Title: "Locky" Pamplin
Post by: Juice Brohnston on April 18, 2016, 04:01:03 PM
Ok, I know that all Rocky related threads were locked down. And surely for good reason. Still, I wanted to say it was a hell of a ride for 6 months, and it was a bit like your favourite show being abruptly cancelled. You know I was hoping for the 'Goodbye' written in stones visible from the helicopter, or Suzanne Pleshette in Newhart's bed. We kinda got the 20 seconds of black at the end of The Sopranos. :banana :banana

Hey, were you on WRBC?

Hey, were you on WRBC?

Not I.  That was the American Lee Marshall...voice of Tony The Tiger...not to mention Lee working at various radio stations along the way and he was also heard via several TV outlets due to his being the announcer for AWA Wrestling for a period of time.  Sadly... he passed away April 26, 2014, He was 64 and almost 5 months in age on that date.  I'd be the Canadian version and am at the present time, about 1 1/2 months younger than the 'numbers' Lee hit.  Marshall was actually HIS first name to start....Marshall Mayer.  Marshall has always been my surname.

He'd have been at WRBC when he was just 18.  I didn't begin my career 'til I was 20.  [T'was because of my attending college.  I did campus radio when I was 19 but I don't count it as there was no salary involved]

Not to derail the thread but... (the American) Lee Marshall started an AM oldies station in Ventura, California in the last few years of his life.  They played the most awesome mix of well-known and not-so-well-known 1950s and 60s rock and roll, R&B, and doo wop.  The whole thing seemed to be Marshall's baby, possibly his semi-retirement project.  I used to love hearing it whenever I would take a vacation to Southern California.  One of my favorite moments was pulling into the parking garage at the beach just as "Surfin' USA" hit the airwaves.  I miss that station!

The interesting thing about Rocky's book thread, is that although locked for weeks, the views just keep on rising. He'll hit his 100k views soon.

Probably for the best Rocky got locked; this'll give him time to work on getting the Vice-Presidential spot at the Republican convention next month.

I googled Rocky out of the blue to see if there were any updates on his book getting released, and found out he was just inducted into his high school’s hall of fame. I got excited when I saw that the event was livestreamed, but it turns out Rocky was a no-show to the ceremony. I had to do a lot of fast-forwarding around, but in case any wants to see his induction, it’s at about 1:25:27 in this video: http://www.nfhsnetwork.com/events/newark-memorial-high-school-newark-ca/7a4bf53f21.

Thanks, BD. Whatever else, it's a fascinating glimpse into another world. "Rocky ... basically ended up being a bodyguard for the group The Beach Boys" (1:29:35).

Whoah. Like 99% of Locky's fb friends are women! Did he think he made an OkCupid account by mistake?

Update from the hell that is Rocky Pamplin’s Facebook page: He claims that he signed a publishing contract for his book and that he has booked an appearance on Ellen (yeah the f*** right). Apparently the book is due in two months? We’ll see. Apparently the movie adaption is coming along as well. Fantasy land.
