I discovered rock music when my older brother brought home a mix-tape with AC/DC and Maiden. Twisted Sister was my favorite band in the fourth grade. My Top 5 Concerts are: Pink Floyd at Mile High Stadium, Tool at Coachella (Madonna was there too), Peter Gabriel, KISS Reunion Tour 97, and the Fleetwood Mac Reunion 97. The person I most admire is George Carlin. My favorite hobby is consumption. It’s always cool to hear from listeners, so feel free to send me your questions, comments, criticisms and suggestions : rick.roddam@townsquaremedia.com
