In light of the passing of actor and director, Rob Reiner, I thought it would be fun to re-visit that day that both he, and Martin Sheen, dropped by my morning show on All Hit 98-9. It would have been during the 2004 presidential campaign and they were in town campaigning for Howard Dean. I grew up with "Meathead" on All In The Family, so it was pretty cool having him stand across from me in the studio. As I remember, Rob was pretty good at staying "on message" with the Howard Dean campaign. Martin, on the other hand, came BACK into the studio a few minutes after they all left so he could hang out and be a DJ. It wasn't too long before one of their security detail came into the studio and said, "C'mon Martin...we have to go." It was a great memory...and the circumstances around Rob Reiner's death are very sad. As of this writing, we don't know all the details...only that he and his wife were murdered inside their home. RIP Rob...you gave me a great memory, which I'm going to share below...
