The Loop Rock Girl 2008 grand finale is this coming Saturday at Austin's Saloon in Libertyville beginning with a live broadcast with me starting at 3pm and culminating with the crowning of the new 2008 Loop Rock Girl. Vince Neil of Motley Crue will serve as one of our guest judges, and if you join me during my broadcast, you'll have a chance to win an autographed guitar signed by Vince, tickets to see Motley Crue this summer at Cruefest, Cubs/Cards tickets and plenty of food and drink specials as well. Come join me and cheer on your favorite girl. It promises to be a blast! All the details here: www.wlup.com/rockgirlshowcase2008/browse.aspx.

All day this coming Tuesday, 97.9 The Loop will be spinning tracks from the new, yet to be released CD from Def Leppard entitled "Songs From The Sparkle Lounge" and giving you a chance to win a copy each time we play a new track. Having had a chance to preview the disc, I can tell you it's terrific!
