I was stationed at the Shipyard from 1985 - 1987. Pierre Robert is one of 4 DJs throughout my life that I can recall. The other 3 were / are Casey Kasom, Wolfman Jack, and Jonathon Brandmeier (WLUP, Chicago).

I recall him doing a 1/10th second part of a song to "name that tune" at 8:10 every morning. (I was good at that. ) And when he announced the new Talking Heads album in '85. And also that Live Aid was going to be at JFK stadium in Philadelphia, even though everyone thought it was going to be at Merriweather Post Pavillion in Baltimore, MD.

The MMRBQs that I went to, later in life, he introduced the starting acts, and many of them were "nobodies" at the time, including Halestorm.

I also recall him announcing on the radio that "volunteers" were needed to film this video, in Exton. (Where the hell is Sanaxx?) I was there.
