Run, Forrest! Run! Bob must admit that Forrest Gump is one of his favorite films. That
infamous line-"Momma said, life's like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're
gonna get!"- it really struck a chord with Bob. It made sense to him the idea that you
just never know what can happen next.  A lot like BOBFM, cause, We Play Anything!

Held in March of 1987, the first SXSW event was held in Austin, where it was born and raised.
Bob explains that SXSW has become the melting pot festival for artists in tech, music, film,
comedy, and even gaming. It is a week long of conferences everyday, all day, all over Austin.
This year is bound to be absolutely epic! South By starts March 9 and goes until March 18th.
Get ready for the Pre-Spring Olympics of Traffic!

Bob Explains His 2001: It's Britney!

2001 can be summed up in one name, Britney Spears. She walked across the MTV Award stage
with a giant, slithering, snake! Bob explains that no amount of money could have convinced him
to do that. He would have gone out in her same outfit, but, just minus the python!
