Tomorrow Morning at 4:00 AM Channel 50 is showing Blue Lagoon, the 1980 version.) This is a little odd in a couple of ways. First, while 50 every so often show films during overnight hours I don't think they have done this in at last two years, (probably longer.) Second, they usually show a movie th...

[quote="Plate Cap"]I'm certainly no expert in any regard in paving technology, but I do recall reading that the Mackinac Bridge roadway surface, a number of years ago, was a focus of an ongoing study by asphalt industry technical groups. Lots of visits and samples were taken; apparently, it lasted W...

[quote="Calvert DeForest"]The show open with Kate McKinnon (as Hillary) playing the piano and singing [i]I Will Remember You[/i] the week after the election had me scratching my head. Actually she sang Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen who had died earlier that week, (it's a better song.) That skit left m...

One of the last times I was in LA there was a station called KNAC that kind of sounds like the station you described. I don't know long that format lasted. This was December of 1988.

[quote="TC Talks"]Pixies opening for U2 or Peter Murphy opening for Widepread Panic. Both were train wrecks. I never thought jam band hippies could heckle that well. Listening to Bela Lugosi's Dead while high sound like a scary thing to do. In general, comedians opening for rock acts is another weir...

When I saw B.O.C in 1992, (awhile past the arena years) They played Todd's (yeah I know it used to be a gay bar.) The opening act was Psychofunkepus, a little remembered early 90's funk band. Despite the audiences apathy they were really good. (after the show I sort of talked to the bass player who ...

Can anyone out there think of some odd double bills they've heard of or seen? I can think of two: About ten years ago 38 Special and Ziggy Marley played on the same bill at the Phoenix Center, (I can't remember the full name, it's in Pontiac.) In 1978 The Jam Opened four dates for Blue Oyster Cult, ...

Mea Culpa.

I was wrong. Cindy Stowell will be on again tonight.
