Show Biz: Monday 04/06/09

*** Woohoo! A member of the group Air Supply is having a birthday today. The drummer, I think.

Did Air Supply even have a drummer?

Who cares?! I'm just glad we had an excuse to get out the lemonade pitcher and enjoy some Air Supply today during the birthday segment.

Trust me, if I find out that a distant cousin who had a neighbor that once met one of Air Supply's roadies at the airport, I'm using it as an excuse to play some Air Supply.

Did they even have roadies?

The tune of choice today: "Here I Am". I'm diggin' the red pants in the video, but it took me awhile to even notice them after being scarred by the sight of Russell Hitchcock's hair in the opening interview clip.






*** For the 80's Escape, I referenced a concert appearance over the weekend featuring a reunion of sorts for Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr.

The two hadn't been on the stage together in about seven years.

So, we delved into Macca's 80's arsenal, and snagged "No More Lonely Nights"





*** Imagine tooling around from bar to bar in your very own bar stool. Bar-s-tooling around, I guess.

That was the mode of transportation for a dude in Ohio, who built a motorized barstool -- which apparently can travel up to 38 m.p.h. -- however, his joyride came to an end recently with a DUI charge.

Naturally.

This was just one of the fine stories that made today's Police Blotter.

We'll be replaying it at 5:30am on Thursday in case you missed it.
