New Year's Resolutions

I just finished discussing New Year's Resolutions with Dr. Laura Schlessinger on my morning show on KFWB in Los Angeles. This is the first year is consciously did not make any personal resolutions (other than to post more often to this blog), and the doctor said that's a good thing. But, she said all of us should set little goals to improve ourselves all the time; baby steps. They are easier to achieve and to make part of our routine, and unlike big resolutions like, "I'm going to lose 50 pounds," they do not set us up for failure.

Set Your Calendar; Dream Theater Interview

Here's an upcoming interview you would expect me to do on KNAC.COM, but no, it's happening August 25 at 8:02 a.m. Pacific time on KFWB! Yup, progressive metal on KFWB when Penny Griego and I speak live to Dream Theater keyboardist extraordinaire, Jordan Rudess.

Rudess and his band bring their Progressive Nation Tour to a close at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles August 29.

Dream Theater is one of my favorite bands, and if you're not familiar with them, or you think you'll be scared off by metal, give the video below a watch, with the perspective that these guys are all about the music and doing things most musicians haven't dreamed of yet. The song is one of my faves from DT, "The Dark Eternal Night" and for bands coming up, this song has about a dozen hooks, each of which could be the basis for a single song, but DT weaves them nicely into this 9 minute ditty, with tinges of 1970's Gentle Giant. A little frustrating they shield our eyes from guitarist John Petrucci's fret board during the solos, but he has little left to prove, so be it. Enjoy.

Michael Jackson Radio

It sure seems I will be covering Michael Jackson news for quite a while to come.

There are so many wrinkles to this story that need to be ironed out:

• Circumstances of death/autopsy results
• Drug use/Physician administered or otherwise
• General condition prior to death
• Child Custody
• Estate control and possible surprise claims of entitlement
• Music rights/Future use
• London concert ticket refunds
• Police inquiries
• Civil Rights
• Jackson's Legacy

These topics are just of the top of my head. I am sure there are plenty more, but they are all coming, fast and furious.

Stay tuned. (Don't forget to listen to me on KFWB AM 980 in Los Angeles, Monday-Friday, 4:30-9am Pacific time).

Vacation on Location (Originally Airing May 14 on KFWB)

A feature interview we just started doing on KFWB is turning out to be particularly interesting. Each Thursday at 7:47 we talk to Harry Medved of Fandango.com. He's authored a book called Hollywood Escapes, and each week we talk about locations you might not think of, that are full of Hollywood history, and worth, at the very least, a picnic, if not an entire weekend.

This week we talked about a couple Southern California day trips, that include UCLA and Cal State Northridge, where scenes for some high profile movies were shot; scenes for, among others, "Angels and Demons" and "Star Trek."

Listen to the entire interview that my co-anchor, Penny Griego and I did with Harry Medved this week. Click here to listen, or "right-click" to download. (TIP: Subscribe to my blog to, in the future, allow your rss-reader, or podcatcher to download the enclosed file automatically.)
