  07/19/09 - Show Notes
  

  Well, Abi and I have been a bit lazy about cross-posting our show notes from our Myspace Page to here on BTR... time to correct that!

  SHOW NOTES:
  
  07/19/09 -
  
  Soooo, 80s fans... welcome to EXPOSED! We have quite a few new listeners to the show this week so I wanted to give a hello and I hope we didn't disappoint! We had an absolutely killer time interviewing Lizzy- #1 superfan of Broadway's "Rock of Ages." She gave us a lot of great insight in to what is quickly becoming one of the hottest tickets in New York, plus told us a bit about her ROA fansite "The Cry of the Strip" (http://www.thecryofthestrip.com). We presented two extended chat segments, sprinkled with a boatload of 80s nostalga.
  
  So here's the stuff we covered besides our extensive interview:
  
  
  THE TUNES:
  "Can't Fight This Feeling" by REO Speedwagon
  "Boys of Summer" by Don Henley
  
  CLASSIC ROCK NEWS:
  - Ted Nugent doesn't like Obama. But what else is new?
  - VH1 and VH1 classic showed Def Leppard some love this week. Up next? Look for a special broadcast on August 21st from Bruce Springsteen's current and highly successful WORKIN' ON A DREAM tour.
  - Aerosmith are falling apart. Owie. No sooner is Steven Tyler back in shape then Tom Hamilton is down for the count with "non-invasive surgery" complications.
  
  BIRTHDAYS THAT ROCK:
  - Don Henley (The Eagles)
  
  SOLDIER SALUTE:
  - Abi backed up to give a very well-deserved salute to a recent WWII veteran who passed away- Darrel "Shifty" Powers. Yes, his life was immortalized in 'Band of Brothers', but his death has been lost amidst the rush of recent celebrity deaths (Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, Billy Mays). Neglecting him is a real crime and we did our best to correct that tonight.
  
  
  Again, we're thrilled that so many new listeners have come over to hear our interview with Lizzy! Now, don't run away though... next week we're going to be doing our entire episode as a salute to MICHIGAN and the great rock music that has come from the state! Abi, our resident Michigander, will be taking the lead and I'll do my best to follow with my own little nod to the great legends of Motown. :-)
  
  Have a great week! See you Sunday at 6pm EST!
