There has never been a reason to watch the Tony Awards - honoring the best in broadway - until now.  Watch it many times and enjoy.

The 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver approaches and naturally preparations are well underway and we are beginning to see the results of that planning and preparation.  For example, the olympic torch.  Probably looks innocent when it’s upright, but if you turn it sideways…

Is it us, or does it look like a joint?  Because shaping it like a bong would have been ridiculous, they elected to go with the marijuana cigarette.  Way to live up to your reputation British Columbia.

Can’t wait to see this doobey jaunt through Lethbridge along Hwy 3.  I assume all torch carriers will be provided with a roach clip.

Pet owners… lock up your dogs.  Disgraced NFL QB Michael Vick is out of jail.  Mind you, he will be confined to his house for another two months.  But on July 20th Vick will be released from Federal custody and will then be placed in the custody of the media/public.  He may be safer in prison.When a barrage of reporters converge on Vick, it would shock no one if an extremist member of PETA slithers through the crowd with a concealed weapon to inflict their own brand of justice on the Dog-fighting ring leader.  But forget that PETA punk.  Vick, what you need to is the reaction of other dogs.  They’re gonna get ya.  I don’t mean ‘get ya’ like they’re gonna wiz on your lawn or rip your slippers or even bite your ankles.  It’ll happen more like how I described above.  When a barrage of reporters converge on Vick, a dog will weave through the legs of the mob brandishing his concealed weapon.   When he sees his moment, Vick’s liberated expression will melt into agony as he’s shivved by the furry assassin.  And the most shocking element of it all is that the dog who does it will be a St. Bernard - the loveable canines trained to save people and deliver Neo-Citran.  But on this fatefull day, the St. Bernard is only there to deliver vigilante justice.  Oh, the irony. Vincent

You know ‘em.  You Love ‘em… or hate ‘em.  But you know ‘em, nonetheless.  TV Catch Phrases.  We have already begun making a giant audio collage of people’s favorite TV catch phrases.  They can be from your favorite shows or commercials.  Personally my favorite is Al Bundy saying “Four touchdowns in one game.”  It’s not the best catch phrase, but it’s my favorite.  Honorable mention to Entourage “Victory!” and Vince from Shamwow, “Ya followin’ me, camera guy?” Tell us what yours is.  Here is a LIST of a bundle to refresh your memory of some classics.  Pick from the list or pick from memory and we’ll grab an audio file of it and add it to the collage.  Thanks in advance. Vincent 

According to antimusic.com, these are the 10 best one-hit wonder songs of the 1980s.  Let the record show, I disagree with the majority of this list.  How about you? 

#10. “Relax” — Frankie Goes to Hollywood 
#9. “Too Shy” — Kajagoogoo
#8. “I Want Candy” — Bow Wow Wow
#7. “I Melt With You” — Modern English
#6. “Mickey” — Toni Basil
#5. “Tainted Love” — Soft Cell
#4. “867-5309/Jenny” — Tommy Tutone
#3. “Take On Me” — A-Ha
#2. “I Ran (So Far Away)” — Flock of Seagulls
#1. “Come On Eileen” — Dexy’s Midnight Runners 

“Come On Antimusic.com” — Vince’s Midnight Runners.  Just off the top of my head, here’s what they’re missing:
“Don’t You Forget About Me” — Simple Minds
“99 Luft Balloons” — Nena
“Whip it” — Devo
“You Spin Me Right Round” — Dead or Alive
“Boys of Summer” — Don Henley (Yes, this was his only hit solo song)
“Party all the time” — Eddie Murphy
“The Future’s So Bright” — Timbuk 3
“Keep Your Hands to Yourself” — Georgia Satellites
“I Just Died in Your Arms Tonight” — Cutting Crew
“Eye of the Tiger” — Survivor

Again… just off the top of my head. Maybe not all of them should contend for the top 10 but still, they’re a lot better than Kajagoogoo.

Of course, that’s just my personal opinion. What’s yours? Any favorite 1-hit wonders of the 80s spring to mind? Click on the headline above and let us know what it is. It’s fun to flashback.

And should you be a child of Generation Y or Z then instead of scoffing at these lamo tunes you need to bag your face, like yesterday. Your homework tonight is to youtube all these rad, totally boss songs and get amped 80s 1-hit wonder style. And if you’re not convinced that these songs are choice then keep it to yourself before you barf me out.

Anyone understand anything I just said there?

Ah, yes.  Spring has sprung and there’s nothing quote like hitting the golf course with the boys — hit some balls, hit some trees, tell some lies, devour tasty food and beverages.  Is there anything better in this world?  Lots, actually.  But for some it’s the ultimate thing to do… yes, even better than you-know-what.  Sounds rediculous, doesn’t it?  But consider this: It’s perfectly cool to golf with someone you just met.  You shake hands, introduce yourself, then start doin’ what you came to do.Threesomes and foursomes not only happen all the time, they’re encouraged.  Some courses won’t let you do it with any less than four.You don’t have to sneak golf magazine’s into the house and hide them under your mattress.You don’t go blind if you golf alone.In golf, the sweet spot is not only easier to hit, it actually exists.Nobody expects you to golf with one partner for the rest of your life.A below par performance is not only good, it’s what you strive for. You don’t have to buy golf gloves in packs of 12.You don’t have to use a new glove everytime you golf.And if your golf glove rips, you don’t panic, because there’s no such thing as GTDs.When you hit your 60s, you can still golf without popping a pill.But perhaps best of all, halfway through you can stop, have a burger, wolf down a beer or two then get back at ‘er.Personally, I still prefer you-know-what.  But that’s because this list isn’t done yet.  So go ahead.  Convince me that GOLF is BETTER than you-know-what by clicking the headline above.  Vincent.    

64 beautiful women all gathered here at this blog only a few weeks ago knowing that only 1 could be named the most beautiful of them all via the democratic process of majority rules, tournament style.  March Madness… Vince & Rosie Style.  (Although that Basketball thing they do down in the States is pretty good too).Our two finalists = Megan Fox vs. Alyssa Milano.  Alyssa Milano jumped out to a HUGE early lead, only to have Megan battle back BIG TIME.  It was a cat fight.  And I wish you could have been with me to witness it.  Unfortunately my camcorder battery was recharging at the time.  Ladies and Slobberingmen, I give you The… Most… Beautiful Woman… in the WORLD… according to Rock106 Blog Participants. Thank you again for your votes.  You made this a blast and a big success.  The 2010 tournament can’t come soon enough.  And next year I plan on having Phoebe Cates and Princess Leia in her Return of the Jedi Bikini in the competition as well.  I think that would have potentially altered the results this year.

A big THANKS to all the participants of March Madness Vince & Rosie Style… as in the ladies and the voters.  We couldn’t have done it without either of you.   The inaugural 2009 edition of this tournament was a huge success and we already look forward to 2010.  Sorry Vancouver, but this is cooler than you Winter Games.Unfortunately the voting booth is closed.  The votes that have been cast between our two finalists (Megan Fox vs. Alyssa Milano) are currently being tallied and the results will be aired on the next show (Tuesday, April 7th).  You can also check back here at the blog a view all 4 brackets and the path our ultimate winner took to become the “2009 Hottest Woman Alive!”Vincent 

April 17th… the Harlem Globetrotters will showcase their basketball super-skills versus the equally legendary Washington Generals (who are famous for their lack any skill at all).  I’m sure you’re familiar with the Harlem Globetrotters theme song, but are you familiar with the theme song for the Washington Generals?  Of course not.  They don’t have one.  Not yet, anyway.  That’s where you come in.  Click the headline above to leave your suggestion for a theme song for the lowly Washington Generals.  Rosie suggested ‘Loser’ by Beck.  I prefer ‘Live 2 Win’ by Paul Stanley.  Here are some other suggestions so far:Crosby Stills Nash & Young “Helpless”Beatles “I’m a Loser”Who “Won’t Get Fooled Again”Tragically Hip “Courage”Tom Petty “Running Down A Dream”….. Let’s add your suggestion to the list — The Washington Generals Theme Song.  If we choose yours I’ll hook you up with a Bonus Code worth 5000 points for your Rock Rewards Club membership.  

Poll results revealed that the #1 female celeb that guys want to party with is Megan Fox. You have chosen well.

Fellas were also asked about what male celeb you’d like to party with. Top answer = George Clooney. You have chosen poorly. Yes, the ladies would swoon to Clooney but they wouldn’t even notice you at the table. Plus George loves the sound of his own voice so he’d be blabbin’ all night.

That’s why Rosie chose “Norm” from cheers. He’ll attrack attention but not to the point where you’re completely ignored. Myself, up until last week my answer would have been that David Silver guy from 90210. I figured if we hung out he’d eventually introduce me to his girlfriend Megan Fox. However, they’re now no longer an item so David Silver is off the list.

We asked listeners to call in with who they’d like to party with. The results:

Vince Vaughn
Owen Wilson
Tommy Lee
Keith Richards
Jack Black
Gene Simmons
Will Farrell
Sean Connery
Dane Cook
Charlie Sheen
Nick Cage
Seth Roegan
Kevin Smith
Neil Patrick Harris

The most common answer by far was Hugh Hefner. To me that makes no sense. Hanging out at Hugh’s mansion - that makes sense. Hugh doesn’t need to be there.

Click on the headline above and submit the name of the celeb you’d like to party with most.
