LONG GONE ! SO WHAT NOW ?

2009-07-06T17:10:00.005-05:00

Gone but not forgotten is one great ball park.Childhood memories back to even
my first Football game vs. the Packers on Turkey Day. I think we lost back then
too.From my days of watching Norm Cash ,Mark The Bird, till the later stars
of the 90's.Concerts too. The EAGLES, ROD STEWART,ELTON JOHN,KISS,ALICE IN CHAINS,and even Detroit's own SPONGE.Countless Openning Day's with the RIFF
WOW, I could go on-and -on....

But what now? as we look at a pile of rubble that could have been saved.
Let's see how long it takes for something to happen (my guess is 5-10 years)
There are so many great buildings (Like the Wurlitzer Build.)in detroit that just sit vacant for many many years now.What makes us think The corner of Michigan & Trumble is gonna change anytime soon.
Looking at our own Detroit City Council and what's been going on , Mayor changes
Police CHief changes, I donrt forsee any changes soon. Its a shame too,I kinda felt
we were on a roll for a bit with the Super Bowl,NCAA tourny,Air races,Tigers in the World Series, The LIONS ......er The LIons..........well skip that,This is the year
will start it up in the Fall...worst to First? .......
I just wished we really would have a concrete plan for the future before
we just wreck and wait.I'm just like the rest of you....waitting.......so
come'on Detroit Let's Do something........anything!

When I lived in Indiana for a little time starting my radio career . The Buzz was this local artist 80's pop singer Henry Lee Summer.... well he was arrested on Tuesday in Indianapolis for obstruction of justice and resisting arrest!

Summer, known for his Top 20 hit from 1986, I Wish I Had a Girl (Who Walked Like That), was pulled over by police for not using his turn signal. Before coming to a complete stop, cops saw Summer chuck his drugs out the car window!

So smart!

The meth-head was so off his rocker that police had to pepper spray that bitch to get him to calm down!

Summer was released from jail on Wednesday and is awaiting his May 12th trial.

" FLU FIGHTERS"

2009-04-28T21:07:00.004-05:00

OMG!

RUN TO THE HILLS!

Swine flu is running wild ...trust me if anyone is gonna catch this ..its gonna be ME.

"SWINE FLU" the name of the virus spreading from Mexico is affecting their business, prompting U.S. officials to argue for changing the name from swine flu.

Please refer to the flu as the "H1N1 virus."

"This is not a food-borne illness, virus. It is not correct to refer to it as swine flu because really that's not what this is about

Israel has already rejected the name swine flu, and opted to call it "Mexico flu." Jewish dietary laws forbid eating pork.

The Paris-based World Organization for Animal Health also objected to the name, saying the virus contains no pig so far has been found ill with the disease.

Just think of the Pig farmers that will be affected by this . No pork bans are in affect at this time .

The Real Flu is company's sending our U.S. Jobs to Mexico . This Has infected all of us around here for years!

CasinoPeru.com.pe has posted a three-minute report on KISS' April 5, 2009 concert at the Quilmes Rock festival in Argentina in front of 65,000 fans at the sold-out River Plate Stadium in Buenos Aires. Watch the clip below.

KISS' upcoming U.S. and Canadian tour will be the world's first to put fans in charge of where their favorite artist plays. By partnering with Eventful, the leading social media company for events, fans will "Demand" where KISS will perform on their latest trek across the top-voted North American markets beginning this September. No matter where the fans say — from stadiums to cornfields — if there are enough votes, KISS will be there! And in order to keep the competition fair for smaller cities, final site selection will weigh population size versus total votes.

Today at the zero hour of exactly 3:00 p.m. EDT, an official video announcement by the band's Paul Stanley, Eric Singer, Tommy Thayer and Gene Simmons (see video at KISSonline.com) kicks off this first-ever promotion. Immediately following the video's debut run, fans across the U.S. and Canada can cast their votes at www.eventful.com/KISS to have their town included on the KISS 2009 North American tour. Fans will be able to vote, and check the tally of what cities are in the lead, 24/7 across the Web at the previous sites; as well as on KISS' MySpace and Facebook, Ticketmaster's KISS page, VH1Classic.com, and many more.

' FELLOW BARTENDER NEEDS OUR HELP"

2009-02-06T01:06:00.002-05:00

You Might know Mike DeRidder. He's one of the bartenders at TNT's. Mike need our help.
Mike's house burned down to the ground back on January 30th. He lost everything in the fire, which isn't a big deal to him, as much as the fact that he lost his dog in the fire. It breaks my heart to say this. He was telling me that his dog never wandered into the basement prior, but that's where the firefighters found her. She must have been scared, and that was the only place that she could get to. Again, Mike wasn't as bummed about losing everything as much as he was broken up about see the firefighters carry his dog out, which he saw. Really sad.

The crew at TNT's has put together a benefit for Mike. Its happening this Sunday at TNT's (15 and Harper, of course). Doors are at 4PM. Its $10 to get in, and that includes pizza, salad, munchies and the like. There will be live rock from Overtow, and I'll be spinning before and after the band. In addition, there's going to be a silent auction and 50/50. All proceeds from everything go to Mike.

Mike is currently in school to be a firefighter himself, ironically. Everyone that knows him knows that he would give the shirt off of his back to anyone in need. We gotta support him.

2008-11-10T23:17:00.003-05:00

" Well , screamin's in the market for a house.Seems everyone is saying
"ITS A BUYERS MARKET" .......well it is sorta,This search started a year
ago, and boy let me tell you...its not as easy as it seems.There is a lot
of %!$@#in hoops to jump thru to get from point A to point B. The house
in my sites is not a bad one ,but a great find,.....just needs alittle work
And when you go to buy a house it seems everyone has their hands on your wallet.
But it hasn't been all bad,My realtor Fran is an Angel and other Helpers
Patti,Eric,Steve and my all around friend Bad TOMMY have been a Godsend.
But here's the Latest road block .......When you buy a House that's been
Unoccupied they Winterize it .....so everything's been shut off. Including
the LOO,Watercloset..the Pooper shed. Well after the Electric was turned on the
other day , I guess the Electric company decided to leave me their calling card
.....a present, they Drop'd the Lions at the Superbowl!
Thankxz gang.....I'll remember that one.

That's your update...I'll keep you posted on what comes next....maby someone
will leave their calling card in my mailbox...LOL

When Kid Rock appears at Pala Casino on Wednesday, September 17, his dressing room requires a clothes rack with 12 hangers, a bottle of shampoo, a bottle of hair conditioner, a pack of white crew socks, a pack of white T-shirts (“size medium with pocket”), a pack of white boxer shorts (“Fruit of the Loom or Hanes”), a pack of white tank tops (“size large A-Line”), a toothbrush, a pack of Tums, and a tube of ChapStick.Expected munchies include a large bag of pretzels, a large bag of Tostitos, a large bag of Munchos, a can of cheese dip, a tray of shrimp cocktail and sauce, a can of assorted mixed nuts, and a quart of potato salad (“chilled”). Drinks: a six-pack each of grape soda, orange soda, and Hawaiian Punch, and a half gallon of “vitamin D milk.”Each truck driver and bus driver gets a sandwich (“no turkey”), fruit (“a piece”), chips, and candy. “Three of these sandwiches must be peanut butter and jelly.” (from thesmokinggun.com)
