Happy 4th Of July

July 2nd, 2008 by Drew Bland

Have a great weekend.  Hope it’s extra long for you.  Remember…  your HR department by law has to believe you when you say your sick so it is very possible to have a 4 day weekend. 

 Be safe, have fun and keep it KOOL!

James Bond - Sean or Daniel? That is the question…

June 30th, 2008 by Drew Bland

Personal opinion…  Daniel Craig is the best James Bond ever.  Yes you heard that right!  Even better than Sean Connery IMO.   Who is your favorite James Bond?  What is your favorite James Bond movie?

 Also, check this out.  The new James Bond movie due out in November.  It may only be available on the web for a short period of time so enjoy.

Mine is… happening this July.  My wife and I are going to visit our 2nd favorite city… Vancouver, Canada.  This is an absolutly amazing city with everything you love from Chicago, New York or San Fran but it’s clean.  Never been there or seen it… Check it out… Vancouver WebCam…  What a beautiful city.   My wife plans on spending to her hearts content on Robson St. the shoping district that spans the entire city.  I on the other hand plan on eating and eating and eating.  We want to visit Vij’s - voted the best Indian food on the planet.  Yikes!  We’ve never had Indian food before it should be exciting.  Also, we plan on riding bikes through Stanley Park.  Yes, Stanley like the Stanley Cup.  It’s Canada what do you expect.   We also have day trips to Whistler and Victoria planned.   Should be fun. 

Thanks for letting me share with you.  now it’s your turn. 

Also, check out the new cruise ship from Royal Caribbean.  Oasis of the Seas.  This thing is HUGE!  How about a week or three on board that sucker…  KOOL World Tour #50?  I think maybe…

KOOL Covers - American Woman

June 16th, 2008 by Drew Bland

It came to my attention one afternoon when talking with Greg “3rd Degree” Burns and he mentioned he was listening to my show on KOOL and had no clue that the Red Hot Chili Peppers did a cover of “Love Rollercoaster.”  That continued into a converstaion that Billy Preston’s final recording before he passed was with the Chili Peppers latest album “Venus and Mars” (2006 Album of the Year)…  There are a lot of songs we play at KOOL that have been ripped off and copied by numerous different artists.  Click on the category Covers to get the most current postings about this topic.

Today we look at the Guess Who’s American Woman…
By Lenny Kravitz

And for giggles and an American Woman you might want to stay away from…
