I received the following email via LinkedIn on October 5th.
"Hi Rosalind,
I sent you a LinkedIn request because I'm looking for the composer of the song "Nobody Loves the Hulk," which was advertised in comic books around 1970. The composer credit says "R.L. Rogoff," and I found a website that gave the composer's full name as Rosalind Rogoff. You're the only Rosalind L. Rogoff in the country, so if you know about this song, I'd love to interview you for my music blog. If you don't know anything about it, then I'm sorry for bothering you!
Best,
Greg Adams"

Yes, I confess. I am the Rosalind L. Rogoff (the one and only apparently), who wrote and produced the record "Nobody Loves the Hulk" in 1969. But this isn't exactly something I wanted to go down in history for. It seems the old Hulk song has become a cult classic. According to Adams, who ironically is a fellow Technical Writer (we must have latent comic book genes), "Believe it or not, people are interested in this song!"
In fact he informed me that it was rerecorded by a Swedish band called, The Maggots, in 2006. My original version was recorded by The Traits, in New Rochelle in 1969. Both of these versions can be heard on Youtube.
I didn't know that my campy 1969 record had a life past 1969. I gave up reading Marvel comics when I started Graduate School at UCLA in 1972. I still have a box of Marvel Comics from the late '60s that my father sent me when I moved from New Rochelle to Los Angeles to attend UCLA.
I got hooked on Marvel Comics in 1963 when I was an apprentice at the Westport Country Playhouse and a kid from the neighborhood showed off a new comic in which the super heroes acted more like regular people. It was one of the early Fantastic Four comics. So I went out and bought a copy of it. I had all of the early Marvel comics, but my mother kept nagging me to get rid of them.
I was trying to break into the music business and wrote a few songs in the late 1960s. I couldn't get any of them published so I tried starting my own record company to produce my own songs. I planned to sell the records mail order, so I wrote songs I thought would appeal to fans of Marvel Comics.
I advertised "Nobody Loves the Hulk" in the comics in 1969 and 1970. I still have three comics with the ad in them ? The Incredible Hulk 125, Captain America 126, and The Avengers 76. Most of the other Marvels in the box are pre-1969.
In 1969 or 1970 I wrote a letter to Stan Lee asking to be elevated to the rank of FFF. That sounds almost dirty but FFF stood for Fearless Front Facer, which was the highest rank in the in the Mighty Marvel Marching Society.
Stan answered my letter on the letters page of one of the comics and officially named me a Fearless Front Facer, "An honorary title bestowed for devotion to Marvel above and beyond the call of duty." I couldn't find the issue with my letter or Stan's answer, so you just have to trust me on this one.
So now you know, I was a nerd at the level of the guys in The Big Bang Theory. In fact now that my secret identity has been revealed, I'd be willing to do a guest shot on The Big Bang Theory and even write my own dialog, but I doubt the producers read my blog or Greg's.
