Rich Phoenix says :
Why are you involved in The Album Zone ? There's gotta be something better than what passes these days for "terrestrial radio," and we're it -- plus, I want terrestrial radio to see (and hear) what they're missing by my "working" full-time in municipal government. What's your favourite colour ? Red. What's your favourite sweets ? "Iced" pretzels. Favourite Food : Plain pretzels, salted to taste. Least Favourite Food : Dhuri -- a form of large Asian fruit that smells like a busted natural gaz main -- f***in' horrible! What do you want to be when you grow up ? Successful at whatever and rich enough to "retire" immediately. Choose ONE word to describe yourself : Eccentric What could you not live without ? Reasonably good health.
