Happy Hump Day !
Well, here it is, Wednesday, January 23.
What a strange start to the week...really. Strange and memorable. Let's take a look back:
MONDAY: The day to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Chattanooga did so with it's usual outstanding job. Kudos to everyone who braved the frigid temperatures on the walk in Dr. King's honor.
TUESDAY: Lots of school closings and many, many wrecks. Speaking of wrecks, I'm sure you heard about the fiasco on Wall Street. The Federal Reserve cut a key interest rate by 3/4 of a point, and the experts say that may have helped avoid a serious economic crisis.
WEDNESDAY: The world wakes up to find out actor Heath Ledger has died at the age of 28.
What a talented actor. I first saw him in the Halle Berry - Billy Bob Thornton flick "Monster's Ball", back in 2001. Dark, brooding parts seemed to be his specialty...his 'stock-in-trade', so to speak. But he had a great comic side as well. Remember "The Lords Of Dogtown" ?
It's too bad the world will never be able to see more of his comedic abilities.
It's ironic...very ironic...that Ledger's last movie role will actually combine his dark, brooding side WITH his comedic side. He had just wrapped filming on the upcoming Batman movie. He plays The Joker.

The Barry Manilow Show
The Barry Manilow Concert that was scheduled for Saturday, January 19, has been rescheduled.
NOT postponed...rescheduled.
But...we don't know what that date will be as f yet.
As soon as it's announced, we'll have it posted here, and we'll be announcing it live on the air on Classic Hits WUUS !
Now....why, exactly, did they postpone the show?
Apparently, with all of the flights cancelled at the Atlanta Airport, Barry couldn't make the trip.
Maybe it's just me...but I don't see a star of Manilow's caliber flying commercial !
What about you ?

What did YOU do this weekend ?
I hope all of you had a great weekend !
I got to see a great movie this weekend...if you haven't checked out "The Bucket List" yet, it's a must !
Jack Nicholson & Morgan Freeman both give dynamic performances in their respective characters. This is a movie the critics panned as "predictable", "formulaic", and "dull".
The critics ...whoever they are...left out "thought-provoking".
Well, I don't know about you, but when I go to a movie, I go to be entertained. I go to see craftsmen's work at it's best. I don't want to have to figure out the hidden philosophical meaning between frames the director may or may not be trying to impart. But let me say if you enjoy Nicholson & Freeman, you'll enjoy this flick immensely. Plus, it's filled with lots of great Classic hits !
And this movie is entertaining, as well as thought provoking.
You'll laugh. Hard.
You'll cry. Hard.
And most of all, you'll think... What would be on YOUR "Bucket List" ?
