A "Top 40" Legend Departs

This doesn't have anything to do with news, politics, or much of anything else, but I really should note the passing of "Big Ron" O'Brien of radio station WOGL in these parts (this post from blogger classicrockfm captures him pretty well and also includes today's obit in The Philadelphia Inquirer - he had been sick with pneumonia).

In addition to his radio career, he also helped raise money for Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, so he knew all about giving back also.

I really think we should take note when someone who truly loves his or her work leaves our midst, so I just want to do that here. And as a tribute, here's "Let's Live For Today" by The Grass Roots, which he acknowledged numerous times as his favorite band.
