a trip down memory lane. I mean, that's why most of you listen to The River. To flashback to a time and place where maybe everything was a bit better, ...
Father's Day is the greatest day
Isn't it great when you can balance everything? Not that I'm an expert at it at all but this weekend turned out to be the perfect balancing act up at Lake Lanier Islands Resort. Time with my buddies, time on the beach and most importantly, time with my Number 1 ...
Sports!?!?! Only when my kid is playing
Boy oh boy, how things change the older you get. Maybe it's just because I root for stinky teams, but I find myself, less and less interested in sports. All sports. I grew up a HUGE football fan, loved my Red Wings and even supported the Pistons back in the ...
Woodstock ROCKS! I on the other hand....DON'T!
As the old cartoon cat Garfield used to say - "I hate Mondays!" I espcially do not like this one...I did however LOVE the weekend up in Woodstock for the 7th Annual Wing n' Rock Fest. Thousands of people joined us for one of the station's biggest events of the ...
So, age is just a number??
So I remember very clearly, coming home from school on my 16th Birthday and my sweet girlfriend had decorated the house for me and my birthday. It was very sweet - the only problem was that I had told everyone that I was 17 - not 16 and apparently, she ...
Memorial Day weekend - Building Tradition?
It's here! The first big weekend of the summer. The kids are out of school and now it's time to PARTY!!! Right? I have always been a fan of tradition. You know, that thing that you and fanily do EVERY year at the same time. Whether it be Christmas time, ...
