Show Biz: Monday 03/09/09

*** Robin Trower was the artist that was featured for the birthday segment today. Trower, who turns 64 today, was a part of Procol Harum, so our tie-in song for today was "Whiter Shade Of Pale."

I think Jay and I should re-create the opening sequence of this video. We already own the outfits.





*** During the birthday segments, we often mention an event for that day that was created, or at least sponsored by Tom and Ruth Roy of Lebanon, PA.

They are usually idiotic and non-sensical, which is why we mention them

Today, apparently, is Panic Day, where you are supposed to run around all day in a panic, telling others you can't handle it anymore.

Isn't that every day considering our dire economic times?




*** It's also Barbie's birthday today. She looks great for 50.

We've got more than a few Barbie dolls at the Williams' compound. My wife kept a lot of her collection, and passed those along to our daughters, who have picked up some Barbie stuff of their own as well.

Did you miss Jay's story from his childhood? Since he was into G.I. Joe, his older sister -- a big Barbie fan -- would set up weddings with Barbie and the military man.

Bored, Jay would turn to gunfire, sending Joe into a machine gun rage, gunning down all of those in attendance.

I swear that was the plot of a Schwarzenegger movie once.

If you missed the discussion, it might make tomorrow's opening segment, or at least a promo later this week.


*** Also celebrating a birthday today, Jeffrey Osborne, who turns 61. For the 80's Escape, rather than play one of my least favorite songs of the 80's, "The Woo Woo Song", we chose to get your toes tapping even more, with "Stay With Me Tonight".
