ROD WHO?

One of my many ideas for a cool album cover concept was to issue an LP with the title "Rod Who?" in bold lettering. Featured would be some of the many famous 'Rods' and 'Rodneys' from popular culture. Like many of my ideas, it never came to fruition. Yet the kernel of inspiration has remained... tucked away in a file drawer somewhere inside my brain.

Here are a few that might have been included in such a project:


Legendary comedian Rodney Dangerfield



Rock hero Rod Stewart



Noted actor Rod Steiger



TV icon Rod Serling from 'The Twilight Zone'



Rodney D. Ice, Professor of Pharmacology in Oklahoma



Child star Rodney Allan Rippy



Rod Piazza of The Mighty Flyers



Television evangelist Rod Parsley



Rod Morgenstein, drummer for The Dixie Dregs, The Steve Morse Band, and Winger



Rod McDonald, folksinger



Rod Woodson, veteran NFL athlete



Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich
