August 23, 2010 Music News from the Rock Station, 92-7 WQLZ by Bishop Zombie plays God Rob Zombie is lending more than his directing talents to the big screen. In the soon-to-be film festival favorite “Super,” Rob Zombie's voice will be the voice of God. The film, directed by James Gunn, stars Raine Wilson (better known as Dwight form “The Office”) as a dweeb who ends up becoming a super hero. His wife, played by Liv Tyler, hooks up with a drug dealer, played by Keven Bacon, and the story continues to develop from there. Ellen Page also stars in this quirky comedy as Wilson's sidekick. The film, which features Zombie as the voice of God, surely will be a huge hit with the film festival circuit. “Super” premiers at the Toronto Film Festival next month. Questions answered Fan submitted questions were answered by three bands that are hooking up for a fall tour.

August 21, 2010 Your three hours of influence will be interrupted this weekend as WMAY makes room for NASCAR©. The show will be live however, but from 4 to 5:30 CST on 970 WMAY and online at http://www.wmay.com (click listen live). Since NASCAR© will take the AM airwaves in central Illinois, half of Saturday Session will be a best of and online only. But here are a few things Saturday Session will cover, and you're reactions are always encouraged. Be sure to have 217.629.7970 dialed and your live stream on at WMAY dot com. Wiretapping Illinois Is it illegal to videotape police in Illinois? What about taking snapshots or how about a covert, but in public, audio recording? Do peace officers working in the public capacity have a reasonable expectation of privacy? What is the Illinois Eavesdropping Act? Well, The ACLU is fighting to answer some of these questions. Be sure to tune in tonight to hear about the suit brought up in Chicago and several other stories concerning your rights to hold people in the public domain accountable. They can tape and tap you in public, but you can't tape and tap them in public? We not only have lost our rights, America (and Illinois), we have lost our minds! Speaking of wiretapping ... Blago verdict One hold-our juror will cost taxpayers hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars! Who is this hold-out juror, Jo Ann Chiakulas, and how did she make it on the jury? Moving forward, prosecutors are demanding a speedy and quick retrial, but Blagojevich may want to delay it as long as he can so he can continue to play off reality TV's cheapened stardom to continue to taint the jury pool. This whole thing has been botched from the get go! Should there be a new approach to white-collar crimes? Combat operations stop, but the GWOT's 'bout to pop Any moment, a crisis could lead to conflict and America will have to step in (unless we change our foreign policy ... remember that word CHANGE?). After over 7 years in Iraq (based off prior existing war plans ... 9/11 was a great pretext), the final combat troops have withdrawn. This is great news ... or is it? It must be understood what is really happening here. The US is now handing over security operations to 50,000 "advisors" and thousands of private contractors. One question about the mercenaries ... Would they not profit from continued chaos in that region require their "services" to be used even more? Meanwhile Afghan President Karzi is demanding that private contractors be removed from the country. In a related note, while some reports indicate that an "unexpected" development in the Wikileaks saga now has the whistle-blower website founder being charged with rape and molestation, many knew that these types of character attacks were almost certain. Even if Assange is arrested, tried, and convicted, does that take away the impact that Wikileaks has on the public's perception of war? Bilderberg in the mainstream Nearly half of Cuba's Communist newspaper was taken up by Fidel Castro's thoughts about a book he read by Daniel Estulin all about the Bilderberg Group. This caught the mainstream media off guard to the point of complete stupidity and child-like rambling. Why does the mainstream write this story off? Not the story that an anti-hero world leader is expressing his concerns of the New World Order, but that the western world's elite get together every year in secret for policy decision discussions? Be sure to tune in to Saturday Session with Bishop online after 5:30! During the online only best of segment, you'll hear a Saturday Session conversation with the author of several books about Club Bilderberg, Daniel Estulin. Obama: the CIA asset? If there is time, maybe we'll talk about the bizarre connections Obama's relatives have to the Central Intelligence Agency and what that means. This is pretty far out there and extremely dense stuff! Here are some preliminary reports from www.veteranstoday.com about Wayne Madsen's Obama "bombshell." Happy trudging! Contact Greg Bishop can be contacted many different ways. Check out Bishop's Google Profile (after Session's conversation with Katherine and Google working with the CIA, who knows how much bigger Google will get) to get links and phone numbers.

August 20, 2010 Music News from the Rock Station, 92-7 WQLZ by Bishop Thinking reunions Fans of Sebastian Bach and Skid Row may be saddened by the news that Bach doesn't foresee a reunion of the 80s hair legends anytime soon. In an interview Bach said he just doesn't know the band anymore. “I think of Skid Row the same way you might think of picking up your high-school yearbook,” Bach said. “You have affection for what happened 30 years ago, but you look at the yearbook and you go, 'Oh, cool,' and you shut it, and it's today” Meanwhile, the prospect of a Black Sabbath reunion would complete Ozzy's life, according to the Dark Prince. In a recent interview Ozzy talked about being sober, performing live and about getting together with some old band mates. “To be honest with you,” Ozzy said “I would love to do a killer Black Sabbath album. It would make my life, my whole thing, round up perfectly for me.” More video Tuesday, Steven Tyler was hip-checked off a Toronto stage by his own band mate, Joe Perry and the video is priceless. Now, there is another video of something that happened five days earlier. This incident happened August 12th during a New York performance of “Sweet Emotion.” Tyler was up on the drum platform swaying back-and-forth with his mic stand. Perry was just beside him on the lower part of the stage. Tyler spin-jumps down and continues to swing his stand back-and-forth and then you hear a thud as the microphone knocks Perry on the top of the head. Tyler looks with concern as Perry ducks down in pain and then throws his guitar into his amps and walks off stage. Dude, you're in your 60s and you're acting like a toddler. Suck it up, pansy! On the Tyler/American Idol front, apparently the ink is dry, though it has not been announced by Fox. Aerosmith bassist Tom Hamilton said the band will be working around Tyler's AI schedule when working on the new Aerosmith album.

August 19, 2010 Music News from the Rock Station, 92-7 WQLZ by Bishop Going down ... again A year after an epic fall off the Sturgis stage, Aerosmith has had yet another off-staging incident. Steven Tyler reportedly was knocked off a stage in Toronto Tuesday, not by dancing around as was the case last year at Sturgis, but by his guitar player Joe Perry. In the middle of “Love in an Elevator,” Perry hip-checked Tyler causing the 62-year-old to teeter of the stage into the crowd. Best thing about this is it was caught on tape! Some think they look like your great grandmother who has smoked for years, but their behavior as of late would indicate they were 5-years-old. UFO sighting Ozzy was able to conjure up something out of this world at an Ozzfest show in California Saturday ... it was an unidentified flying object! Spectators said that a triangular aircraft with round tips and flashing lights that was much higher in the air than conventional aircraft was seen hovering over the concert for a moment before it ducked down below the tree line. Interestingly enough, this is not the first time a UFO was sighted at an Ozzfest. Back in 2004, there was what the History Channel calls one of the best documented UFO sightings as concertgoers headed to their cars outside Tinley Park they saw a similar triangular craft hovering in the air for 20 minutes. Topping the charts Zach Wylde has something to gloat about. Black Label Society's most recent album “Order of the Black” has landed at No. 4 on the Billboard top 200. That's near the top of the charts with only 33,000 sales in the first week of sales. Catch the Music Minute every weekday with the Free Beer and Hot Wings Show on 92-7 WQLZ, the Rock Station. |
