…is up and running. It’s a behind the scenes look at Your Morning Show and it’s activated between 6 and 10 am weekdays. Hope you’ll check it out.
Today is M&Ms Argument Day, a day to discuss which is best, Plain, Peanut, or Almond.
And this is National Part Your Hair Crooked Week.
The 101 number one song of the day was inspired, according to its creator by Martha and the Vandellas’ “Dancin’ in the Streets” but the writer just didn’t think it was good enough to be an “A” side. Few people agreed. (more on that next.) He’d been lying awake in bed in a motel room in Clearwater, FL when he thought of a chord progression that came to his fingers. The next morning when he played the guitar riff back on his portable cassette recorder for his songwriting partner he offered some words to go with it. Back to that in a moment. Despite his protests, they checked into Chess Studios in Chicago to work more on the tune and later it was completed during an 18 hour recording session at RCA studios in Hollywood. The man who started it all was just about the only one who didn’t think it had much commercial value. His name was Keith Richards. It was the number one song on July 14, 1965. The words he added to the riff were: “I can’t get no satisfaction” – the Rolling Stones

Cha-ching-
There’s a 63-year old woman in Texas that has won the Texas state lottery – four times in the past 17 years! Joan Ginther is a retired college math teacher – who specializes in scratching off winning instant tickets. She’s won a total of $21-million dollars. Mathematicians say the chances of pulling off a similar feat – for the rest of us – is one in 18-septillion. That’s an 18 followed by 24 zeros. Ms. Ginther has asked the press to leave her alone (with her millions)
Ben Roethlisberger is getting into trouble again. This time police in Dublin, Ohio had to investigate whether the troubled quarterback urinated in public at a public golf course in the town. A woman witnessed the episode and called the clubhouse. When she described the man, they said it sounded like Roethlisberger…so she called the police. By the time the police arrived, Roethlisberger had already left the course. -But somehow the story still leaked to the press.
The Center for Disease Control issued a warning about the potential health hazard connected with restaurant salsa and guacamole. They say the problem is due to the fact the food is prepared with raw peppers, tomatoes and cilantro. There have been 25 cases of food poisoning related to restaurant salsa and guacamole in the last ten years. Twenty-five cases…in ten years?? That’s two and a half cases a year!!!…you have a better chance of being hit while you’re crossing the street…by a Presidential motorcade. Bring it on!
New research out of Germany says the bigger your head…the better your memory. Their research suggests all that extra space means more brain cells – and that gives you more brain power. And interestingly…people with bigger heads seem to hang on to their faculties longer, being less likely to develop Alzheimer’s.
from big heads to FAT HEADS…
…This might be the problem with the economy. The Senate is working on federal loan regulations for Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae for new home buyers. A Republican Senator introduced language into the bill that required new home buyers to put at least a 5% down payment on a home purchase. Democratic Senator Chris Dodd from Connecticut led a vote to repeal the rule saying (in true fat head fashion)…and we’re not making this up…”Passage of such a requirement would restrict home ownership to only those that could afford it.”
Why should people have to be able to actually afford the things they buy…when the government never takes it into consideration?
Catch ya tomorrow on the radio…and the Mike & KC-cam.
