July 9, 2010 Music News from the Rock Station,92-7 WQLZ by Bishop New tour & controversial mention Buckcherry has hit the big time! They've got an album on the way August 3rd and a new tour with Nickelback set to kick off in September. The next time Nickleback comes around on tour, they'll be joined by the bad boys from LA. The closest they'll be coming to central Illinois is either Nashville, TN, or Fr. Wayne, IN, September 15th & 16th, respectively. But what is most fascinating is the mention of how Buckcherry is credited with providing the alternate title for a book written by an Iranian woman and her account of being a roadie for rock stars. This book will surely set the middle east in flames with the sexually liberating content and title.

September 28th, Ozzy will be joined by a whole slew of bands that have yet to be announced, for a show in Israel. Tickets are the equivalent to $110 US (425 Israel New Shekels). One band that has been confirmed is Korn, who won't be touring with the festival in the states but will appear in Israel. On an aside, Korn's forthcoming album “Korn III: Remember Who You Are” is streaming online to the right of this story. It is interesting to see how Ozzfest and Korn have chosen not to boycott Israel as several other big-time artists have. Elvis Costello, Carlos Santana, and the Pixies, just to name a few, have all boycotted playing in Israel because of their attack on an aid flotilla to the Palestinians settlers in the West Bank. Another related note: Korn will be featured this Sunday night on WQLZ at 7pm for a one hour special hosted by Matt Pinfield. Don't miss it!
