not sure how I feel about this one...you?
She was asked to sing the Canadian AND American National Anthem at a Junior Hockey Tournament in Saskatoon. And the "Star Spangled Banner" kicked her butt...seriously. Do we slam her for screwing it up....or give her a break because it's a tough song to sing?

Simon Pegg has got it going on (i'm so street). He's playing "Scotty" in "Star Trek - Into Darkness". Watch the preview of his character and listen to our interview below. This movie looks AWESOME (i'm such a geek...but a street geek).

Matt Kemp is my hero
Matt Kemp plays for the L.A. Dodgers. Matt Kemp is a reminder that there's still good in people. Last weekend in San Francisco there was a 19 year old Dodgers fan named Jeff who's fighting brain cancer, Matt found out about it -- and watch as he gives him his cap, jersey and shoes. "Wally told me that there was a big Dodger fan at the game and that he didn't have a long time to live — not longer than a month and a half....so after the game, I just decided to go meet him. He couldn't talk because I guess his speech was gone. When I said 'Hi' to him, he just looked at me in shock. It almost got me."

Sol Republic Tracks headphones
Last week we were talking with listeners about albums that they wore out growing up (Live Bullet, Dark Side of the Moon, Frampton Comes Alive, etc.). And it’s interesting that so many of those memories revolve around headphones -- who didn’t listen to Dark Side of the Moon with a set of headphones on?
So when I saw the Sol Republic headphones -- it took me back and forward at the same time. Back to a time where you focused on the music and the experience - forward because these take the digital experience to the next level (listen to CSX on your iphone/ipad/droid/PC with these on and you’ll understand. It’s pure, clean sound)
Couple of things you’ll notice right away with the Sol Republic Tracks:
- Wonderful deep bass without digital splatter (listening to the baselines on Zeppelin with these on....tremendous)
- The on-ear sound is such a different experience (so used to putting in earbuds, it takes time to adjust - and I mean that in a good way).
We’re in an era where remastered albums are coming out weekly. When’s the last time you put on a pair of headphones and listened to “Band On The ...

Sonnen vs Jones
Saturday night promises to be one of the more interesting title fights in UFC history (and that's saying something). Jon Jones vs Chael Sonnen. Hard to argue that Jon is one of the top "pound for pound" fighters in the UFC today -- and Chael is the most polarizing figure in the sport. You either love him or hate him. Surprised by insightfulness two days before a title fight and really looking forward to a good fight (can anyone stope "Bones"?)

coming to DTE on August 2nd
Confession. I love Ted Nugent but always nervous about doing interviews with him. Not because of the politics, but you say one thing then listen. Not alot of give and take with Uncle Ted. But this was different. He's coming to DTE on August 2nd (with a powerful opening lineup Tesla and Laura Wilde) and it wasn't just him selling the show. Ted opened up about Detroit - his guitar influences and an amazing story concerning Bob Seger in a cave. My favorite interview with Ted. Ever.

Great conversation with the drummer for the Doors
This is one of the most interesting books about the Doors I've ever read. It's called "The Doors:Unhinged" about John Densmore and the lawsuit he and the Jim Morrison's family filed against Ray Manzarek and Robbie Krieger when the two launched the Doors of the 21st Century in 2002. In this interview he talks about turning down $15 million from Cadillac, how Jim's Dad showed up at the lawsuit to defend his son, and would he ever consider a reunion -- with Jimmy Fallon on lead vocals?
Here's the clip about a possible reunion with Ray & Robbie - and was the book cathartic (and olive branch to the other two)

I'm a big fan of Craig Ferguson.
And after his opening rant last night, i'm an even bigger fan. Take a couple of minutes and watch the opening of his show after the Boston Marathon Bombings.
