I've known about the award thing since Friday, and had thought about going to the presser this morning (I used to work for the radio station that first played them here), but figured I'd just be an idiot if I went.

Aw, you should've gone, KBB.

I live in Calgary, and we first played them at what is now CJSW, the University of Calgary radio station, back, ah, well y'all know the math.

As an alumna, I could have wangled my way in, but WTF was I supposed to do then? Not sure if they all showed up, and even if they did, do I take in a bottle of Macallan, scurry up to Bubba, and say something I think is really profound but which is totally gibberish? C'mon!

(So OK, yeah, I thought about it, but....) :-)

Probably better off sending it to Anthem or giving to the crew when they arrive before a concert Smile

What song of RUSH did ol' Rush L use? When did this happen?

What award did Bubba get?

I'm so out of touch with the latest!!!!

...."To the DELIGHT of their LOYAL fans..."

Idn't that just a bit of an understatement?

Yeah, I got a pretty good chuckle out of that as well. ;-)

Rush Limbaugh is still alive? LOL He's been dead to me for years. He is the epitome of what I hate in our jumbled up political world. Thank you, Bubba. I would not want anything I created associated with him. I can't believe Chrissie Hynde let him use The Pretenders song for so long. Flush Rush (Limbaugh). Not trying to start a political debate but I will participate if invited!

Yeah, I liked that too. I'd like to hear which charity they've chosen to receive the award money.
