With Mother's Day coming up in less than a week, I started thinking about some of the OTHER moms that raised me. That's right, TV moms!
Top 5 TV moms:
1. Mrs. Cunningham, Happy Days. Mrs. C. was always fair, had a sweet spot for that bad boy Fonzie, and enjoyed getting "frisky" with Howard. Great role model!
2. Carol Brady, The Brady Bunch. There's plenty of time to be a supportive parent when you have a housekeeper who does all the work...and you're a stay-at-home mom!
3. Judy Miller, Still Standing. I may be the only person who ever watched this show. But Jami Gertz was the kind of mom I would have been if I had kids..still going to rock concerts, drinking beer, and occasionally pulling a scam on my own children.
4. Samantha Stevens, Bewitched. Wouldn't it be great to have a mom that wouldn't yell at you to clean your room..but would just wiggle her nose and do it for you?
5. Marge Simpson, The Simpsons. She always remembers Maggie's name, puts up with Bart, and has the most excellent tall blue hair the world has ever seen!
WORST TV MOM EVER: Ann Romano, from One Day at a Time. I know it wasn't easy for her, raising Julie and Barbara on her own..but all that woman did was bitch, for nine straight seasons! I'm pretty sure Bonnie Franklin's incessant nagging is what caused all those problems for Mackenzie Phillips.
Madison's summer music festival season kicks off this weekend with Brat Fest at Willow Island, where there are more bands than you can shake a bratwurst at! Check out the Brat Fest website to plan your itinerary.
Next up is the Marquette...
John Fogerty is making the talk show rounds this week, stopping in to see David Letterman Tuesday and Wednesday, and the ladies of "The View" on Thursday.
He's promoting his new album, "Wrote a Song For Everyone" which comes out next Tuesday...
It's a miracle that both Jonathan and KItty wanted to hear Barry Manilow this morning. They were not alone. Plenty of Fanilow's called in to vote yes. One caller claimed to have seen Manilow in concert 25 times!
The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, it is another gorgeous Monday, fit for another great show at the Crystal Corner tonight.
Through locking ourselves in the barn on Irish Lane, tossing some ideas around, as well as a few choice beverages to...
Hey everybody, we were thrown for a loop by the twist this week, but were able to make one of our "oldie but a goldie" songs fit the mold.
We have a few songs that we have played consistently over the years, and we are very happy that we will be...
We just received word of what this weeks twist is, and...oh boy. We need to take our "signature song" and cut it to only 2:30 without going over. Amberstein does not simply play 2:30 versions of our songs...so this could be interesting.

In 1984, Rockwell rose to number 2 for 3 weeks in 1984 with "Somebody's Watching Me." The backup singer for the song was Michael Jackson. How did Rockwell get Jackson to help him? Well, Rockwell's real name is Kennedy William Gordy and he...
Have you heard the song "Rumble and Sway" yet on Triple M?
The singer sounds like a raspy blues dude who's definitely been around the block a few times....but surprisingly, Jamie N. Commons is only 23 years old!
He was born in England, but...
