As I mentioned on yesterdays blog, Detroit Radio lost one of it’s greats over the weekend. Robin Seymour - legendary host of WKNR’s “Bobbin’ With Robin” in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s died at the age of 94. Robin was a great talent and a great guy. When his memoir came out last year, Robin - who lived in California for years - and then years in Texas with his family - called and asked me to write the introduction. I was honored… and a bit surprised! Let me explain… During the years we worked together on Keener, I used to refer to the alley way behind the station as the “Robin Seymour Memorial Freeway”. He never commented on that… but me being me, I assumed he didn’t like it… But of course, kept doing it anyway! When Robin asked me to write the forward for his book - all those years later - I realized… I guess he did!

Robin was a legend - summed up in the book’s title - “The DJ Who Launched a Thousand Hits”. He was part of Top 40 Radio before the term “Top 40” was invented. He was also a giant in music television - hosting the wildly popular dance shows “Teen Time” and “Swingin’ Time” on Channel 9.

Robin will be missed… and hopefully - and deservedly - will be inducted in the National Radio Hall of Fame next year.

A group of sheep was spotted lined up outside a McDonald’s in Australia that has closed due to COVID-19.

- Usually when Sheep are in the mood for Chicken McNuggets they just head over to the hen house.

A popular “Adult” website says it’s seen a 22% surge in traffic since checks to help during the Pandemic started arriving from the Government.

A woman in NY went to Costco and was told her card needed updating. She was inside a cover-up hat, scarf enveloping her chin, high-neck sweater, dark glasses, no makeup and a mask.

They still took her picture.

If you’re looking for something to do during Quarantine… Wash your sheets! An infectious disease doctor says we have tiny mites all over our bodies that feed off dead skin and then “Poop” it all over our sheets.

- Sweet dreams everyone!!

According to a new survey, 50% of families in Lockdown are spending their time playing board games like Monopoly.

- Speaking of “Community Chest”… I wonder how Madonna’s holding up.
