I stumbled across a hero of mine just yesterday. Although I never met him or even knew his name, I knew his voice. (First a little background)

I grew up in Northwest Indiana and listened religiously to WLS-AM "The Big 89." Amongst the pimple pad and automobile adds, one commercial that was hard to miss featured a reverberating duo that would say "SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY at Smokin' US 30 Drag Strip" in Merrillville Indiana ...come see Funny Car Champion Jungle Jim" Lieberman face Don "The Snake" Prudhomme and his 7 second 72 Baracuda... The commercials would always end ... at US 30 Dragstrip where the Great One's RUN. RUN. RUN.

I learned yesterday that one of those voices was a Chicagoan by the name of Jan Gabriel. Jan was the creator of that style of dual-voice, layered reverb Drag Racing commercials. Jan parlayed that style into several racing shows over the next few decades.

Though I've never met the man, Jan helped mold my passion for the sport of NHRA Drag Racing. BTW that strip was just a few miles from my home in Hobart, Indiana and would hear the fuel cars as they blazed down the quarter mile in the muggy summer night air. Ah there's a memory I'll hold on to.

Thanks Jan... wherever you are...

-Rik out

]]> <![CDATA[Local soldier gave all...Protesters are coming!]]> 4347 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 19:59:55 -0600 My friend Butch over at the VFW in Troy told me that all bikes are welcome to honor this soldier and family for their sacrifice for our freedom. 

He told me of an organized group of protestors that are coming in from a church in Kansas that screams offensive things to the mourners...displaying signs with horrific, vile, hurtful words.  If that's how they want to use the "free speech" ammendment...so be it. 

These people will try and get in view of the family that is grieving like no family should. 

18 wheelers, combines, septic trucks, fire truck, buses...any large vehicle can be used to shield the family...Just like in Extreme Home Makeover...you'll be hearing "MOVE THAT BUS" right in front of those protestors.

 

TO BE INVOLVED: Show up Saturday morning by 8am and park behind the funeral home...look for leather vests...they'll help you the rest of the way.  The hard details of locations and times are below in a posting I found on a blog.   The protestors have permits and legally can be there...we're just trying to protect the family.

 

Any questions call Butch at 618-520-5212.

 

The family of SFC Gary J. Vasquez has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to show honor and respect for his service to our Nation.  Gary was on his third tour in Afghanistan.  He served in the 82nd Airborne Division and was an Airborne Ranger before he became a Green Beret of the U.S. Special Forces.

]]> <![CDATA[Do you trust your kids?]]> 4331 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 06:37:02 -0600 As heard on the Cornbread Morning Show, Ford is introducing a new feature on its cars called MyKey that allows parents to control & set limits on their teen's driving habits.

The key will allow parents to limit speed to 80 mph, require teens to put seatbelts on before the radio is turned on & limit the volume on the radio to 44 percent or less that of a standard vehicle.

Cornbread says he would not use this with his kids. He says we should trust our kids, give them the freedom to make decisions & even some mistakes.

I don't have a teenager - yet - but I guarantee you my mom would have considered this option. Teenager drivers scare the crap out of us moms.

What do you think? Would you use it as a parent? Does it mean we don't our kids if we use it?

]]> <![CDATA[What do I have against Sarah Palin?]]> 4299 Mon, 06 Oct 2008 20:21:01 -0600 Cornbread keeps trying to figure out why I'm not over the moon for Sarah Palin. I guess because she's a woman and I'm a woman that means I should instinctively (whether I'll admit it or not) want her to be in the White House.

It's a valid question. He's even had me wondering...what do I have against the woman?

I wouldn't say that we are aligned on polictical issues, but I honestly don't think that's why I'm not a fan.

I read an article today that says women do not like female celebrities. Some say it's our natural insecurities. I'm not proud of it, but if we're being real maybe that's part of it. It doesn't help that men drool over these women. I've heard countless references amongst my male friends to Mrs. Palin's 'assets.'

Maureen Rice, the editor of Psychologies magazine says "We don't like it if women have success very easily. We like talent, tenacity, savvy, a woman who has earned it. And we like a journey -- women who have been through the mill and back."

Let's be honest. Sarah Palin's star has risen faster than even Obama's. And this is a woman whose resume includes more pageants than politics. It's possible - because we share the same gender - that I hold her to a higher standard than let's say a male celebrity - i.e. Obama.

Maybe I'm missing something. I'm not saying she's not capable. I don't think we really know yet. I do question the timing.

This my new Sarah Palin defense. Earn my respect. Where's the journey? Then maybe I'll join the Alaskan Princess club.

Disclaimer Added: This is not intended to be a political blog but more a discussion of why women may or may not like female celebrities. Sarah Palin is used as an example.

]]> <![CDATA[Congrats Dierks!]]> 4289 Mon, 06 Oct 2008 13:09:19 -0600 Dierks Bentley is a proud new dad, PEOPLE has learned exclusively.

Bentley, 32, and wife Cassidy, 33, welcomed their first child, Evalyn Day Bentley, just before midnight on Saturday at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, where the Bentleys live. A midwife was in attendance.

The new arrival weighed 7 lbs., 10 oz., and the happy parents say they'll call her "Evie."

The baby was named for her maternal grandmother Evalyn, while the middle name was chosen because "we just liked the word 'Day' – it's a hopeful word," says the new dad.

Bentley's publicist says the "Trying to Stop Your Leaving" singer – who announced his wife's pregnancy in May ("Cass's eggo is preggo!" he blogged) – is overjoyed by the prospect of fatherhood.

"She is the most beautiful little girl you have ever seen," Bentley told the rep. "Cass did great, and I'm so happy!"

Bentley met his future wife when she was Cassidy Black – and they were both in the eighth grade at middle school in Phoenix, the singer's hometown.
