Did you go to the Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band show on Sunday? Was that not ‘the’ definition of a ‘no-holds-barred- ROCK SHOW? Arcade Fire joining Bruce on stage was pretty cool too. They sang ‘State Trooper’ together, and the next day I searched Youtube to see if there was any footage of Bruce and Arcade Fire together on stage …..and here’s the link! Check it out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5bT1_niUgk

Yay!! Three cheers for Ottawa!!!! Bruce Springsteen’s Ottawa visit has been a top story in Rolling Stone magazine TWICE. When he was here a couple of summers ago for his solo ‘Devils and Dust’ tour, Scotiabank Place was hit by lightning, the power went out, and Bruce just kept playing with minimal lights and a couple of generator-powered amplifiers. It made for an incredibly memorable show, because Bruce was undaunted and had a great sense of humour about the whole thing.
Don’t forget, Bon Jovi tickets go on sale this Saturday morning at 10 am. Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora and the band play Scotiabank Place on Saturday November 17th. The last time I saw Bon Jovi, it was in Montreal and Heather Locklear was at the side of the stage. I don’t think she’s going to come to the Ottawa show.
p.s. we will be giving away Bon Jovi tickets on BOB FM, so stay tuned!!
If you have an extra 1.5 million dollars that’s not being used to pay hydro bills, here’s something you can buy! How about Orson Welles’ Oscar, for the movie ‘Citizen Kane’?! Sothebys auction house expects to fetch around 1.5 million dollars for the actual Oscar, won by Orson Welles for writing the movie that critics call ‘the best movie ever made’. Not sure I agree with that. I finally got around to renting ‘Citizen Kane’ one day because I felt that I should watch the ‘greatest movie ever made’. Huh? I found it incredibly boring. And it wasn’t even in colour! What a rip-off.
But if you really think about it, why would you want to own SOMEONE ELSE’s award? If you had someone else’s curling trophy or someone else’s baseball MVP award, or someone else’s ‘debating club’ trophy, maybe you could pass it off as your own. But it would be next to impossible to convince a guest that you won an Oscar for writing ‘Citizen Kane’. Best movie ever made. Next to ‘Blades of Glory’.

I was at a grocery store the other day, when a firefighter handed me a brochure. This month is ‘Fire Safety’ month, and its very important to make sure your entire family has an escape route if you see or smell smoke or flames. Taking a few minutes to get a plan together now can save serious injury should a fire break out. I thanked the firefighter for passing along this very important public service. Then I wondered if there is a Firefighter auction coming up. If anyone knows any details (I can’t seem to find any details) please let me know, so I can pass the information along to others. There are only a couple of months left in everyone’s Firefighters of Ottawa calendar and yikes! We need a new one.
