The Wife happened upon this nice blog post about my late pal, KPHO-TV film critic & host Bill Rocz. The post links, at the end, to this article I wrote for New Times about Bill just after his passing.
Thanks for linking to my post about Bill Rocz, the old Hollywood Greats show, and his catalyzing effect on my love of films.
I really enjoyed reading your article about Rocz, which I discovered as I was digging around, checking facts for my post. I never had a chance to meet him, but reading your article really helped illuminate my understanding of him, especially as he faced the end of his life.
By the way, until just now, I didn't realize that the same person who wrote that article was the same guy who hosted Another Saturday Night. I used to enjoy listening to that show a great deal. Count me as a fan, and thanks again!
Many thanx for the kind words, both about me & about Bill--it would really please him, I think, to hear someone acknowledge his contribution to film-buff culture here in the Valley before the days of Netflix, etc. Thanx also for mentioning Another Saturday Night. I miss doing it. I enjoyed your piece. Count me a fan, & thanx again!
One of your best articles.
