Happy New Year

2011-01-01T07:53:00.000-08:00

Started the afternoon by heading to the fireworks stand and getting my best laugh of thd day when Jakob asked the man at the counter for Dynamite;)...a little too much red dead redemption I guess. We started selecting individual items but ended up going with the big party pack because it looked like you would get more for your money.

Fireworks-CHECK!

we headed to the Wallace Lake Dam in Shreveport, Louisiana for our fireworks fun. I also took my gun and fired off a round..Jakob had never seen someone fire a real firearm, and you could tell he didn't realize it would be so loud.

Last year Jakob was all about lighting everything, this year, he didn't want to light anything..he wanted me to put on the whole display. It was very windy out by the lake and lighting those fireworks was a real challenge, I had one little lighter and could never really tell if I was running out of lighter fluid or if it was just too windy to keep a good flame on the lighter so I started a small fire, and lowered each one's fuse just low enough to ignite it and after it was lit I would sit it on flat rock. No wonder Jakob kept running away from the scene, sometimes the lit fuse was so short that as I slapped the fireworks down on that rock it would fall over and start shooting flaming balls straight at us....that was actually pretty fun hahaha

We went home, and on the way I started receiving texts from Erica. Then her mom, Linda called me asking if I would mind bringing him by sometime during the weekend.The way it was adding up it looked as if Erica wanted her mom to watch Jakob, while we went out for new years ever....long story short-she stood me up,again- but did text me to say she was just in a bad mood and didn't want to ruin my day, so she decided she was just going to go out for a mimosa with her mom...
She's full of stories.

I asked Jakob what he wanted to do for the rest of the night and gave him a few options like Movies, Bowling, Skating etc. and he chose Skating. By this time I had a few drinks in me and figured I should call a cab, so we jumped in a taxi and headed to Hot Wheels skating palace at 3000 Old Minden road in Bossier City. They were having an all night skate and it was fifteen dollars each just to get in the door. We rolled around the rink one time and nearly killed each other and a few other skaters...Roller Skating is not like riding a bike,It doesn't just come back to you. I used to be a decent skater, this was painful and with a packed floor full of teenagers, laughing their ass off at you, I decided Jakob and I should stick to the game room.

I knew it was new years eve and Taxi's would be hard to come by. I was right. None of the taxi's we called ever showed up. We waited for hours. We decided to start walking home at 3am. Thankfully, it wasn't too cold. I tried and tried to hail taxi's from Airline drive to Barksdale blvd...to no avail...Then the cops came..

Me and a 5 year old...Bossier City PD. This was weird..this was awkward. They asked a bunch of questions about what was going on at 3am and if Jakob was my son..They offered us a ride home..we jumped in the back of the Police Cruiser and it was the tightest space you have ever seen in your life..very cramped, but they took us home! Happy New year.

Toby Keith vs. Peter Cooper

2009-04-08T08:49:00.001-07:00

Ethan Hawke might want to avoid crossing paths with Toby Keith in the near future.

The current issue of Rolling Stone has a profile of Kris Kristofferson in which actor Ethan Hawke recalled a confrontation between Kristofferson and an unnamed country singer at Willie Nelson’s 70th birthday party in 2003.

THE LIE
Before Kris goes on stage Toby warns him about performing the "lefty" stuff, Kris Kristofferson shot back with,What the F*&%# did you just say to me?" Toby seemed confused so he answered "What?" ..maybe not knowing Kris Kristofferson was once an Army officer...and that's when Kristofferson totally laid into him, saying "You ever worn your country's uniform? You heard the question. You just don't like the answer. Have you ever served your country?" "The answer is no, you have not. Have you ever killed another man? Have you ever taken another man's life and then cashed the check your country gave you for doing it? No, you have not> So shut the f*&%# up!"

Keith recalls rehearsing his song “I’ll Never Smoke Weed With Willie Again” at the Beacon Theater for Nelson’s birthday concert.

“And as soon as I was done, they said somebody’s gonna speak — and I don’t remember if it was Robert DeNiro or Bill Clinton — and they said, I think, Ray Charles is on his way to the venue. Well, I had never seen Ray, so we went out and stood in the empty chairs, and [one of the members of Aerosmith] said, ‘I ain’t gonna miss this.’ … ZZ Top may have come out and watched that, too. … They led Ray on from the right side and Leon Russell was on the left and Willie was in the middle. I stood and watched Willie cry. Of course Ray, couldn’t see him, but Willie cried the whole time, and Ray played and they sang. The whole thing got quiet in there, and it was really mysterious and touching, like nothing you ever saw.”

Fast Forward to Sunday's Academy Of Country Music Awards...Toby Keith came backstage and looked at Tennessean reporter Peter Cooper and growled "Are you Peter?" To his credit, Cooper admits he is and Keith just glares at him and goes back up on stage.

Rewind again...Toby Keith is at a party earlier and he launches into how he hopes Cooper is backstage tonight because he's seriously pissed at what Cooper wrote about the country superstar. In a nutshell, Ethan Hawke wrote a long piece in Rolling Stone about Kris Kristofferson and how amazing he is. No dispute there. Hawke then recounts the incident at Willie Nelson's birthday party/concert at Madison Square Garden in 2003. According to Hawke, Kristofferson, really calls out the singer and slays him in front of folks like Ray Charles and Norah Jones.

The only clue Hawke gives is that the singer has a hit out about bombing America's enemies at the time (actually, that song was a few years previous). Cooper praises the piece and says he's not going to disclose the country singer either, but says it "rhymes with Moby Teeth."

Cut back to the press room. We see Cooper; warn him that Keith is looking for him. He's already written a piece about how it apparently didn't happen that will run in Monday's paper.

We all start asking Keith questions. Cooper, incredibly, raises his hand. Keith stares him down and lets him start, but quickly cuts him off and asks him if he's nervous. Cooper's voice is shaking a little. Cooper says he's alright. For the next seven minutes, he reams Cooper-he never raises his voice, but he's like a caged tiger and looks like he wants to leap off the stage and go for the jugular. He tells Cooper, "I'm not f*&%# okay" being in the same room with him. "You ran something s****y, you're in default. I'm struggling being here with you in the room. Ethan Hawke reported a fictitious story about me, Kris and Willie. You ran it and took it to supersize French fries and now you have to answer [for] it."

Cooper keeps his cool. He says he's heard from Kristofferson and will be running a story saying it looks like the Hawke story never happened.

Keith isn't appeased and says to Cooper, "You've never s*&%# in your f***ing ass like you have right now. Do you want to ask me another question?"

At this point, perhaps to put Cooper out of his misery, Robin Leach tries to ask a question to defuse the issue. Keith ignores him. Leach has less significance at this moment than a gnat buzzing around the room. "It was a fictitious, f***ing lie," Keith says of what Hawke wrote. "He didn't call me by name...because he didn't want to deal with the aftermath...you took the story and ‘Moby Teethed' it." Keith goes on to say that Cooper basically "f***ed" him. Cooper, who never loses his cool, very calmly brings up Kristofferson's email and says he was asked to write about the Kristofferson Rolling Stone piece and did so. That's about to be his fatal flaw. Keith pounces and says "Who supersized it?"

Cooper says, "I take responsibility for that."

And Keith backs down for a split second. He then goes back in for the kill-and the real crux of the matter for every one of us journalists in the room.

Keith looks at Peter and says, "Why did you not call me, or Kris or Willie and get a f***ing..."

At that point his publicist pulls him off the stage. All the air is sucked out of the room.

The Krewe Of Centaur Parade was Saturday night, February 14th. I always enjoy the Mardi Gras parades and it's really a thrill to be riding down the road in the KRMD truck listening to people cheer on their favorite radio station. I was unaware that since we were in a the truck we were not allowed to throw beads....most people didn't mind as they were cleaning up on beads and throws from the floats anyway. There were several listeners who decided to share the love by tossing some of their own beads into the KRMD truck for me and my partner to share. Check out the slide show maybe we caught you having fun Saturday night, you made it a blast for me! Thank-You!

American Idol

2009-01-14T07:38:00.000-08:00

I grew up just north of Kansas City, Mo and when I heard they were holding auditons for American Idol the same week I was home on vacation, I thought it would be fun to "Crash" the auditions and get a little behind the scenes video. If you have seen the promos on FOX you can even see me in one of them if you squint really hard and don't blink because it goes by really fast...I'm next to the flagpole.(It's the only way I knew where to look). I was not there to audition ...or sing anyway, but while I was there I got to talking to one of the producers and she asked me to do a line for the show. There were a lot of different takes that did not make it to air from the Kansas City show like the video below,and several other bits they spent 2 hours getting the crowd to participate in..We were asked to do several takes on, "Kansas City Rocks" "Welcome Back To Kansas City" "Look What's Cooking In Kansas City, several countdowns from 10-1 all followed by several minutes of cheering..none of that made it..and my "American Idol, Welcome Back To Kansas City" got cut out of the show as well. It was actually a relief to know they didn't use it and make me look stupid...I'll find out February 10th if I made it onto the DVD for "W" "deleted scenes" **crosses fingers**

Divorce Settlement: I Want My Kidney Back

2009-01-12T20:11:00.000-08:00

WKRG.com

$1.5 million or his kidney back. That's the strange ultimatum a New York surgeon has given his estranged wife.

Dr Richard Batista donated his kidney to his wife Dawnell in 2001. His attorney claims that she began having an extramarital affair a couple of years after the transplant. She filed for divorce in 2005.

Dr. Batista decided to go public after four years of divorce negotations. He wants the donated kidney back, but will accept $1.5 million in compensation.

Mrs Batista and her attorney had no comment on the suit.

The couple has three children, ages, 8, 11 and 14.

The next time you visit a KRMD live broadcast, look for the guy giving me the hardest time.

Check out this cool video I filmed today at the Bonnie & Cyde Trade Days broadcast, where Charlie has bet me, a whole dollar that he can win a prize on his first try at one of those swing a sledgehammer and try to ring the bell games that you see at the fair.

Only willing to bet a buck should have been my first clue that he wasn't going to be able to swing the sledgehammer
hard enough to hit the bell on his first attempt.No matter how cocky he was about ringing that bell on the first try.
I'll be honest and say it took me 3 attempts before I hit the damn thing.But, my first try came close to the top
Charlies only attempt came close to the bottom..video goodness and the crowds reaction below.

Hero Marine Won't Get Medal Of Honor

2008-09-18T12:33:00.000-07:00

A Marine sergeant singled out by President Bush for throwing his body on a grenade to save his comrades in Iraq will not recieve the Congressional Medal Of Honor.

Sgt. Rafael Peralta, lay wounded on the floor of a house and grabbed a grenade that had been lobbed by an insurgent. He absorbed the blast with his body, dying instantly.

I'm still trying to figure out what may have played into their decision... the fact he was already wounded, maybe by friendly fire, Or that it's not a "declared war". Whether he was already wounded or not has nothing to do with the situation. He gave his life not only for this country, but for the fellow soldiers that would have been killed by the explosive. If that isn't grounds for the CMH, then noone deserves to get it. The CMH has been given to soldiers that saved other lives by carrying soldiers to saftey, allowing them to live is just as heroic. This whole matter is just supposition, that others would have jumped on the grenade..Boggles the mind.

Baggy Pants Ban "Unconstitutional," rules U.S. Judge

2008-09-17T13:30:00.000-07:00

A judge in Florida says Riviera Beach's "saggy pants" law is unconstitutional in the case of a 17-year-old who spent a night in jail for having his underwear showing.
In Shreveport, you cannot be arrested for violating the “Saggy Pants” ordinance, but you could be fined or required to perform community service. The maximum fine for a first offense is $100. In Bossier City, at Louisiana Boardwalk, they make you leave the property(It's Private Property)and if you refuse to leave, then you'll be going to jail for remaining after forbidden.

Maybe Im the crazy one here, but I think The police have more important things to do than chase young boys and girls and say 'pull your pants up. I am pretty sure millions of american soldiers fought and died so this country could be known as the "land of the free" free of oppression, freedom of speech, freedom of wearing our pants anyway or any where we want!! If I want to wear my pants half way down my butt, or half way down my head, I have the freedom to do so.

I take pictures of everything, and If I'm not taking pictures I'm shooting video...I do it because I enjoy it, not to make money. The papparazzi do it for the money and I suppose that is a different deal to the artists. As annoying as photographers can be, they do have the right to do what they do. Celebrities know this. They have chosen a very public profession. They do not have the right to destroy property. He doesn't have any children with him, he's not protecting family. Why not just completely ignore the paps like every other celebrity, It's just my opinion but I think Kanye West knows this is just a misdemeanor and he can get off with a bit of anger management and no jail time.

Sarah Palin: Heart Problems

2008-09-04T14:19:00.000-07:00

The '80s rock band Heart is not happy about John McCain's running mate Sarah Palin using their song "Barracuda" at the Republican National Convention. When the Alaska governor was a high school basketball champ, her teammates nicknamed her “Sarah Barracuda.”

"The Republican campaign did not ask for permission to use the song, nor would they have been granted that permission. We have asked the Republican campaign publicly not to use our music. We hope our wishes will be honored," the band said in a statement on Thursday.

Last week, right before McCain introduced Palin in Dayton, Ohio, he played the song "Right Now” by Van Halen. A few hours later, Van Halen’s publicist told MTV News that the hopeful was never granted permission to use the track, and had permission been sought, it would never have been granted.

This February, John Mellencamp told McCain to stop using his songs, "Our Country" and "Pink Houses," on the campaign trial. Anyway, I thought this was a great opportunity to break out the video for "Barracuda"...the song rocks and Ann was pretty hot back then...
Sarah Palin has come a long way since her Sports Reporting days.

Don LaFontaine has passed away at the age of 68.
Don passed away at around 1:50PM Monday (9/1/08).
He was the best of the best voice-over actors in the world. Going to the theater and hearing his movie trailers on the big surround sound system was worth the money regardless of whether or not the featured movie was any good. Many of you have a myspace account and it's always cool when someone adds you as a friend.

George Strait and Kenny Chesney are hanging and Kenny's got the island music going,

that and the blender...

All of a sudden George says to Kenny "take a listen to this song see what you think",

....every body wants to go to heaven.,nobody wants to go now.,

Kenny's like "that's a cool song, I like it". Next thing you know he tells his people he intends to release that song as a single on his next CD.

BUT Kenny didn't go thru the proper channels.

George also recorded the song for his latest album "Troubadour". Everyone at his record label thinks it could be a hit record,
and they also have plans to release it to radio as a single.

Once George's people heard Kenny had released the song as a single, they went nuclear.

Kenny knows what a problem he has on his hands and
has even gone to George's manager Erv Woolsey to apologize.

The suits over at George's label are focused right now on getting his latest song "Troubadour" to number one. If Troubadour hits the top ofthe Billboard Chart it will be his 57th number one song and it would break his own record of 56 number one singles. (the most in recorded music history)

After that, the label will decide whether or not to release the George Strait version of "Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven.

Meanwhile George is so PO'd that he has contacted the powers that be over at the CMA and the ACM's, to make sure come awards time that his seats are nowhere near Kenny Chesney's section.

Imagine awards night and the look on George Strait's face as he looks up at the stage as Kenny Chesney accepts his award for
"Everybody Wants To Go The Heaven"

Or if George's version of the song is released, and all the radio stations put both versions against each other on the stations "Song Wars" feature.

If this really blows up, I'm sure the Awards shows producers will be taking full advantage of this deal for ratings.

I can hear the clips from "Pure Country" now

"Go on get your ass outta here"

I'm hoping George Strait will call in for an interview soon, I can hear him now ...and don't ever play shiftwork again either! %##@@!*%

Everybody Wants To Go Heaven No. 6 After 3rd Week of Release
Chesney's Lucky Old Sun Lead Single Is Blazing – Album October 14

Nashville: When Kenny Chesney drops new music, it's always cause for excitement. With his Poets & Pirates tour winding down - two weekends from what will no doubt be the party of the year in Indianapolis' Lincoln Oil Stadium, the fans are in a full-boil over the Luttrell, Tennessean's laidback kind of country.

Add to the mix brand new music that is so classically Kenny, like his Oct. 14th street date Lucky Old Sun with its lead single, “Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven,” and watch Chesney go to #6 on the Billboard Country Singles chart three short weeks after add date.

“It's a song that really is everything my fans like, live, love, breath,” laughs the high energy entertainer who knows how to chill out whenever possible. “I look around and I see people who know how to have a good time, and they do it every chance they can. These are good people, living good lives - and of course they wanna go to heaven… But they just wanna have a few more good times here on earth before they do.”

Mining the notion of redemption not being opposed to fun-living, “Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven” merges the fundamental notion of religion that grounded Chesney's “I Go Back” with the good timing reality of “When The Sun Goes Down,” “No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems” and “Never Wanted Nothing More.”

Named for the Tin Pan Ally standard that served as Chesney's first recording with the legendary Willie Nelson, Lucky Old Sun is slated for a deluxe edition release on October 14th. That will be followed by a conventional music only version in-stores on Oct. 21.

“I know this is a really fun song,” Chesney concedes, “and there is a bunch more like it on this record. But this is an album that goes deeper, gives the fans a clearer picture of who I am right now, I feel and how I got here. If Be As You Are was more of a road trip to the places I drink beer in the islands, this is more how the islands - and anywhere there's coast, really, Mexico, Florida, Virgin Islands, the Pacific Coast Highway in California - have shaped who I'm becoming.”

As the Corona Extra sponsored Poets & Pirates Tour winds down, Chesney is finishing off quite a chapter in his life. Logging his 15th straight chart-topper with the multiple week #1 “Better As A Memory,: Chesney is looking at his seventh straight summer of selling in excess of a million tickets… and being a pivotal force in seeing the 23rd Farm Aid Concert sell-out on the day tickets went on sale.

“This is a good time for this music,” Chesney says. “I'm at a place in my life where the things I was figuring out with Just Who I Am were ready to be realized on a record. I'm very grateful my label was able to help me release it now… as it's a record that reflects where I am in this moment.”

The Burger King employee who took a bath in the Kitchen Sink is now in a Six Flags commercial. After all the bad publicity Burger King recieved it looks as if the suits at BK have made the best of a bad situation by teaming up with Six Flags to make fun of Mr. Unstabl3 in this spot for Six Flags.

Burger King Bath Guy

2008-08-15T08:55:00.000-07:00

It started as a birthday joke. An employee at a Burger King restaurant near Dayton, Ohio apparently decided to follow the restaurant's motto to "have it your way" and filmed himself as he took a bath in the fast food restaurant's big kitchen sink.
The worker, 25-year-old Timothy Tackett, who describes himself on his YouTube page as "Mr. Unstabl3," is seen in the video shirtless and apparently pantless as he bathes himself in the soapy waters of the sink.
At one point in the video, the camera operator takes the camera to the front counter of the restaurant where a manager or supervisor appears to be counting the money for the day. The camera operator explains that the employee is taking a naked bath but the person counting the money does not move.
A spokesperson for Burger King told the Associated Press that two employees involved in the incident were fired and another quit. Meanwhile, the sink had to be scrubbed and cleaned and inspected by health department officials. The restaurant also said it threw away all of all kitchen tools and utensils used in the video.
