  Wild and wacky week, but hey! THEME week! So I suppose that makes it okay. Tonight we featured Abi's home state of MICHIGAN and talked about all those killer Classic Rock stars it has produced over the years, (yep... even gave a little love to Motown because, dude, it's MOTOWN). What did you miss if you didn't tune in live?
  
  (So glad you asked...)
  
  
  THE TUNES:
  "Detroit City" by Alice Cooper
  "Signed, Sealed Delivered" by Stevie Wonder
  "Fly By Night" by Rush
  
  ABI'S CLASSIC ROCK NEWS:
  - Black Sabbath's name is being used and abused a lot right now. Word to mechandise people- make sure you have the RIGHTS TO USE A BAND'S NAME before you actually DO SO, mm'kay? Thanks. Also, keep your eyes peeled for an upcoming horror movie series to be titled- you guessed it- BLACK SABBATH. The band won't be on screen, but hey. Still pretty rockin'.
  - SPINAL TAP borrowed STYX drummer Todd Sucherman (and miraculously returned him in one piece!) for both Jimmy Fallon's Late Show *and* Jon Stewart's Daily Show this week. At the time of our broadcast the appearances were still upcoming, but they've passed now... BUT! If you still want to check it out, take a peek via YouTube here for the Late Show and here for the Daily Show.
  - Sad 8 year old AC/DC fan is screwed over by "Canada's Biggest AC/DC Fan" contest. We ripped the organizers for... makin' small kids cry. Seriously. Like stealing candy from an... 8... year... old.
  - The man who assaulted another at an Alice Cooper concert with his artificial leg (seriously... can't make this stuff up, folks)... will not be charged.
  
  FUN AND GAMES:
  - Abi quizzed my fiance Packy on Michigan classic rock and, uhhh, yeeeeah. Things got better when I became his "Phone a Friend" *and* "Poll the Audience" life lines. Love you, honey.
  
  KAY'S CLASSIC ROCK NEWS:
  - Paul McCartney rocked us here in New York City, yes he did. And I... wasn't there. Grrrr. But our pal Lizzy *was* there and we played a leftover clip from her interview last week. She told us all about her amazing ticket-snagging ways- 18th row center! DAYUM.
  - I've made no bones about the fact that I disliked Michael Jackson. Still, I never expected him to pass away so suddenly and tragically. I'm sick of the media eating up every tidbit of Jackson news and think they should leave his poor kids the hell alone, so this was my final news update on Jacko.
  - The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25th Anniversary concerts have been set for this October in NYC at Madison Square Garden. It hasn't been 25 years yet by MY math... but whatever. Enjoy the concerts, everyone!
  
  BIRTHDAYS THAT ROCK:
  - Geddy Lee (Rush)
  
  UNDER THE COVERS:
  - Abi picked a fascinating cover of Bob Seger's "Fire Down Below". Who's covering it? BETTE MIDDLER. Seriously. Check it out.
  
  
  Tune in next week as we're doing a special tribute to the greatest songwriting teams of Classic Rock. Yep. We're calling it "Rocking... Bromance" mostly because... well... it makes us giggle. We'll keep it clean, though.
  
  Or, well, as clean as *we* get. ;-)
  
  See you Sunday at 6!
