OBSESSION OF THE WEEK - It's nice to occasionally use this space to give props to the little guy (and I'm not referring to last week's ''Obsession'' who called me all sorts of horrible names). So here's a tip for people visiting New York City and looking for something a bit off the beaten path to do. Ron Colinear (a.k.a. Bobby Pin) runs Rock Junket, a company that specializes in walking tours that showcase some of the people and places that made NYC rock 'n' roll history. This is the type of stuff you won't see on your double-decker tour buses: the building that serves as the cover of Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti; the stoop and bar where the Rolling Stones hung out in the ''Waiting on a Friend'' video; the former locations of CBGB's, Fillmore East, Max's Kansas City, and Andy Warhol's Factory. The company runs five different tours, including ones that just cover the Beatles and Bob Dylan, so if you want to get a taste of rock history, and do tourist stuff without looking and acting like a tourist, this could be good call. I suppose I could tell you more about the different tours, but why do that when I can just be lazy and direct you to the site instead? Which I believe I will do right now: www.rockjunket.com
