Robert Michael "Bob" Sirott (born August 9, 1949), an American broadcaster, is a news anchor at WFLD-TV in Chicago and radio host at WGN-AM.

Sirott grew up in the Albany Park neighborhood on Chicago's North Side. He began working as a page for NBC in Chicago in 1966, while a senior in high school. He graduated from Theodore Roosevelt High School in Chicago in 1967, then earned a bachelor's degree from Columbia College Chicago.

Sirott began his career in radio as a summer vacation fill-in disc jockey for WBBM-FM in 1961 before moving to WLS (AM) in 1973. He was a top disc jockey at WLS from 1973 until 1980. Sirott shifted to television in 1980, taking a job at WBBM-TV. After five years at WBBM, Sirott took a job with the CBS newsmagazine West 57th, although the network allowed him to remain based in Chicago.

Sirott left West 57th in 1988, telling the Chicago Sun-Times in an article that ran on December 22, 1987: "If ('West 57th') were more of a personality-oriented show, and if I had the opportunity to do some live things, I'd be able to withstand it longer. But it's just been too difficult for me to work in this system with 25 different producers and not have hands-on control over my own pieces."

Marianne Murciano (Sirott) co-hosted a morning program called "Fox Thing in the Morning" on Chicago's Fox affiliate from 1993–97, with husband, Bob Sirott. In 2005 Murciano conducted some co-interviews with Sirott for Chicago Tonight.[1][2]

David Bowie ( /ˈboʊ.i/ BOH-ee; born David Robert Jones on 8 January 1947) is an English musician, actor, record producer and arranger. A major figure for over four decades in the world of popular music, Bowie is widely regarded as an innovator, particularly for his work in the 1970s. He is known for his distinctive voice and the intellectual depth and eclecticism of his work.

Bowie first caught the eye and ear of the public in July 1969, when his song "Space Oddity" reached the top five of the UK Singles Chart. After a three-year period of experimentation he re-emerged in 1972 during the glam rock era with the flamboyant, androgynous alter ego Ziggy Stardust, spearheaded by the hit single "Starman" and the album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Bowie's impact at that time, as described by biographer David Buckley, "challenged the core belief of the rock music of its day" and "created perhaps the biggest cult in popular culture." The relatively short-lived Ziggy persona proved merely one facet of a career marked by continual reinvention, musical innovation and striking visual presentation.
