bob ross is pop culture guru

Bob Ross was the Tampa Tribune’s film and video critic from June 1985 Bob Rossuntil April 11, 2007, when he was laid off due to budgetary constraints.

A Florida resident since 1955, Ross graduated from Ocala High School (now Forest High) and Florida Presbyterian College (now Eckerd). Before the Tribune, he worked as a news reporter, video store manager, construction worker and bookstore clerk.

As the author of about 4,500 movie reviews since ‘85 and an all-around pop culture freak (emphasis on blues and vintage rock), Ross has a vast storehouse of useless knowledge that he is always eager to share.
