D&D - June 25, 2009

Sad to see MindCandy, once projected to be the "greatest band in history," go the way of the dodo. I only saw them live once, at the WCSX NYE bash last year welcoming D&D back on the air. I might try to get out to the Stars and Stripes Festival in Mt. Clemens Rudy mentioned briefly this morning to see their "goodbye" gig (btw, Rudy, that was a HORRIBLE bit of manwhoring there, you can do better than that). Full show this morning with topics ranging from spousal spending limits to a dating website with a DNA database to banned celebrity wishlist and everything in between. Chris Chelios called in to discuss his future, tickets for the Pistons' draft party were given away, some funny entries from textsfromlastnight.com were read, Monica Conyers's relatives' "city assistance programs" were brought up, and Rudy's gay little trip to the Pottery Barn was ridiculed. Other topics were, courtesy of WCSX.com:

1. THE 13 MOST UNINTENTIONALLY DISTURBING CHILDREN'S TOYS (link) - As clowns have taught us, there is a very fine line between mirthful and downright creepy. But when you look at some children's toys from the last few decades, you can't help but wonder how in the hell they designed these things without realizing how deeply, deeply unsettling they are. Check out the toys!
2. CARL PALMER AND GEOFF DOWNS (podcast) - Carl Palmer and Geoff Downs called in to talk to D&D about Asia hitting the road on tour. Asia, along with the band Yes, come to Detroit July 20th!
3. GOVERNOR SANFORD SCANDAL (podcast) - Talk show hosts everywhere are having a field day with the story of South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford cheating on his wife. Why should we be any different?
4. BAND NAMES (podcast) - D&D's very own Rudy is actually a musician that has been in a local Detroit band for quite some time now. Rudy is forming a NEW band, and wanted the listeners to help him come up with a band name.
5. GOODBYE TO CHRIS CHELIOS (podcast) - After 10 years of being a Detroit Red Wing, Chris Chelios is saying goodbye...We got Cheli on the line and let listeners call in to send him off with their well wishes.
