RockerMike and Rob Presents:Suzi Ronson
Suzi Ronson (nĂŠe Fussey) played a crucial behind-the-scenes role in shaping David Bowieâs image during his Ziggy Stardust era. Born in England, she worked as a hairdresser in Beckenham when she first encountered Bowie and his then-wife, Angie Bowie. It was Suzi who gave Bowie the now-iconic red mullet haircut, which was inspired by a style from a Japanese fashion magazine. Impressed by her work, Bowie invited her to join his team as a personal stylist, making her the first woman to be part of his touring crew.
During the early 1970s, Suzi traveled with Bowie and his band, the Spiders from Mars, styling his hair, helping with wardrobe, and supporting the overall theatrical vision of his performances. This period was one of the most visually striking and influential phases of Bowieâs career.
While working with Bowie, she met Mick Ronson, Bowieâs lead guitarist and arranger. The two fell in love and eventually married, starting a family together. After Mickâs passing in 1993, Suzi continued working in creative fields, including music production, writing, and storytelling.
In recent years, she has shared her experiences from the Ziggy Stardust era through interviews and articles, giving fans a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes world of one of rockâs most transformative periods. Her contributions to Bowieâs image and legacy remain a vital part of his history.

RockerMike and Rob Presents: John F. Noone
I 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'.
Nooneâs debut novel, âThe Plain Field,â is set in his childhood home of Floral Park. The story follows the OâHare family as they move into a house on Plainfield Avenue, uncovering local folklore and hidden truths intertwined with their own familyâs 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 âhealthy Irish ability to exaggerateâ 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 âThe Plain Field.â
For readers interested in exploring Nooneâs work, âThe Plain Fieldâ is available in paperback and eBook formats through various retailers, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Target.

Rockshow episode 211 The Story of Stax Records
Stax 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.âs, 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 Staxâs 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.âs, 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 Hayesâ massive success with Hot Buttered Soul and Shaft. However, financial struggles led to Staxâs 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.

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 Cityâs 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 governmentâs decision and maintain the program.
The future of congestion pricing in New York City remains uncertain as legal proceedings unfold.

Rockshow episode 210 The Story of Phil Lynott and Thin Lizzy
Philip Parris Lynott, born on August 20, 1949, in West Bromwich, England, and raised in Dublin, Ireland, was the charismatic frontman, bassist, and primary songwriter of Thin Lizzyâone of the most influential rock bands of the 1970s and early 80s. Known for his poetic lyrics, distinctive voice, and commanding stage presence, Lynott played a crucial role in shaping the bandâs signature sound, blending hard rock with Celtic influences and storytelling.
The Formation of Thin Lizzy (1969-1972)
Lynott formed Thin Lizzy in Dublin in 1969, along with drummer Brian Downey, guitarist Eric Bell, and organist Eric Wrixon (who left shortly after). The band was named after a character from a comic book (The Dandyâs âTin Lizzieâ). 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 âWhiskey in the Jar,â 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 Bellâs departure, Thin Lizzy transitioned into a twin-guitar rock powerhouse. Lynott recruited Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson, forming the bandâs legendary dual-guitar attack. Their first major success in this era came with âThe Boys Are Back in Townâ (1976) from the Jailbreak album, which remains their most famous song.
Notable Albums & Songs:
â˘Jailbreak (1976) â âThe Boys Are Back in Town,â âJailbreakâ
â˘Johnny the Fox (1976) â âDonât Believe a Wordâ
â˘Bad Reputation (1977) â âDancing in the Moonlight,â âBad Reputationâ
â˘Live and Dangerous (1978) â Regarded as one of the greatest live rock albums of all time
â˘Black Rose: A Rock Legend (1979) â âDo Anything You Want To,â âWaiting for an Alibi,â âBlack Roseâ
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 Robertsonâs 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 Lynottâs Solo Career & Tragic Death
After Thin Lizzy, Lynott pursued a solo career, releasing two albums:
â˘Solo in Soho (1980) â âKingâs Call,â âDear Miss Lonelyheartsâ
â˘The Philip Lynott Album (1982)
He also collaborated with musicians like Gary Moore (âOut in the Fieldsâ) 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 Lizzyâs Legacy
Despite Lynottâs passing, Thin Lizzyâs influence remains strong. Various members have carried on the bandâs music, with Scott Gorham leading tribute tours. Lynottâs 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 Irelandâs first great rock star, with statues, documentaries, and tributes keeping his legacy alive.
Essential Listening for New Fans:
Phil Lynott remains one of rockâs most beloved and tragic figuresâa poet, a rocker, and a legend whose music still resonates today.
