Ask O'Brien

For this latest installment of 'Chris O'Brien's School of Rock' I'm kind of combining a couple of features. If you're familiar with my 'Ask O'Brien' segments you'll know that it's a place for you to ask me anything you want. Well, this latest question came in reference to the 'Professor' so I thought it would make a good episode. The question was 'What steps does the professor take to learn a new

With the holidays approaching I thought I'd tackle one of the many 'traditions-related' questions that I get now and then.  Turn on the radio or tune into television for 10 minutes and I'm sure you'll hear your fair share of holiday music.  Today's question is 'What's Your Favorite Christmas Song?'

I get tough questions asked of me from time to time.  They're tough because my answer will be different than someone else.  Today's question is another subjective one.  "Who is the Most Influential Guitarist in Rock and Roll?"

Today's question is a great one but tricky to answer.  'If you were not a dj, what profession would you be? Why?' Although I've been in radio broadcasting for 24 years and it's the only real job I've ever had, I only got into it because of my love for music.  I've been a songwriter/musician most of my life.

I received a pretty interesting ‘Ask O’Brien’ question today. I promise I won’t give the name of the sender but maybe you can figure it out.

Everyone knows I hate politics so I hesitate to even post this question but this space is for you to get to know me so, here goes.  ‘Do you think we should attack Syria?’

I received another great question the other day, but I’m not sure how to take it.  The question is ‘why did you become a deejay?’  Now, are they sincerely asking why, or are they pulling their hair out asking the Heavens ‘why, oh why, did you HAVE to become a deejay?’  I’ll go with the former.

So – opening it up to you guys to ‘ask me anything’ has been fun and interesting.  A lot of the questions that I’m getting I can’t really answer on this website because, well, let’s just say I can’t.  The question that I’ll be tackling today is worded this way; “How big is it?  Your album/cd collection?”  Okay, I can do that.

Today’s question is – "Do you consider yourself part of the 'digital world' or are you really an analog man?" Admittedly, my answer to this question makes me sound like an ‘old fogey.’  With technology comes advancement and progress, for the most part.  It can also be a double-edged sword sometimes.

I don’t know if today’s question came from my wife or my kids and they just didn’t put their name on it or if someone is trying to decide what to get the father in their life and they need ideas.  Either way, I’ll give it a shot.
