This coming Saturday, I will be doing my show live from the Allstate Arena from 3pm-8pm for the annual Trans Siberian Orchestra holiday shows. There will two TSO performances, one at 3pm and the second at 8pm. Never seen them? Think KISS meets Pink Floyd meets Phantom Of The Opera. Safe for all ages, it will simply blow your mind. Once you experience them, you will instantly understand why they have audiences lining up to see them wherever they go and some of the biggest names in rock eagerly jumping on-stage with them.

Happy New Year! I'll see you on the 3rd at TSO!

I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and all of your loved ones a very happy holiday!

I will be taking some time off to spent with my family and will return to the air Saturday, January the 3rd.

This past Tuesday night at the Allstate Arena, Neil Young paid a moving tribute to the late John Lennon (who was gunned down 28 years ago this week) during his encore.

All this week on my show, a chance to win Trans Siberian Orchestra tickets for their January 3rd show at the Allstate Arena, and a focus on some of the best of the newly released rockin' holiday themed CD's during the "10 O'Clock News" Tuesday night.

While checking in with me Thursday night on my show, Aaron Lewis of Staind promised a few surprises when his band Staind played with Seether and Papa Roach last night at the Venue in Hammond. Aaron indeed made good on his threat.
