@BlueMeanieBWO Thanks for sharing that. It shows what a gracious man Pierre always was. He was kind & funny & always had time for people. Feeling it here in Sydney, far from Philly now, but playing Alice's Restaurant on repeat on this beautiful afternoon. RIP
Thank you, Annie. It’s clear you were/ will always be a huge Pierre Robert fan. When we all meet in the next life, I will make sure you finally get that picture with him.
@BenFordhamLive Seriously? This is what you are worried about? You must have a pretty amazing life if this is the kind of stuff that bothers you. Drama much?
@noturavghoodrat He was a wonderful guy. I'll be blasting Alice's Restaurant in Sydney on Thanksgiving for Pierre. We always listen and play it loud, but this year I want Pierre to be able to hear it. 🎙️🎶
@DaveSharma Guess you haven't had a look around the world. The price of everything everywhere is going up. Maybe stop navel gazing and blaming and look around. What do you plan to do?
Today we lost a great friend. Someone who truly LOVED music. All types of music. Someone who loved musicians. Not just famous ones, or chart toppers. He admired local artists and tomorrows rising stars.
This man was as curious as he was clever, he was a real musicologist. He knew your influence and your influences.
He was a loyal friend. He didn’t care if you were the fad or the fashion of the moment. He just cared.
And that mattered.
I’ve often talked about the loneliest man in showbiz.
The DJ, someone who preached the gospel of the song to anyone who would listen.. this man was also very in touch with his humanity.
His voice helped the hungry and the homeless, and he did it because he cared..
About you, about me, about making the world a little kinder wonder filled place to live.. his memory will live with us as it will with all of the people he touched.
That man is Pierre Robert
The legendary DJ at WMMR
In Philadelphia..he passed away in his sleep last night.
The station was lucky to have him on the air. We were all lucky to have him as a guide to his musical galaxy
And I was lucky to have him as a friend..
Thank you Pierre..
Godspeed,
JBJ
