So, after my weekends are through ROCKIN’ on the air on ROCK 101, I go in to a bit of withdrawel.  So what do I do?  I CRANK IT UP!  I laugh while I listen to John Boy and Billy, fall in sisterly-love with Stoney every midday, learn with Brian Blades in the afternoons and go “hmmmmmm…” a lot with Larry Wilson.

What a team on our station.  If only these withdrawels from playing around in the studio myself were not so rough.  Ah well!  I will yap with you on Saturday and Sunday…  and ROCK ON you silly MOFOS.

Love,   Anne

Beatles WHITE album…  my personal fave.

Rocky Raccoon???
Why Don’t We Do It In The Road???
And Blackbird …  Still a motto of mine. Take your broken wings and learn to fly!!! All our lives… we are only waiting for our moment to  be free.

The Beatles wrote such enticing, sublime and sometimes, quite simply, happy lyrics.  There is such beauty in the simplicity and the complex.
To put it plainly:   I love The Beatles.

In first grade my best little friend, Lisa Fink, had the coolest parents.  While mine were blaring the likes of Mahalia Jackson and classical concertos, Lisa Fink’s parents were playing The Beatles.  We would go to her house after school to play.  Sneaking cottage cheese out of her mother’s stash and dancing to Oh-Bla-Di, Oh-Bla-Da off The Beatles White Album.   Vinyl, of course.

We actually entered a talent show, dancing to that classic happy song.  Six year-old girls bopping about ridiculously to the lyrics, “life goes on!”  So profound for such naive little idiots.  Lisa Fink’s parents dressed her appropriately in bell-bottom pants and a really cool shirt while my parents screwed me in to a taffeta party dress that had come over with us when we moved over from Germany.  It had been my sister Jody’s, then my sister Carolyn’s dress…  and then to my chagrin… MINE.  I looked completely un-cool!  But as you all know me, I danced my skinny ass off and yes, we won.

I still love little Lisa Fink, her cool-ass parents, and my square military upbringing… and, forever, The Beatles.

Welcome to the NEW ROCK 101

Posted in: Uncategorized

Hey guys, Annie here and not only do they give me a blog to type about all the nonsense in my brain but they’re giving us a whole new website!  What do you think of it?  There’s a lot of things I do love, like being able to leave you guys status reports as to what’s going on with ROCK 101 while I’m on the air.  Pretty cool huh?  There are a lot of other things too, but I’m still cruising through and finding out those things right a long with you.

I know I’ve been gone a little while, but hopefully I will be back this weekend, keep your fingers crossed for me!  Cause I do so miss you guys and the great music I get to play every weekend.

Well… I guess you’ll be seeing a lot more of my nonsense now that I have this blog!  See you soon!

Annie
