  SHOW NOTES:
  
  08/16/09 -
  
  Whew. 40 years sure does fly, doesn't it? Especially when neither you or your cohost were actually THERE for the event in question. Hehe. Whoops.
  
  Yeah. Abi & I were born in the mid-80s... waaaaay after the hippies did their 'thang in upstate, New York in the summer of '69, but we still spent our entire show tonight saluting all things WOODSTOCK!
  
  Here's the stuff you missed if you were bein' a square and missed out, dude.
  
  
  THE TUNES:
  "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band/
  With a Little Help From My Friends" by The Beatles
  "Tommy, Can You Hear Me?/Pinball Wizard" by The Who
  "White Room" by Cream
  
  KAY'S CLASSIC ROCK NEWS:
  - We lost a true guitar legend this week, Mr. Les Paul at the awesome age of 94. Talk about a full life! I don't think it's a stretch to say that without Les, we wouldn't have modern rock & roll, so we salute you sir. Rest in peace.
  - I went insane for about five minutes and ranted about COUNTRY artists Brooks & Dunn breaking up. I know... way to be waaaay off-topic, Kay. I can't help it, though. I grew up with those guys. *sniff*
  - Hard to believe, but Elvis Presley passed away 32 years ago. Damn. We miss "The King"... and his leather pants.
  - I rounded up the latest news from the world of The Beatles. Yoko is causing trouble (as always?) and Stella McCartney is being sued by Bono's wife??
  
  ABI'S CLASSIC ROCK NEWS:
  - It came as no surprise, but the boys of Aerosmith have officially called off the rest of their summer tour. We love Steven & the boys, but really... we think a good half-dozen "incidents" is God telling you to put your feet up until 2010.
  - Well, thank god. Slash & Steven Adler can breathe easier now that their mutual stalker is safely behind bars. She gets points for trying to save paper, though! Read her "lovely scribblings" HERE.
  - If you're going to be attending Rock & Roll Fantasy Camp, you have two kickass counselors! Ace Frehley of KISS and Meatloaf! Duuuude.
  - A new documentary called "It Might Get Loud" is hitting theaters. Limited release right now, but it's aiming for a wider release. Essentially, it's what happens when Jimmy Page, Jack White and The Edge get together for a mass jam session!
  
  BIRTHDAYS THAT ROCK:
  - We saluted the drumming god of CREAM- Ginger Baker!
  
  FUN & GAMES:
  - Do *you* know who played at Woodstock and who didn't? Test your knowledge!
  
  SOLDIER SALUTE:
  - Abi salutes your right to be a protester! It's true. Afterall, our country *was* founded by people who didn't agree with the government, right?
  
  
  Aaaaand, that wraps up this week! Don't miss out next week as we sit down to chat with Jim Vignato, the lead singer & founder of NYC-based STYX tribute band, ROCKIN' THE PARADISE!
  
  Catch ya next week. Dig it?
  - Kay
