This past weekend I took part in a charity event honoring Casey Kasem and benefitting the Fenton Community & Cultural Center.

What a great man! An american icon of the 70’s and 80’s. He pretty much created syndication and “the Tease”. He was a nationaly known DJ before shock jocks ,reality tv and addiction to celebrity news. Who hasn’t listened to Casey count em down at some point in their lives. I was impressed by his genuine concern and interest in others. When I had a chance to talk to him, he seemed more interested in me and my career, than me stroking him about his  acheivements.  Wow!

Casey Kasem is from Detroit and aside from a phenominal radio career, was also the voice of Shaggy in Scooby Doo. That kinda blows my mind because Shaggy was such a hippie and Casey is so down to earth.

Casey was 38 when he started his countdown show, so with me in my mid 40’s maybe I still have a shot at worlwide domination of the airwaves.  Spread the word…Uncle Buck Rocks The Allnighter on WCSX!!

Danny Federici, keyboardist for the E Street Band, passed away last Thursday from melanoma. Danny had been with Bruce since 1969 and held his own in a band featuring such characters as The Big man and Little Steven. Danny brought alot of heart and soul to the E Street Band and their music.

I will miss his quiet stage presence and always  picture him in my mind off to the side with a fan fan blowing his hair and swaying to the music. I’ve been listening to alot of Bruce since I heard of Dannys passing and   have a greater appreciation for what he meant to that band.

I read a study conducted by the University of Western Ontario that claims canines and many other animals are stuck in time. They can’t tell the differance between five minutes and five hours, which could explain why dogs act happy to see their owners regardless of how long they’re gone.

Interesting…well how does that effect the ratio of dog years to human years? My life seems like it’s gone by in the blink of an eye. Not being able to comprehend time would be a great thing on long trips.

Reminds me of a bumper sticker that read…”I smoked pot for a whole month one weekend”

Opening day 2008…Here we go! Should be an exciting season with the Tigers powerhouse lineup. I hope it’s a record breaking summer that takes our minds off Kwamee and the economy.

I sometimes miss the old Tiger Stadium, obstructed view and all. The old girl had a special feel and history all it’s own. One of my prize posessions is a bleacher ticket/rain check stub with a price of $3.50 on it. Not sure what year it’s from. The bleacher creatures were an interesting crowd to say the least. Beach balls, drunks, fights and beautiful women sunning themselves were the norm out in the centerfield bleachers. 

My most memorable moments include…standing on the dugout at Michigan & Trumble and leading the crowd in “Take me out to the ballgame” during the 7th inning stretch. Another great moment was opening day in the early 90’s when I got to hangout in the grounds crew locker room and watched the game on tv with my childhood hero Willie Horton, who stopped by to say hi to the guys.   I also remember seeing Gibby hit the ball out of the park. I remember watching that ball and thinking “Holy $^!& that balls not coming down!!!”.

Opening day…hope for better days ahead. Go Get Em Boys!

When your not rockin CSX , what are you listening too? What other types of music do you like?

I grew up with 4 older siblings, the closest to me being 7 years apart, so I got exposed to alot of differant stuff. I have an appreciation for Motown and old R & B. I love a good funky James Brown Tune. I think Elvis had an incredible blend of looks, voice and charisma. I dig Sinatra…Jack! I love good harmonies and 50’s Doo Wop. I think I would have enjoyed living during the swing era. Prince did some great stuff. Rap has gone on too long. .. I find it tiresome. After Grunge I started losing touch with current rock. I really have to shuffle thru the new rock to find artists I like. I like Nickelback.  The new manufactured pop/American Idol crap is just that. It bums me out.

So that’s a little of what I enjoy when I’m not rockin your requests on the Allnighter. 

Why is Madonna in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame? I don’t dispute her success or impact on music in the POP world…not Rock and Roll! I understand some artists cross over to other catagories like Blues/Rock or Rock/Country, but Madonna has always been strictly Pop/Dance music. I can’t think of one song of hers that I would even consider close to being rock and roll.

Tom Hanks did a great job of inducting the Dave Clark Five. His words gave me goosebumps as he described and brought to life the early days of rock and rock radio.

John Mellencamp was his typical defiant self. John does it his way and I respect that. He sounded great performing Pink Houses and The Authority Song.

This winter has been one of the longest I can remember. It seems as though it snows every couple days or temps are brutal. As we head into March I’m starting to look for signs of spring. Of course the Tigers are in spring training and that’s certainly a good sign of warmer days ahead. Out in the country where I live, I’m starting to smell the manure being spread in the farmers fields. I’m hearing more birds and starting to see more racoons and possoms which will lead to more road kill. ..all signs that spring isn’t far off. Just 21 days and counting. What signs of spring do you look for?

Well I have a new critter in my house…a cat named Sasha. My wife brought it home to save it from the pound. Over the years we’ve had 3 cats, but when the last one passed away my wife and I agreed …no more. As you can guess,this little surprise Kelly brought home, is not going over too well with me. We have 2 dogs (who don’t like cats) and I don’t need another mouth to feed or the extra care it will take. It’s a very loving, well behaved cat that needs a loving home. How bout yours? Let me know.

Recent thoughts…

Can’t beleive the Patriots lost the Super Bowl. I would have bet the giants with the spread but, not to win outright. I’d like to watch the game again to break it down and see what the heck was going on with the Pats offensive line. I became a New England fan this year, so I was very bummed about the loss.

I’m very proud of my son Jake, who won 1st place in the pinewood derby race this week. He has come close in previous years, so we were very happy to finally win. His car took 1st place in his cub scout den and 1st place overall in pack 212. This was his last year competing as he will move on to boy scouts next year.

I hope the current mayoral scandal is finally a message to us all that we deserve better.  I love the city of Detroit and the state of Michigan and want to see things get turned around. Other cities around the country have picked themselves up and I know we can too with good leadership.

This winter sometimes spring weather is getting on my nerves…counting the days til spring and baseball.

What’s on your mind?
