*** Bulletin! ***

The very first interview granted by the Scorpions since they announced their impending retirement, along with a listen to and chance to win a copy before you can even buy it of what will be their final studio album "Sting In The Tail" next Tuesday (3/2) at 8:30am on my show. The announcement of a Chicago farewell show will be announced at this time as well. Don't miss it!

The 2010 Chicago Auto Show was another rousing success for sports car enthusiasts. Rather than the usual display of awe-inspiring concept cars, the focus this year (due to the economy) was mostly on wild new paint/color schemes and bigger engines with more horsepower and better fuel economy for the already existing Corvette, Challenger, Camaro and Mustang models. Don't be deceived though. The improvements and tweaks were still enough to induce drooling. See for yourself here: http://www.chicagoautoshow.com/index.asp

Shocking news that the iconic Abbey Road Studios in London may end up being sold off by EMI Records who are looking to raise much needed cash. A mecca for music fans, the British government are eyeing the prize hopefully meaning that the studios may finally be accessible to the public. Up until now, access to the legendary studios where The Beatles, Pink Floyd, U2 and many others recorded has been strictly off-limits. If my experiences and access there this past fall could be granted to others, it would most certainly be the source of dizzying interest and revenue for the new owners. Here's hoping.

With the massive success of Guitar Hero and Rock Band, could "Guitar Hero: Byrd" or "Byrd: Rock Band" be next? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89Kz8Nxb-Bg&feature=player_embedded

Nah.
