Max Pays Our Respects...
The world lost three pop culture icons in the last few days. We'd just like to take a second to show some respect for the lives that had an effect on us all in one way or another by showing a picture of each from their best days.
It's Gotta Be The Shoes!
According to TMZ.com, ELVH Inc. -- Eddie's company -- filed a federal lawsuit against Nike last week, laced with allegations of copyright infringement. The suit claims a series of designs Eddie trademarked -- designs which have prominently been displayed on his guitars since 1978 -- were lifted by Nike without his consent.
The suit is not only seeking monetary retribution -- it also calls for "the impoundment and destruction of all footwear."
Oddly enough, Eddie's own sneaker lineborrows heavily from the Converse Chuck Taylor. Since Nike owns Converse, we wonder if there will be a countersuit!
Even Bret Michaels Has A Tough Day Once In A While
Bret Michaels took a piece of set to the face after he apparently "missed his mark" during the Tony Awards broadcast. The first question that comes to mind is "what was Poison doing on the Tony Awards?", but then you see the video and don't even care about the first question. Check out the craziness in the quick video above.
The Many Looks Of Phil Spector...

The catch? All you have to do is windmill just like the man himself... on video!
The new Beatles Rock Band game will be release 09/09/09... and even if you've never played a video game before, this video will blow your mind. Amazing detail on the Fab 4 and plenty of great songs to play so you can pretend, even for just one minute, that you were there at the pinnacle of Beatlemania!
Springsteen Covers "My Generation"
Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band have been taking audience requests on this tour, and it's starting to become a kind of "Stump The Band". Some of the requests have been for long lost Springsteen tunes, but many have been for covers like "London Calling" from The Clash, "Expressway To Your Heart" from Soul Survivors, "I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide" from ZZ Top, and this classic from The Who...

New Springsteen Video For "The Wrestler"!
OK, so Mickey Rourke didn't win an Oscar for Best Actor for his role in "The Wrestler", but Bruce Springsteen DID release a video for the title song to the movie. Check it out below.
So, it's been a couple of months since we showed up here in Bakersfield, and we can't thank you enough for the warm reception. Everyone has been so nice to us as we get settled in. We look forward to many years together playing the music we all grew up with and becoming a big part of the community.
We're in the process of building the station from the ground up, and the same thing goes for this website! We'd love to hear about anything you think is important enough to include... and the things you would rather not include. Get in touch with us here.
