A random email from a Twisted Tunes fan a few years ago has evolved into a personal friendship with one of the most interesting, entertaining, and intelligent people I have ever met. That says a lot, when you consider that for close to 40 years, people have been...
It was June of 1993. We decorated for Christmas twice that year. Andrew was 8 years old, Keith 10, when I recorded a conversation with them about Santa Claus. I had to turn in my Christmas Album to Atlantic Records sometime in June so the LP’s and…
Bob Rivers sits down with an 8-year-old Andrew Rivers and 10-year-old Keith Rivers to discuss Santa Claus. Ref Post: Christmas in June https://bobrivers.blog/christmas-in-june/ Radio Host from age 14 to Present. Currently blogging, planning to launch a new...
If your 2008 self got into a time machine, would you think that 2018 was a true story or fiction? One thing I've noticed is that in this era of lightning-fast opinions, everyone is playing to appeal to social media. Think about that. Howard Schulz might run for...
Poor old media companies. They can't win. Even when they do. ABC pretends to take the high ground on Roseanne Barr by ending a number one rated comedy for words said by an actor everyone knows is a jerk. Roseanne's still rich, she'll be fine. Everyone who worked on...
Roseanne says she was Ambien tweeting. As a morning radio host and longtime insomniac with a legit prescription, I can not tell you if that's true. But I can say it's possible. Yet it doesn't matter. Like it or not, we live in a new era of justice. Instant trial by...

Been a little busy last two days. As I type this, I am staring into Siri's eyes. Or eye. I wouldn't have given that a thought, if not for the story circulating today that the Chinese Government is using facial recognition technology to troll for fugitives at pop...
I've spent most of a lifetime pretty useless at basic handyman skills. If oil needed changing, a room needed painting, or a household item needed a repair, I was lucky enough that I could hire someone to take care of it. Time was an important factor. But it wasn't...

Lisa and I watch the hit show Billions, on Showtime. Sometimes you learn a lot about the human condition through fictional characters. Axe Capital, run by Hedge Fund tycoon Bobby Axelrod, confirms every negative stereotype you might have about the uber rich. US...
