jb Really a nice guy who I respected for his candor and great sense of humor. I am sorry to hear the bad news Max. Please send my condolences.

Nasty Habits I heard that Ken Daschau kidnapped him because he was a Stones positive influence on the radio and would play songs from side THREE of Love You Live and declare them El Macambo numbers. I think that the anti-ASS RAP-league should mobilize and free Riffhard.

Nellcote Here's Keith from the Toronto Sun yesterday, on special guests for 01/18:

Have we seen the last of former bandmate Bill Wyman?

"He could guest star," said Jagger. "He could come back as a funeral director," added Richards.

Joey I saw Riffy walking Hand - in - Hand with Blue last weekend while on a " business " trip in Chicago .

Each man was wearing a raincoat even though it was sunny and seventy degrees . I ran up to both of them and said , " Riffy !!!! Blue !!!!! Is that really you ???? Man , you two were Minty Fresh and sure knew how to post . "

Riffy just pushed me aside and said , " I must make my witness " and kept on walking .....................

Oh , the horror ....................

The horror .........................

Maxlugar I'm worried!

Come home Riffy!!!!

I'm moved to quote one of Rocks true geniuses, Ray Davies.

A song called Around the Dial:

Radios of the world are tuning in tonight,
Are you on the dial, are you tuned in right?
One of our D.J.'s is missing.
Are you listening?
Are you listening to me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me clearly?
Around the dial.

I've been around the dial so many times,
But you're not there.
Somebody tells me that you've been taken off the air.
Well, you were my favorite D.J.,
Since I can't remember when.
You always played the best records,
You never followed any trend.
F.M., A.M. where are you?
You gotta be out there somewhere on the dial.
On the dial.

(Are you ready) We're going 'round the dial,
(Are you listening) Around the dial,
(Are you tuned in) Around the dial,
(Are you searchin') Around the dial.
F.M., A.M. where are you?
You gotta be out there somewhere on the dial.
On the dial.

Where did you go Mr. D.J.?
Did they take you off the air?
Was it something that you said to the corporation guys upstairs?
It wasn't the pressure,
You never sounded down.
It couldn't be the ratings,
You had the best in town.
Somehow I'm gonna find ya, track you down.
Gonna keep on searchin',
Around and around and 'round and 'round...

(They're searchin') Around the dial,
(They're listenin') Around the dial,
(Poor station) The best in town,
(Poor D.J.) Who never let us down.
While the critics kept on knocking you,
You just kept on rocking around the dial.
Around the dial.

I've been searchin' for you on my radio.
This time your station really must have gone underground
Somebody said you had a minor nervous breakdown.
Was it something that you heard,
Or something that you saw,
That made you lose your mind,
Did you lose control.
Did you step out of line?
If you're there, give us a sign.

I can't believe that you've been taken off the air.
Think I'll sell my radio now that you're not there.
You never gave in to fashion,
You never followed any trends,
All the record bums tried to hack you up,
But you were honest to the end.
Gonna keep my radio on,
'Till I know just what went wrong.
The answers out there somewhere on the dial.
On the dial.

Can you hear me (around the dial)
Are you listenin' (around the dial)
Are you out there (around the dial)
Can you hear me?
Around the dial.

Thanks Ray.

Send us a sign Riffy!

sirmoonie Maxwell! Classic tune, classic album! Heavy metal my ass, Give the fucking people what they want!

And I'm reminded (tx SB!) that:

Life is a rock but the radio rolled me
Gotta turn it up louder, so my Riffie DJ told me
Life is a rock but the radio rolled me
At the end of my rainbow lies a golden oldie

FM, AM, hits are clickin' while the clock is tock-a-tickin'
Friends and Romans, salutations, Brenda and the Tabulations
Carly Simon, I behold her, Rolling Stones and centerfoldin'
Johnny Cash and Johnny Rivers, can't stop now, I got the shivers,
Mungo Jerry, Peter Peter Paul and Paul and Mary Mary
Dr. John the nightly tripper, Doris Day and Jack the Ripper
Gotta go Sir, gotta swelter, Leon Russell, Gimme Shelter
Miracles in smokey places, slide guitars and Fender basses
Mushroom omelet, Bonnie Bramlett, Wilson Pickett, stop and kick it

(louder, now!)

Life is a rock but the radio rolled me!
Gotta turn it up louder, so my DJ told me!
Life is a rock but the radio rolled me!
At the end of my rainbow lies a golden oldie....

Mashmallow in the chocolate pudding!

Martha

Sir Stonesalot Do you remember Rock and Roll Radio?

Riffy, give us a sign!
01-10-03 07:59 AM
Maxlugar Josh, your reading comprehension skills are alarmingly small.

I said that was a song by Ray Davies and I even named the song. It is not Poem by me.

Please slow down.

I only hope you are reading depositions better than you are reading this board.

M!

Joey " I only hope you are reading depositions better than you are reading this board. "

Henry Kissinger must be VERY disappointed in Josh these days .............................

I know you are all looking forward to a REUNION with Riffhard, but I am telling you -- ASS RAP got him. He was too pro stones!

Don't you know that:

You either shut up or get cut up they don't want to hear about it it's only inches on the reel to reel and the radio was in the hands of such a lot of fools trying to anesthetize the way that you feel?


Not that anesthetic doesn't have its Attractions!


01-10-03 10:27 AM
Maxlugar Riffhard will always live on in our hearts, I'm sure.

He was a gravel voiced adonis of the radio world.

Until I hear otherwise, I'll assume he was ASS RAPed.

Thanks Nasty!


01-10-03 10:28 AM
nankerphelge Ass Raped? Whew that's rough, that prison sex stuff.

No wonder his voice was so raspy!
01-10-03 10:31 AM
jb Has anyone seem Ned Betty and Riff in the same room?
01-10-03 10:40 AM
Joey Oh Oh , I believe I saw Riffy's name up on the credits for HBO's television series " OZ " !!!!!!

Oh, the horror..............

The horror..................
