This is for the Canadians on watching this thread...

On Saturday, me and the boys went out to a local pub for some drinks.  And the live band that was playing that night was called "Thread"  and the lead singer of this band was Gord Deppe.. the lead singer of the Canadian 80s band called The Spoons.  Not sure if The Spoons where popular in the US, but in Canada they were pretty big in the 80s.

Anyways, this 3 piece band ROCKED with a good mix of new and old 80s classics.  They even played a rock versions of the classic Spoons songs... Nova Hearts, Romantic Traffic and Old Emotions.

What do you wanna do with your life?

Hey, interesting tidbit here.  That guy's name is Mark Metcalfe.  Animal House famous.  His daughter owns a restaurant (EXCELLENT food, btw....Libby Montana's is the name) and he lives in my area.  He does a DVD review and various pop-ins with the local yokel DJ team (www.lazer103.com), Bob & Brian.

Shape D, you should be able to catch them in the Madison area, can't remember the station...perhaps 100.5?  I know the station is 100 X, so whatever the actual number is, you can figger it out.  Mornings until 10. 

I think you guys should all pool your resources and help me get the answers to the "You (still) Can't Win" daily trivia show.  I'll split all the CD's in the CD Jackpot, someone can have the Palm Pilot, and whatever else they're giving away for winning, I'll split it out.  There's no cash, just prizes.

I remember that song.. It was by the B-Sharps (B#)

B-Sharps: Baby on board, how I've adored,
That sign on my car's windowpane
A bounce in my step; loaded with pep,
'Cause I'm driving in the carpool lane.

Call me a square; friend, I don't care
That little yellow sign can't be ignored
I'm telling you it's mighty nice
Each trip's a trip to paradise
With my baby on board.
