Today in Rock (Mar 31) and I’m going to miss YCW tomorrow..
Work has me going far far away, our of the reaches of the P&YR show tomorrow morning so I’ll miss the debut of YCW but I’ll try to catch a webcast when I’m back to post the question, answer, and prizes.
And now, today in rock.
- 1954 – Gee by Crows, claimed by many to be first genuine rock-and-roll hit, peaks at No. 6 on US R&B chart.
- 1960 – Angus Young (AC/DC) was born.
- 1967 – Robert Plant releases second pre-Led Zeppelin solo single, “Our Song”.
- 1973 – Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon hits UK LP chart.
- 1983 – “Beat It“, by Michael Jackson – which features a blistering Eddie Van Halen guitar solo – is premiered on MTV. Its high-energy fusion of rock and soul drives it to the top of the charts.
- 1995 – Selena, the Latin superstar is shot and killed by her former personal assistant and former president of her fan club, who had earlier been dismissed for embezzlement.
Paul’s Test
I decided to take Paul up on his challenge.
I went onto my Blockbuster.com account and I moved the Quantum of Solace to the top of the list. I just returned my 3 movies this morning (they should be received tomorrow or on Monday). I’ll see when I get it in.
(I went with Blockbuster because you can either pay more for in-store exchanges (free) or for regular price exchange them in the stores for $1.99.)
Ashley Madison web site
Personally I think the website is immoral and it is something I would never do nor go to it.
BUT
My way of protesting this is that I am not going to go to the site nor am I going to take advantages of their services. I’m an adult I can make my own decisions. Honestly, there is enough idolizing of unethical acts in the media today so why is everyone jumping on this one site? They didn’t cause the infidelity and if someone is going to cheat – they are going to cheat. As it was said, learn to talk to your partner / spouse.
Quit with the knee-jerk reaction people are having. “I’m never going to listen to P&YR again”, “I’m never going to listen to Clear Channel anymore” etc… grow up and be an adult. If you’re really that upset about it then go out and start your own website helping people build their relationships and compete with Ashley Madison. Quit being crybabies and start acting like an adult.
Clear Channel has P&YR on to make them money and they do this though advertisers. This site wants to make money so they figured advertising on P&YR would reach the most people for their buck. Everyone has a right to do what they’re doing and WE have the right to either go to the site, ignore them, or compete with them.
HarryOki – should he stay or should he go?
I’ve set up a poll on the forums so people can voice their opinions!
The Return of You Can’t Win
They announced on the show today that You Can’t Win will be back on April 1 (and it wasn’t an April fool’s joke).
“Dead Shot” interview
I have to say, that interview was great, especially the “him vs. the air craft” part. 250 shots vs. 1 shot.
That deserves a plug on this site. 
To all the complainers out there..
I guess there have been some people claiming that question #6 was unfair and it wasn’t worded correctly.
Personally, I think you’re just mad because you didn’t win “You Can’t Win”. It is their game show, they can word the questions in anyway they want to. So what if it is hard, that is the point of the game and is the main reason why they have good prizes for the game, it lasts for a long time and is good advertising for the sponsors. If the game was easy and only lasted a few weeks the “prizes” would only be some DVDs, a couple of concert tickets, and maybe some CDs.
But, if you still don’t like it – get your own sponsors, your own radio show, and start your own game show.
WE HAVE A WINNER!!!
Today we had a winner for You Can’t Win – Bobby.
The answer to question #7:
Refrigerators – (Refrigerator Perry was a guest star on the A-Team)
This show only last 94 days – hopefully season 14 will be back quickly!
