Here’s a “tribute to everyone’s favorite New Yorkers – Roger Clark and Pat Kiernan of NY1,” exclaimed punk band The Tracys. It’s a happy little tune about the newsmen’s on-air camaraderie — “Roger’s got the microphone/What’s he gonna do?/Pat is gonna have to see this through” — and even shouts out transit reporter Jamie Stetler (formerly “Shupak!”). NY1 just played it on the air. Pat appeared to be flattered. Roger and Pat. Roger and Pat. Roger and Pat. We love you too!
