Through the glitter and the grunge, from The Monkees to Coldplay, Rodney Bingenheimer--a.k.a. Rodney on the ROQ--has reigned over the Los Angeles music scene for over two decades. A constantly evolving fixture as rock fan, journalist, promoter, club owner and radio DJ on KROQ, Bingenheimer has helped advance every adventurous rock mutation--California pop, glam, punk, goth, new wave, alternative--since he first hit the Sunset Strip during its psychedelic 1960s heyday.

"Heroes" is a song recorded by the English musician David Bowie, written by Brian Eno and Bowie. Produced by Bowie and Tony Visconti, it was recorded in July and August 1977, and released on 23 September 1977. Inspired by the sight of Bowie's producer/engineer Tony Visconti embracing his girlfriend by the Berlin Wall, the song tells the story of two lovers, one from East and one from West Berlin. Bowie scholar David Buckley has written that "Heroes" "is perhaps pop's definitive statement of the potential triumph of the human spirit over adversity".

"Wild Is the Wind" - a composition written by Dmitry Temkin and Ned Washington. The original composition was recorded by Johnny Mathis for the film "Wild Wind", in 1957. The song was a great success and was one of the five compositions nominated for an Oscar, although the song did not win the statuette, Johnny Mathis performed it at the award ceremony of the Academy Awards in March 1958. Later, Nina Simon recorded her version of the song, for the self-titled album Wild Wind (1966). David Bowie recorded a new version of this song in 1976, for his album "Station to Station". Bowie was a fan of Simon's vocal style, and after meeting with her in Los Angeles was inspired to record this song for his record.
