Caught the Cheech & Chong reunion tour at the Genesee Theatre last night. Nearly 25 years apart did nothing to dull their killer comedic chops. Mixing classic and new routines, they were absolutely hilarious.

Yesterday also saw the release of the much-anticipated "Guitar Hero - Metallica." Set to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame this coming weekend, Metallica are on a monumental roll. Not too much to have a little fun, however.

ZZ Top will be taping an episode of "VH1 Storytellers" at the Congress Theatre this Wednesday night. Keep listening for your chance to win these exclusive tickets from the Loop!

Playoff tickets for the Blackhawks go on sale tomorrow. With the team leading the league in attendance season (selling out every home game this season) and making the playoffs for the first time in 7 years, you can bet these tickets will go fast.

Metal is for muthas... and their kids, too!
