Looking for a headliner for the PeaceLoveHaiti benefit!!!
On Friday, Oct. 22, Friday, there will be a benefit for PeaceLoveHaiti at R.T. Quinlan’s starting around 9 with all $5 of the cover going to the charity.
Little Black Books will be playing, as well as Tony Bennett as the lone acoustic guy, but we need a headliner!!! Are you in a band that will donate one night of rock (hip hop, reggae, funk, folk, socca, whatev) to help us help Haiti?
PeaceLoveHaiti is a nonprofit group made up of 2 RNs. We go to Port au Prince and try to help as many people as possible by running mobile clinics in the tent cities there. We have a blog — peacelovehaiti.blogspot.com.
We need to make some drug money so we can bring plenty of vitamins, antibiotics, etc. with us. If you are seriously interested please email us at peacelovehaiti @ yahoo.com

Old Duluth Rock Shows/Posters?
A coworker recently left this poster in her office so I:
1) Pounced all over it.
2) Wondered if others in Duluth have old posters from big name (whatever that means) rock shows that took place here.
Does anybody else have posters they can upload a picture of … or just knowledge of other big acts that have come through Duluth?

Another Station Change
After yet another radio format switch I find myself wondering the reason for it all, and when it will end. I must admit, the Bridge was one of the few stations left that I could stand to listen to.
Upper Midwest Broadcasting Station News reports:
Midwest Communications’ KDAL-FM/95.7 (Duluth) has dropped its “Bridge” Adult Alternative format and is now carrying Rock of the 1970s, `80s, and `90s as “Rock 96.”
What are everyone’s thoughts?

Trampled by Turtles on MTV?
It just might happen if the band gets enough votes in MTV’s online contest.
I just love seeing that iconic MTV logo up in the corner, makes me smile, but then again I’m a child of the 1980s and maybe it means something different to me than others.

I wasn’t born to follow
Summer is over, maples are turning and birds are migrating. I was reminded of this old song … and being of that era, this movie, and thankful some things do not change. Move on, PDD.
