RockerMike and Rob Special Report: Mayor Eric Adams
Eric Adams is the current Mayor of New York City, having taken office on January 1, 2022. He is a former police officer, politician, and advocate for social justice. Before becoming mayor, Adams served as the Brooklyn Borough President from 2014 to 2021 and as a New York State Senator from 2007 to 2013. His rise to prominence has been marked by a focus on public safety, police reform, and addressing socioeconomic issues.
Adams was born on September 1, 1960, in Brooklyn, New York. He grew up in a working-class family and faced adversity, including being a victim of police brutality as a teenager. This experience motivated him to join the New York City Police Department (NYPD), where he served for 22 years, rising to the rank of captain. Throughout his career, Adams was an advocate for reform within the department, often calling for changes in how the police interacted with minority communities.
As mayor, Adams has prioritized reducing crime in the city, managing the ongoing recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, and addressing issues such as affordable housing and homelessness. His leadership style is pragmatic, and he often emphasizes a balance between progressive and moderate policies. He has faced challenges related to public safety, including criticism over how the city has handled spikes in crime and concerns about police accountability.
Adams has also gained attention for his unconventional lifestyle choices, including adopting a plant-based diet and promoting healthy living. He often speaks about the connection between health and leadership, sharing his own experiences of reversing his diabetes through diet and lifestyle changes.
Throughout his political career, Adams has positioned himself as a bridge between different communities in New York, advocating for both social justice reforms and practical governance focused on improving the day-to-day lives of New Yorkers.

Truth behind the crime show:
Wendy Savino special guest Frank
DeGennaro
We discuss the Wendy Savino shooting. Wendy Savino, an 87-year-old woman, was recently officially recognized by the New York Police Department as the first victim of notorious serial killer David Berkowitz, also known as “Son of Sam.” The attack occurred on April 9, 1976, when Savino was shot multiple times while sitting in her car. She sustained severe injuries, including the loss of an eye, but managed to survive the assault.
David Berkowitz initially targeted Savino before his more widely known murder spree in 1976-1977, during which he killed six people and wounded others. Although Savino provided a crucial sketch of her attacker early on, it took decades for her to be formally recognized as Berkowitz’s first victim. Her survival and perseverance contributed to his eventual capture.
Berkowitz, who remains imprisoned, expressed remorse for his crimes during a recent parole hearing, though he continues to serve multiple life sentences for the murders. The recognition of Savino’s victimhood adds a new chapter to the tragic legacy of Berkowitz’s reign of terror.

Rockshow Episode 204 The Tubes
The Tubes are a rock band that formed in San Francisco in 1972. They are best known for their theatrical live performances, blending rock, punk, satire, and outrageous costumes, creating a style that was both eccentric and influential in the late 1970s and 1980s.
Founding Members: The band was originally formed by members from two Phoenix, Arizona bands who moved to San Francisco. The core members included:
• Fee Waybill (vocals)
• Bill Spooner (guitar, vocals)
• Roger Steen (guitar, vocals)
• Rick Anderson (bass)
• Prairie Prince (drums)
• Michael Cotten (keyboards)
• Vince Welnick (keyboards)
• Musical Style: Their music blends rock with elements of punk, new wave, and progressive rock. While their music was solid, they are best remembered for their extravagant live shows that parodied media, pop culture, and consumerism. Their shows were often theatrical, featuring elaborate set designs and costumes, blending comedy, social commentary, and rock music.
• Breakthrough and Notable Albums:
• The Tubes (1975): Their self-titled debut album included the single “White Punks on Dope,” which became one of their signature songs, known for its irreverent critique of the excesses of Los Angeles youth culture.
• Young and Rich (1976) and Now (1977): These albums continued their satirical themes and unique blend of rock and performance art.
• Remote Control (1979): Produced by Todd Rundgren, this concept album critiqued television and media culture, marking a shift toward a more polished and cohesive sound.
• Completion Backward Principle (1981): This album marked their move towards mainstream success, featuring the hit singles “Talk to Ya Later” and “Don’t Want to Wait Anymore.” The band began incorporating more polished pop and rock elements, appealing to a wider audience.
• Commercial Success: Their biggest commercial success came with Completion Backward Principle and Outside Inside (1983), which included their most famous single, “She’s a Beauty.” This song reached No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and gave the band significant radio and MTV airplay during the early 1980s.
• Live Performances: The Tubes were particularly famous for their live performances, which included elaborate, theatrical shows often featuring Fee Waybill taking on various personas, including the infamous “Quay Lewd,” a character representing the decadent rock star lifestyle.
• Later Years: The Tubes continued to tour through the 1980s and into the present, though they underwent lineup changes, including the departure of keyboardist Vince Welnick, who later joined the Grateful Dead. While their commercial success waned after the mid-1980s, they retained a dedicated fan base and continued performing live, celebrated for their innovation and influence on rock theater and performance art.
Legacy:
The Tubes’ combination of humor, social critique, and musical innovation made them a unique force in rock. Their over-the-top performances influenced bands like Alice Cooper and later artists in the glam and punk scenes. Despite their often niche appeal, songs like “She’s a Beauty” cemented their place in rock history.

The Wendy Savino shooter
Was not the son of Sam.
Wendy Savino is a survivor of the notorious “Son of Sam” serial killer, David Berkowitz. In April 1976, she was shot five times by Berkowitz in a Bronx parking lot, making her one of his earliest known victims. Although she miraculously survived, she lost the use of one eye due to her injuries.

Rockshow Episode 203 Nico
Nico, born Christa Päffgen on October 16, 1938, in Cologne, Germany, was a singer, songwriter, and actress best known for her work with The Velvet Underground and her solo career. She became an iconic figure in the music and fashion scenes of the 1960s and 1970s.
Early Life and Career
Nico began her career as a model and actress in the 1950s. She appeared in several films, including Federico Fellini’s La Dolce Vita (1960). Her striking beauty and unique style made her a fixture in the European fashion world.
Music Career
Nico’s music career took off when she was introduced to Andy Warhol, who managed The Velvet Underground. Warhol suggested that Nico should sing with the band, leading to her contributions to their seminal debut album, The Velvet Underground & Nico (1967). Her deep, haunting voice added a distinct atmosphere to tracks like “Femme Fatale,” “All Tomorrow’s Parties,” and “I’ll Be Your Mirror.”
After her work with The Velvet Underground, Nico embarked on a solo career. Her debut solo album, Chelsea Girl (1967), featured a more folk-oriented sound, with contributions from members of The Velvet Underground and Bob Dylan. However, she soon moved away from this style, developing a darker, more experimental sound.
Her subsequent albums, such as The Marble Index (1968), Desertshore (1970), and The End (1974), showcased her unique approach to music, blending avant-garde, classical, and gothic elements. Nico’s solo work is often characterized by its bleak, introspective lyrics and minimalistic instrumentation, often featuring harmonium, an instrument she played herself.
Later Years and Legacy
Nico’s later years were marked by struggles with addiction and a nomadic lifestyle. She continued to release music and perform throughout the 1980s, but her health and career declined. Nico died on July 18, 1988, from a heart attack while on vacation in Ibiza.
Despite her tragic life, Nico has left a lasting impact on music and culture. She is often remembered as one of the most enigmatic and influential figures in the world of alternative and avant-garde music. Her work has influenced countless artists, and she remains a cult icon to this day.
