Awwww damn! Bummer. A voice of my youth Monday thru Friday after school. From the days when KROQ wasn’t owned by evil conglomerates and still let their DJs make some of their own picks. A free hip music teach-in at a time when college radio wasn't really a thing yet.

And a funny, good-humored oddball radio presence as well. (Can’t believe he died before Rodney- anyone heard his SiriusXM show lately? He sounds like he’s on death’s door.)

I try to catch Rodney every week...he plays lots of cool stuff...but, yeah, he unfortunately does not sound well and is very hard to understand.
