Rascal Flatts with Oprah, plus a little Nashville fun
What a cool surprise to hear from Gary LeVox of Rascal Flatts yesterday – he called me from OPRAH backstage on Michigan Avenue. His most diva demand? What song did Oprah *personally* request of the guys?
Find out when they actually found out they were coming to Chicago (crazy!), plus much more … the entire conversation is HERE.
Also, a B I G thanks, again, to you … US 99.5 has been nominated for the CMA Major Market Station of the Year! The awards will take place in Nashville in November, and we couldn’t do any of it without you!
Enjoy this pea soup weather today, and we’ll chat soon.
The Rascal Flatts Kidnapping, plus Chicago Slaughter football
I knew that Rascal Flatts were stopping by yesterday for two hours, I just didn’t know they weren’t planning to include ME!
If you missed any of the fun, hear all the conversations HERE!
This Saturday night, I’m heading to the Chicago Slaughter arena-football game as part of their Celebrity Half-Time HiJinks series - care to join me?
Hope to see ya there!
LOST, Rascal Flatts and baseball
A few things today:
1) The new LOST BLOG is now posted online @ US99.com here … great episode last night, plus I am diggin’ all the VW Buses from the ’70s Dharma Initiative!
2) Mark your calendars – Tuesday, April 7th, all 3 members of Rascal Flatts will join me in-studio!
They’ll be in Chicago to chat about their new CD “Unstoppable,” which comes out that day. It[s going to be B I G!
3) Also, I’m on vacation starting tomorrow … the entire Walker family is headed west for a bit of Sox & Cubs & Cardinals spring training baseball. Roy still hasn’t decided who he’s rooting for.
Any suggestions?

On My Mind...
- @dealestate that home sale you just tweeted, was purchased with $1.2million CASH? Seriously?
- @TrishBiondo I had a dream you were live tweeting #SB46 last night. Then again, I had 1200 tweets pop in between 7-10:30p (!), so maybe not
- Most people drink beer on Super Bowl Sunday. Jill just wants a chocolate malt #thatisheraddiction #beerme #cheerstoyou
