Today (3/21) is Rodger Hodgson’s 73rd birthday. The Supertramp singer visited Pierre Robert back in November of 2012 before his stop at the Keswick Theatre on his “Breakfast In America” world tour. In the WMMR studios, he treated us to stripped-down versions of “Take the Long Way Home,” “Breakfast in America,” and a song you can stream below, “Give a Little Bit.”
Hear Pierre recount that day, and listen for Roger’s special station ID before he goes into the performance.
Note: This podcast episode originally aired in April 2018.
From roughly 10:30am to somewhere around 3 (we call it Pierre Standard Time) weekdays Philadelphia rocks with (and loves) Pierre Robert on WMMR. Pierre Robert began his illustrious career at the pioneering progressive rock station KSAN, in his hometown San Francisco, but it’s through his uninterrupted 42-year tenure at Philadelphia‘s legendary WMMR that he’s made his mark. One of the city’s most recognizable celebrities will write about being at the center of its live music scene and greeting his legions of fans as if personal friends in the smallest clubs and largest stadiums.
