RockerMike and Rob Presents: John F. NooneI grew up in a small hamlet on Long Island called Floral Park. I am the youngest of eight siblings and the only one born in Floral Park. My mom was pregnant with me when we moved into our storybook home in 1963. I am now sixty years old and have lived in many places, but to this day, the majority of my dreams take place in my childhood home of Floral Park. About a year ago I had a dream that I was helping my mother retrieve some boxes from the attic. There was an unfinished section of the attic where my dad laid plywood across the rafters and we stored boxes of Christmas decorations, empty suitcases and bric-a-brac.In this dream, my mother asked me to bring her a cardboard box. But as I got close to it, I saw a bird's nest with a strange looking skeleton curled up inside. When I picked up the nest I awoke and immediately wrote down every detail I could remember. I could still see the strange skeleton with my eyes half closed, trying not to forget what it looked like, I quickly drew it with a ballpoint pen.The next day as I re-read my scribbled notes and studied the skeleton drawing I thought, 'what the heck does this mean'?And so I started writing my novel, 'The Plain Field'. In little over a year I have finished the three books of this trilogy. Releasing soon will be my second book, 'The Plain Field / Shadow Twins' and then the finale, "The Plain Field / Eyes and Ash'.Noone's debut novel, “The Plain Field,” is set in his childhood home of Floral Park. The story follows the O'Hare family as they move into a house on Plainfield Avenue, uncovering local folklore and hidden truths intertwined with their own family's secrets. The narrative delves into themes of mystery and the supernatural, reflecting the enigmatic allure of Floral Park. In addition to his writing, Noone draws inspiration from his dreams and life experiences, often incorporating them into his storytelling. He credits his “healthy Irish ability to exaggerate” as a contributing factor to his creative process. Noone has engaged with his local community through events such as book signings and Q&A sessions, including one held at the Floral Park Knights of Columbus to celebrate the release of “The Plain Field.” For readers interested in exploring Noone's work, “The Plain Field” is available in paperback and eBook formats through various retailers, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Target. https://www.instagram.com/johnfnoone?igsh=eXRuNXNwZ3RnNTVihttps://www.facebook.com/share/1Ck9jkrzdT/?mibextid=wwXIfrhttps://www.amazon.com/stores/John-F.-Noone/author/B0DBRS7QJB?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_16&sr=1-16&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=truehttps://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-plain-field-john-f-noone/1146071023#AmericanIndianDrama#SuburbanThriller#SecretAgents#Paranormal#OrganizedCrime#IrishMafia#HistoricalFiction#supernatural#Suspense#Mystery#FamilyDrama#ContemporaryFiction#Thriller

Rockshow episode 211 The Story of Stax RecordsStax Records was a pioneering American record label based in Memphis, Tennessee, that played a crucial role in the development of soul, R&B, and funk music. Founded in 1957 by Jim Stewart and his sister Estelle Axton, the label became synonymous with the gritty, raw, and deeply emotional sound that defined Southern soul.Stax was home to legendary artists such as Otis Redding, Booker T. & the M.G.'s, Sam & Dave, Wilson Pickett (through a deal with Atlantic), Isaac Hayes, and The Staple Singers. Unlike Motown, which had a polished and orchestrated style, Stax music was known for its raw energy, tight horn sections, and a heavy gospel influence.One of Stax's most defining characteristics was its integrated roster of musicians, producers, and executives during a time of deep racial segregation in the South. The studio band, Booker T. & the M.G.'s, featured both Black and white musicians, which was groundbreaking in the 1960s.The label thrived throughout the 1960s but faced difficulties after the tragic death of Otis Redding in 1967 and the loss of its distribution deal with Atlantic Records in 1968. It experienced a resurgence in the early 1970s, largely due to Isaac Hayes' massive success with Hot Buttered Soul and Shaft. However, financial struggles led to Stax's bankruptcy in 1975.In later years, Stax was revived as a brand, and its legacy continues through reissues and the Stax Museum of American Soul Music in Memphis. Its impact on music remains profound, influencing countless artists across multiple genres.https://staxrecords.com/https://youtube.com/@staxrecords?si=bPBfHvzs7kxHrb5Dhttps://staxmuseum.org/#StaxRecords #SoulMusic #MemphisSoul #OtisRedding #IsaacHayes #BookerTandTheMGs #SouthernSoul #RNB #ClassicSoul #SamAndDave #TheStapleSingers #SoulLegends #Funk #VintageVinyl #MusicHistory #StaxMuseum #RespectYourRoots

I am Right episode 1 Congestion pricing As of February 19, 2025, the U.S. Department of Transportation has rescinded its approval of New York City's congestion pricing program, effectively halting the initiative. The program, which began on January 5, 2025, imposed a $9 toll on most vehicles entering Manhattan south of 60th Street during peak hours, aiming to reduce traffic congestion and fund mass transit improvements. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy criticized the program, stating it lacked a toll-free alternative and disproportionately burdened working-class Americans and small businesses. In response, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) has filed a lawsuit to challenge the federal government's decision and maintain the program. The future of congestion pricing in New York City remains uncertain as legal proceedings unfold.#CongestionPricing#TrafficReduction#UrbanMobility#SustainableCities#CleanAir#NYCtraffic#NYCCommute#MTAFunding#ManhattanToll#FixTheSubway

They signed with Decca Records and released their self-titled debut album in 1971, but mainstream success eluded them at first.Their breakthrough came in 1972 with their reworking of the traditional Irish folk song “Whiskey in the Jar,” which became a major hit in Ireland and the UK. However, after their next few albums underperformed, Eric Bell left the band, leading to a major lineup change that would define their classic sound.The Classic Thin Lizzy Lineup (1974-1980)After Bell's departure, Thin Lizzy transitioned into a twin-guitar rock powerhouse. Lynott recruited Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson, forming the band's legendary dual-guitar attack. Their first major success in this era came with “The Boys Are Back in Town” (1976) from the Jailbreak album, which remains their most famous song.Notable Albums & Songs:•Jailbreak (1976) – “The Boys Are Back in Town,” “Jailbreak” •Johnny the Fox (1976) – “Don't Believe a Word” •Bad Reputation (1977) – “Dancing in the Moonlight,” “Bad Reputation”•Live and Dangerous (1978) – Regarded as one of the greatest live rock albums of all time•Black Rose: A Rock Legend (1979) – “Do Anything You Want To,” “Waiting for an Alibi,” “Black Rose”Thin Lizzy became known for their explosive live performances, poetic lyrics, and blending of hard rock with Irish storytelling. However, internal tensions, particularly with Brian Robertson's unreliability, led to lineup changes.The Later Years & Decline (1980-1983)Thin Lizzy disbanded in 1983 after a farewell tour, marking the end of an era.Phil Lynott's Solo Career & Tragic DeathAfter Thin Lizzy, Lynott pursued a solo career, releasing two albums:•Solo in Soho (1980) – “King's Call,” “Dear Miss Lonelyhearts”•The Philip Lynott Album (1982) He also collaborated with musicians like Gary Moore (“Out in the Fields”) and worked on various projects. However, his drug addiction worsened, and in late 1985, he collapsed due to complications from heroin and alcohol abuse.Phil Lynott passed away on January 4, 1986, at the age of 36.Thin Lizzy's LegacyDespite Lynott's passing, Thin Lizzy's influence remains strong. Various members have carried on the band's music, with Scott Gorham leading tribute tours. Lynott's lyrical storytelling, stage presence, and fusion of Celtic themes with hard rock inspired countless musicians, including Metallica, Iron Maiden, and U2.Today, Lynott is celebrated as Ireland's first great rock star, with statues, documentaries, and tributes keeping his legacy alive.Essential Listening for New Fans: Phil Lynott remains one of rock's most beloved and tragic figures—a poet, a rocker, and a legend whose music still resonates today.http://www.thinlizzy.org/phil.htmlhttps://youtube.com/@thinlizzyofficial?si=HtxqVIFF3_AuRiWrhttps://www.thinlizzyofficial.com/https://www.facebook.com/share/15serR1qV2/?mibextid=wwXIfrhttps://x.com/thinlizzy_?s=21&t=Mzw5de5zsR-SDDbhyzH0Lghttps://www.instagram.com/thinlizzy?igsh=bjE3aXRvdnhnMDVh#ThinLizzy #PhilLynott #RockLegends #ClassicRock #IrishRock #TheBoysAreBackInTown #Jailbreak #LiveAndDangerous #70sRock #HardRock #WhiskeyInTheJar #BlackRose #DancingInTheMoonlight #RockNRoll #LegendaryBands

Krautrock is known for blending rock, electronic music, and avant-garde experimentation, influencing many subsequent genres, including post-punk, new wave, and electronic music.Can:• Origin: Cologne, West Germany (1968) • Members: The classic lineup consisted of Holger Czukay (bass), Irmin Schmidt (keyboards), Jaki Liebezeit (drums), Michael Karoli (guitar), and Damo Suzuki (vocals from 1970 to 1973). • Style: Can's sound is a fusion of psychedelic rock, avant-garde, jazz, and funk with a strong emphasis on improvisation and minimalist rhythms. They often used repetitive grooves and layered textures, creating a hypnotic effect. Their music could range from delicate, ambient passages to wild, chaotic experimentation. • Notable Albums: • Tago Mago (1971): A landmark album known for its experimental sound, long instrumental jams, and Suzuki's unpredictable vocals. • Ege Bamyasi (1972): Featuring more concise and rhythmic songs, with hits like “Vitamin C” and “Spoon.” • Future Days (1973): A more ambient, ethereal record, often seen as a peak of the band's explorative nature. • Influence: Can was highly influential in shaping the experimental rock and electronic scenes, inspiring artists ranging from David Bowie to Radiohead.Faust: • Origin: Wümme, West Germany (1971) • Members: The core lineup included Werner “Zappi” Diermaier (drums), Jean-Hervé Péron (bass), Rudolf Sosna (guitar, keyboards), Arnulf Meifert (drums), and Hans Joachim Irmler (keyboards). • Style: Faust's music is more avant-garde and noise-oriented than Can's. They mixed rock with musique concrète, tape experiments, electronic soundscapes, and dissonant, atonal elements. Their sound often had an anarchic, confrontational edge, pushing the boundaries of what rock music could be. • Notable Albums: • Faust (1971): Their debut, an experimental and highly eclectic album, blending found sounds, noise, and fragmented song structures. • Faust IV (1973): A more accessible but still experimental album, with a mix of rock, ambient soundscapes, and odd time signatures. • The Faust Tapes (1973): Originally sold for a low price, this album was a collage of improvisations, studio experiments, and sound cut-ups. • Influence: Faust is seen as one of the most avant-garde bands of the Krautrock scene, influencing later experimental and industrial music, as well as bands in the post-punk and art-rock genres.Both bands were central to Krautrock's ethos of breaking free from traditional rock structures, emphasizing improvisation, and pushing boundaries with studio technology. While Can leaned more into groove-oriented, hypnotic rhythms, Faust embraced a more radical approach to sound experimentation.For Can:#CanBand #Krautrock #ExperimentalRock #TagoMago #EgeBamyasi #DamoSuzuki #HolgerCzukay #IrminSchmidt #JakiLiebezeit #MichaelKaroli #PsychedelicRock #AvantGarde #MinimalistRock #PostPunkInfluence #FutureDays #GermanRockFor Faust:#FaustBand #Krautrock #AvantGardeRock #ExperimentalMusic #FaustIV #TheFaustTapes #ZappiDiermaier #JeanHervePeron #HansJoachimIrmler #MusiqueConcrete #NoiseRock #GermanUnderground #ArtRock #IndustrialMusicInfluence #FaustExperimentation

Truth behind the crime show:Wendy Savino special guest FrankDeGennaro We discuss the Wendy Savino shooting. Wendy Savino, an 87-year-old woman, was recently officially recognized by the New York Police Department as the first victim of notorious serial killer David Berkowitz, also known as “Son of Sam.” The attack occurred on April 9, 1976, when Savino was shot multiple times while sitting in her car. She sustained severe injuries, including the loss of an eye, but managed to survive the assault.David Berkowitz initially targeted Savino before his more widely known murder spree in 1976-1977, during which he killed six people and wounded others. Although Savino provided a crucial sketch of her attacker early on, it took decades for her to be formally recognized as Berkowitz's first victim. Her survival and perseverance contributed to his eventual capture.Berkowitz, who remains imprisoned, expressed remorse for his crimes during a recent parole hearing, though he continues to serve multiple life sentences for the murders. The recognition of Savino's victimhood adds a new chapter to the tragic legacy of Berkowitz's reign of terror.#TrueCrime #TrueCrimeCommunity#CrimeJunkie #TrueCrimeAddict#MurderMystery #ColdCase#SerialKillers #UnsolvedMysteries#TrueCrimePodcast#CrimeDocumentary#TrueCrimeObsessed#MysteryMonday #MissingPersons#ForensicFiles #JusticeForAllPlease follow us on Youtube,Facebook,Instagram,Twitter,Patreon and at www.gettinglumpedup.comhttps://linktr.ee/RobRossiGet your T-shirt at https://www.prowrestlingtees.com/gettinglumpedupAnd https://www.bonfire.com/store/getting-lumped-up/Subscribe to the channel and hit the like button This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rob-rossi/support

Rockshow Episode 204 The TubesThe Tubes are a rock band that formed in San Francisco in 1972. They are best known for their theatrical live performances, blending rock, punk, satire, and outrageous costumes, creating a style that was both eccentric and influential in the late 1970s and 1980s.Founding Members: The band was originally formed by members from two Phoenix, Arizona bands who moved to San Francisco.

While their commercial success waned after the mid-1980s, they retained a dedicated fan base and continued performing live, celebrated for their innovation and influence on rock theater and performance art.Legacy:The Tubes' combination of humor, social critique, and musical innovation made them a unique force in rock. Their over-the-top performances influenced bands like Alice Cooper and later artists in the glam and punk scenes. Despite their often niche appeal, songs like “She's a Beauty” cemented their place in rock history.https://music.youtube.com/channel/UCvi9BIX7PSQcRj-sfBENAnw?si=CdeZZpnO72vcw53Zhttps://youtube.com/@thetubesgroup?si=TfsfJY7v1k0NJd8_https://thetubes.com/https://www.facebook.com/share/ntgwQGjZhzHnAS8M/?mibextid=LQQJ4dhttps://x.com/thetubesgroup?s=21&t=Mzw5de5zsR-SDDbhyzH0Lghttps://www.instagram.com/thetubesgroup?igsh=MXY4dmRyMGR6dGZ6dA==#TheTubes #RockBand#WhitePunksOnDope#ShesABeauty #FeeWaybill#ClassicRock #70sRock #80sRock#newwave #TalkToYaLater#CompletionBackwardPrinciple#LivePerformance #RockTheater#SatireRock #ToddRundgrenProducedPlease follow us on Youtube,Facebook,Instagram,Twitter,Patreon and at www.gettinglumpedup.comhttps://linktr.ee/RobRossiGet your T-shirt at https://www.prowrestlingtees.com/gettinglumpeduphttps://www.patreon.com/Gettinglumpedup

Rockshow episode 201 Amy Winehouse Amy Winehouse was a British singer-songwriter known for her deep, expressive contralto vocals and her eclectic mix of musical genres, including soul, rhythm and blues, jazz, and reggae. Born on September 14, 1983, in Southgate, London, she became one of the most celebrated and controversial artists of her time. Winehouse's rise to fame began with her debut album, “Frank” (2003), which received critical acclaim and was nominated for the Mercury Prize. However, it was her second album, “Back to Black” (2006), that catapulted her to international stardom. This album included hits like “Rehab,” “You Know I'm No Good,” and “Back to Black,” and won five Grammy Awards, including Record of the Year and Song of the Year for “Rehab.” Despite her success, Winehouse's career was often overshadowed by her personal struggles with substance abuse, mental health issues, and tumultuous relationships, particularly with her ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil. Her distinctive beehive hairstyle and heavy eyeliner became iconic, but her erratic behavior and frequent run-ins with the law drew significant media attention. Tragically, Amy Winehouse died on July 23, 2011, at the age of 27, from alcohol poisoning. Her death was widely mourned, and she was posthumously celebrated for her contributions to music. Her life and career have been the subject of numerous documentaries and biographical works, most notably the 2015 film “Amy,” which won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. Winehouse remains a symbol of both immense talent and the tragic consequences of fame and addiction. https://www.amywinehouse.com/ https://www.facebook.com/share/AK9HYjKcX8fYRRRA/?mibextid=LQQJ4d https://www.instagram.com/amywinehouse?igsh=MWh6anFzcHp2M3Mxbw== https://youtube.com/@amywinehousevideo?si=y56GedgioC-E_Hw6 https://amywinehousefoundation.org/ https://x.com/amywinehouse?s=21&t=Mzw5de5zsR-SDDbhyzH0Lg #AmyWinehouse #BackToBlack #Rehab #FrankAlbum #SoulMusic#jazz #Blues #IconicVoice#MusicLegend #GoneTooSoon #27Club #AmyForever #Winehouse #BritishMusic #ClassicAlbums Please follow us on Youtube,Facebook,Instagram,Twitter,Patreon and at www.gettinglumpedup.com https://linktr.ee/RobRossi Get your T-shirt at https://www.prowrestlingtees.com/gettinglumpedup And https://www.bonfire.com/store/getting-lumped-up/ Subscribe to the channel and hit the like button This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rob-rossi/support https://www.patreon.com/Gettinglumpedup
