I’ve decided to try out something new on this site - “Today in Rock History” where I post what’s happened on this day in the world of Rock. I won’t get into the little tidbits but events that are significant. Let me know what you think.

  • 1945 - Don McLean was born (wrote the song “American Pie”)
  • 1951 - Sting was born
  • 1985 - Bruse Springsteen’s world famous “Born in the USA” tour ends.

It is NOT Googleable but this answer is out there. What is it? I’m not going to say here. You’ll have to check out the forums. :)

About 8:20AM we will have questiuon #1 for the new season of You Can’t Win!

  • 7 day Caribbean cruise on any Ryal Caribbean cruise liner
  • Jude Frances 18K white & yellow gold earrings
  • $2000 cash from Dr. Ernie Soto (sedation dentist)
  • Season tickets ot the Dolphins
  • 1 Six pack of Bud Lime each day there isn’t a winner

This post will be updated thoughout the morning.

They cast seemed a little disappointed that the last 2-3 questions were answered “very quickly” last season.

Question #1
Oddly, this didn’t happen until the 1990s, what was it?

As for the new time, personally I’m not too overly crazy about it. Before at 7:45 I could listen before my day gets busy but now that it is at 8:20, it will be hard to keep up since most of my users start at 8.

Mancathalon?

What is it?

I guess they post a question online and then take callers to try to answer the question(s)?

They continue to ask you questions - it seems like each person can either take the money and run or try to answer the next question for more money (but if you get a question wrong then you lose all the money).

Today, the first day, was Andy.

These two JFK guys were both born today in 1946 - who are they? (Andy is going to miss it).

There will be a new question for tomorrow.

I really hope this is not replacing You Can’t Win.

Rate the last 5 decades

Posted on Sep 10, 2008 under Show Topics | No Comment

Today’s show they’re revisiting the “bar topic” over rate the last 5 decades.  Paul says that the 80s were the best. I can very well imagine that the 80s were a great time to live here in south Florida (I was in New England at the time).

I’ve opened this up for discussion on the forums (link) for people do discuss it. I’ve posted my answers - would people agree with me?

Dave Lamont - coming back (well, calling back) for a talk.

It’ll be good to hear him again.  I’m not a huge sports fan but this is one I’ll stick around for.

I agree, Dave know about as much as you can know about local and college sports.

Dave called in from Louisisana, he will be covering on ESPN classic next week and will not be doing th FAU game.  Dave is rooting for the Miami Hurricanes as a fan but the Gators as a “football” person in this week’s game in Gainesville.

 Dave’s pick the Gators by 17 points.

Dave’s call was quick but as usual, he gave some great information.
