Remember when Bill Clinton appeared on Arseneo Hall's late night talk show? At the time, some critics thought it was undignified for a man who was trying to become President of the United States to go on a common talk show.
Wow! Times have sure changed. Last night Barack Obama was on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. We've never had a sitting President sit in on a talk show.
I thought Barack was great and what was most impressive was his ability to appear like a regular guy. He told a few funny stories about his kids riding on Marine One and about getting the family dog.
Many people have said our last President was quite charming in person. However, it always seemed like he was guarded and wasn't sure what to say next.
The only mistake Obama made was when he was joking about his poor bowling skills and said he should be in the Special Olympics. He apologized before the interview even aired.
How important is it for a President to be good on a late night talk show? Not very, but I did enjoy the fact that Obama seemed like a real person and not a politician who seemed out of touch with all of us.
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...
Last week, I decided I would try one new, healthy food a week, and asked my facebook friends to make some suggestions.
The first thing I tried was mango. I'm sure I've had other mango flavored things, and mango as part of something else, but...
There's only one thing that might be worse than the Neil Diamond/Barbra Streisand duet "You Don't Bring Me Flowers." And that's Jonathan Suttin doing his best crooning...doing both parts. Most unpleasant.
A lot of people liked this song...
Artist: Alchemilla
Hail From: Boston
Song: 'The Wheel'
Album: Diamonds From The Penny Arcade
Sounds Like: Hole, Pearl Jam
In Their Words: "Alchemilla had been trying to write a ballad for a little while but it wasn't happening. There...
Last weeks challenge we thought went excellent! Of course we are a little biased.
The drinking song couldn't have been any better, or any less fun. We had a blast through out the whole process, and our performance rocked.
This week is an easy...
So the story goes Michael Jackson completed this song while watching cartoons with Paul McCartney. We'll just let that sink in for a moment.
Not sure what cartoons they were watching, but it must have worked because this song made it to number 2...
The Dalai Lama is back in town, sharing his message of peace and kindness with likeminded individuals, and the Wisconsin legislature. He also held a private meeting with Gov. Walker, who said he mostly listened to what His Holiness had to say (wise...
This duet by Ol' Blue Eyes and his daughter went all the way to number 1 back in 1967. It seems a little creepy that Frank and Nancy Sinatra are singing a love song. However, a lot of Triple M listeners were in the mood for it.
