Graham
Nash
on the Secrets of Successful Songwriting
It was almost a decade since Graham
Nash of Crosby, Stills &
Nash fame had released a new solo
album before recording Songs
for Survivors. But he didn't waste
any time working on a new project. It's just that this time
around, you'll be seeing his work on bookshelves. In Off
the Record: Songwriters on Songwriting,
Nash has compiled the stories behind twenty-five of the world's
most celebrated songs by talking to the original authors and
finding out how each tune impacted their lives. The book is
accompanied by two CDs narrated by Graham Nash, which include
in-depth audio interviews with songwriters and insights into
their unique perspectives on songwriting and the creative process.

"COB DOG"
Crowe on Bass
Dan on Guitar
What do you get when you team an award winning standup comedian
with a talented comedic rocker? Possibly the greatest comedy
duo ever assembled! Then again, you might get Cob
Dog. David
Crowe and Dan
Cummins formed this fellowship in a crusade to bring huge
laughs to clubs and campuses around the country, and its
worked. Just months after Cob Dogs inception, loyal Bob
& Tom listeners were introduced to their comedic stylings
in a little sketch they like to call
The Latte Scene.

What
did you do
for fun last March?
Karen Land did the Iditarod!
Karen
Lands first exposure to dog sled competitions was
as a writer covering Maines Can-Am Crown Sled Dog Race
as a graduate student in non-fiction writing program. Somehow,
through all the bitter cold, Land fell in love with the dogs,
the competition and the entire lifestyle that is mushing. Following
her heart, she began working as a dog handler for sledder, Terry
Adkins, knowing that all this "hanging out" with sled
dogs and mushers would inevitably lead to her racing a team
of her own. Even going as far as racing her team in the granddaddy
of all dog sleding events, the Alaskan
Iditarod.

Tequila on the Rocks
This summer, the unthinkable happened. The two former Van Halen
front men toured together for the first, and probably only time
ever. Though Sammy
Hagar and Diamond Dave's summer of love has come to and
end, the music doesn't stop just because the tour does.

The Red Rocker, and founder of Cabo Wabo Tequila (now the #2
brand in the US) has just released a brand new album with his
band The Waborita's, titled Not
4 Sale and has once again shown why he's considered to
be one of the heavyweights of rock and roll.
"The tour would still be on if I was having fun with it,"
says Hagar. "But Dave is a guy who has seven body guards
and doesn't need a single one. I've never met such a whacked
out goofball in my entire life."
When it comes to life, Sammy doesn't like to do anything that
isn't fun. This is why he enjoys his time at his Cabo Wabo Cantina,
where he performs on a regular basis. "I am in there all
the time rocking," says Hagar. "We don't publicize
any of it until it gets to my birthday... where we celebrate
for two weeks."
If you can't catch Sammy live, check out the new CD which is
full of brand new tunes. "I have stockpiles of old songs
I have written but I never use any of those on albums. I don't
know why? Whenever I want to do an album, I end up writing all
new stuff." Not 4 Sale
is currently for sale across the country.

The
Best Hair In Broadcasting
Craig Kilborn began his broadcast career as the play-by-play announcer
for the CBA Savannah. He was later discovered and placed in front
of a national audience on ESPNs Sports
Center where he used his sly wit to win over audiences
while replaying sports highlights. Kilborn became so popular that
Comedy Central wasted no time in choosing him to host their brand
new late night news spoof, The Daily Show.
"The president of Comedy Central said when he was pitching
the idea for this show that he was looking for a "Craig Kilborn"
type to host it. One of those wisecracking sports reporter types.
I told him hell, I'll do it. I think I'm the Craig Kilborn type."
It was there that Craiggers created his now famous "Five
Questions" and "A Moment For Us," two features
he still uses today on CBS as
the host of The
Late Late Show.
"When I took over for Tom Snider, everyone at CBS was great.
And what a great job. In at 5:30, out by 7:30, and in the bars
by eight."
Another part of his job that Craig enjoys is all the free stuff
he receives concerning guests on his show. "I get prereleased
videos and DVDs of the movies that my guests are in which is really
great. I don't usually watch them though because I don't want
the interviews to be all about the movie, or the book. It's better
when we just touch on that, and funnier too."
Speaking of movies, In addition to his hosting duties, Craig will
be making the jump the big screen for the first time this fall
in the movie Old School. |

Sandra Bullock's
Biggest Fan
George
Lopez didn't want his show to become your average cookie-cutter
family comedy, where all life's little problems could be solved
in a mere 22 minutes. That concept has been a hit with audiences
and has kept Lopez's self-titled show pulling down strong ratings.
And things are only going to get better when Sandra Bullock
returns as George's accident prone (yet strikingly lovely) coworker,
Amy. Bullock is not only a big fan of George
Lopez, she's also the executive
producer. George Lopez,
now in its sophomore season, airs every Wednesday on ABC.

The
NFL Song: Week 9
Could parity in the NFL be any more evident
than in this year's season? As Greg Gumble said, "Any Given
Sunday" is more that just a bad movie. Even Terry Bradshaw
says this is the ugliest football he's seen in years. But rest
assured, it's never so bad that Duke
Tumatoe won't sing about it in his weekly NFL
Song. And lets not forget about Bass
Talk, with host, Mark Christopher
(don't call him "M.C.") Rohrman.

John
Feinstein Documents A Dark Moment in NBA History
In 1977, Rudy Tomjanovich and Kermit Washington became involved
in a scuffle that will forever be known as The Punch.
This brief moment in time would not only change their lives, but
how professional sports are played today. Because the punch
dislodged Tomjanovich's skull and nearly destroyed both men's
careers, this incident has never been forgotten. Instead, it almost
overshadows both men's notable achievements in the NBA.
"Even though these two men barely knew each other, they have
felt like they've been married all these years," says Feinstein.
"They are always going to be associated with each other."
The history of that punch and the fate of the two men are the
subjects of John Feinstein's newest
book The
Punch.
"Fighting wasn't a rare occurrence back in the old days of
the NBA, but this changed all that. People used to get suspended
from games all the time for fighting," says Feinstein "But
this nearly destroyed both men's lives."
According to John, Washington has never been able to pull himself
out from the shadow that this punch cast on his life and career.
And Rudy not only suffered physical pain from the incident, but
also suffered from the same nightmare, night after night, for
years. "It has only been since Rudy stopped drinking that
the dreams have stopped, and he has been able to forgive Kermit
for what happened," says Feinstein "I asked Rudy if
Kermit ever came to him for help, what would he do. He told me
that if he could, he would do anything to help him."
Feinstein is the brilliant author that is behind such sports classics
as A
Season on the Brink and A
Good Walk Spoiled. "I have been coming on your guys'
show for years now for pretty much every book I have ever written.
You guys were on 1 station when I first came on your show... now
look at you. See the connection."
Rest assured John, your check is in the mail. |
