I've written about my brother, Mickey, who was named after Mickey Mantle.
Now someone else has written about him after his headline appearance at a Maguire's in Queens, which remains a big part of the Newsday circulation area. (Of course, the earth is our circulation area in the age of the Internet, but you know what I mean.)
I'm not quite sure how Mickey's "man band" got its name, "Rusty Chicken," but perhaps he can fill us in.

and you were named after...
Bob Turley?
Bobby Schantz?
Bob Grim?
Bob Cerv?
Bobby Del Greco?
Bobby Brown?
"It ain't the heat, it's the humility".
Never asked.
I did have a pair of Bobby Hull skates as a kid, though.
And I did once get Hull's autograph before a Rangers-Chicago playoff game. I got so pissed at him for getting into a fight with Orland Kurtenbach that I erased it.
(Yes, I was an idiot.)
Now THAT'S funny.
Wow...what a surprise...you have a brother that is a "musician"...
You've written about your daughters...your wife...your mom
Bob..are there any actual MEN in your family?
Is LaMonica your main male role model?
My guess is that you know approximately how many days til mini-camp, but I bet you EXACTLY how many days til the next season of American Idol starts
Hookslide - I'll admit it. You are funnier than Black N Gold (slightly) but you're an idiot and you should be banned from the blog.
Bob, thanks for the posting, the other guys in the bad got a kick out of it.
It's true, I am named after "the Mick" but originally, I was gonna be named "James" (hmmm Jimmy Glauber, nice ring to that.) but my brother's convinced the folks to go with "Mick"
The band name origination is pretty boring. The actual rusty chicken (shown above) is a 3 foot piece of metal porch sculpture that our keyboard player's wife bought. We like to goof on them about it ("you paid HOW MUCH for a rusty chicken?")
Anyway, it just sounded cool as a band name but please ...DO NOT look up the definition of Rusty Chicken on www.urbandictionary.com
Anyway, Hookslide, I will let your insults go. You obviously have issues. Probably stemming from a bad experience at summer camp with a pimply-faced counselor and some friendship lotion.
Sorry.
I messed up signing the previous blog post.
Bob's Bro Mick
Thanks for chiming in, BBM.
As usual, Hookslide brings the conversation down to a level that is sophomoric at best and idiotic at worst. It's a wonder I let him guest blog.
I'd be reluctant to ban him altogether, because he does throw some good lines in there - in between juvenile comments - and he's especially entertaining during football season.
I'm pretty sure Black N Gold would love to have me ban him, since he has taken his name in vain. But B N G has his Penguins to worry about, so I'm assuming he won't mind Hook's continued participation in this otherwise upstanding blog.
Oh, and one more thing, BBM. Call your mother!!
Glad we got the explanation, I thought the name was related to that monstrosity on the side on the road out in eastern Suffolk.
Hey Bob's Brother Mick....
I got yer friendship lotion right here....
Never mind what happened to me at Camp Wannatutchmee
How did you know about that anyway?
Leave the clever writing to your brother Bob and stick to singing or whatever it is that you do.
You wanna ban me?
puh-leeze
Hey BBM,
Does the Chicken have a lick or two in it for the Marriott for an hour and a half June 20th? 6-730PM
NIMBY's
Your brother has my e-mail.

Thanks...can't do the 20th....
we are playing a house party on the 21st and have to practice with a sub guitar player and drummer on the 20th.
Love the wording of your comment.
Another night?
What's NIMBY's...is that in the Marriott next to the Mausoleum?
