Greg And Dan Unplugged

 Brought The Love!

As most of you loyal readers know, I attended the Greg and Dan Unplugged Show last Saturday night.

The reason it was "unplugged" is because they did their awesome radio show LIVE, in front of a standing room only audience, but not plugged into the WMBD radio transmitter! 

How was it, you ask? Think hilarious...think bizarre (Abraham Lincoln made an appearance), think expert performances...but most of all...wait for it...wait for it...there was LOVE!!! 

The room was filled with love from Greg and Dan fans flowing to Greg and Dan, and love flowing from Greg and Dan to the fans! 

It had as much love as that Woodstock festival we all went to, in our minds! 

That's me, way in the back!

However, since this blog is centered on ME, I've been chomping at the bit to tell you, aside from the love from Donna, my grandchildren and stuff, I felt more  love from Greg and Dan on that special night than I've ever experienced in my whole stinkin' life!!!

I honestly never expected them to play a BUNCH of my songs that I'd written for the Greg and Dan Show, and thank me in front of a roomful of witnesses! No, not Jehovah's Witnesses! 

I was hoping that when I pass on to my heavenly condo, they would play a few of my songs in remembrance of their Official Songwriter....

What a WONDERFUL SURPRISE to realize they weren't waiting for my demise!! I think I made a little poem, there!

It was a dream come true for me! The love is still pulsing through my psyche, and I'm hoping I don't wake up and realize it didn't REALLY happen. 

I just had to share the greatest day of my life with you guys!!! 

Disclaimer: When I say "greatest day of my life," I'm speaking non-family, non-spiritual, non-grandkids, non-meeting Donna days! However, in the future, if someone asks me, "what was the greatest day of your life," Feb. 15, 2020 may be the first thing to pop in my head, until I take a step back and think about the wonderful events of my personal life that cannot be measured, Although, Feb. 15, 2020 was a GREAT, SPECIAL night!!!

The popular Greg and Dan Show will be performing in front of a live, inebriated audience, at the Betty Jayne Brimmer Center For The Performing Arts  (BJCFPA) , at 1327 East Kelly, St. Peoria Heights, Il. at 7:30 pm. Feb. 15, 2020. 

This ain't gonna be their regular radio show, folks! This will be a raucous, reckless, freewheelin' frenzy of funny, frenetic frivolity!!!

Here are 10 reasons for attending this monumental event tomorrow:

1. As an additional token of your love for your significant other on the day after Valentine's Day! It never hurts to have a backup plan, unless the silk flowers didn't quite do the trick...if you know what I mean. 

2. To show Greg and Dan how grateful you are that they get up every day at 4 am to entertain us, and edify us about EVERYTHANG under the sun...from impeachment to Emo Philips...from legalized pot to pot holes...from the meaning of thrombosis to the MEANING OF LIFE!!!

3. They promise surprises! It could be like Oprah's surprises! "You get a car, and YOU get a car..." Or maybe it will be more like "you get a party horn, and YOU get a party horn..." but, HEY, it's more your gonna get at home...if you know what I mean. (wink wink)

4. Greg and Dan may reveal talents you never dreamed they possess in your WILDEST dreams! Talents that cannot be displayed on the radio! Talents that may be illegal! Talents that will blow your freakin' minds!!! Or not.

5. Adult beverages will be available at a reasonable cost, but that's not the impotent thing! Chex mix will be on the tables for FREE!! At least it was last time we were there, and I have faith it will be there tomorrow night! 

Disclaimer: The writer of this blog assumes no responsibility if you discover no Chex Mix on your table tomorrow night. I'm only going by my last experience at the Betty Jayne when they had TONS of Chex Mix on all the tables, which I readily partook of with reckless abandon!

6. You'l be able to hobnob with the Greg and Dan crew, like historian/traffic dude, Ken Zurski, the lovely newsgirl/songstress, Julia Bradley, and, hopefully, the adorable producer Corey! In addition to the rabid, fun loving Greg and Dan fans who make it all feel like one, big, warm, homespun family that makes our actual relatives seem pretty dull. 

7. We never know when "climate change" will emulsificate us into oblivion, according to "climate change advocates...

...so why not live a little before we experience "climate change" in whatever form it may take, by laughing it up at the "Greg and Dan Unplugged Show!"

8. It will give us a "take this to work with you" event to brag about! When your coworkers ask what you did over the weekend, would you rather say, "Watched TV" or "I went to the hilarious and surprise filled, Greg and Dan Unplugged Show that genuinely changed my life for the BETTER!!!"

Example of life changing event.

9. It's a good reason to try out your new GPS gadget, if you have absolutely no idea where the BJCFPA is located! Or your OLD GPS gadget. Or a map, if you have no GPS gadget, like me. Or just come to my house and follow me over there...but then you'd have to find my house and the whole rigmarole starts all over again!

You're like me in loving the magnificent history of this iconic radio station! Right? Right? And how could you NOT love the beloved Greg and Dan Show and support their new adventure into madcap, screwball zaniness!! 

See ya there, folks!!

Out Of This World Wednesday

New Beginnings

The beautiful/foreboding planet of Glirka is the abode of our universally acclaimed heroes, Gary and Rosie. Who are the most awarded, beloved Glirkazoids of all tom!

Okay, these folks are NOT Rosie and Gary, but that's all we got for ya! 

Ever since Rosie and Gary were little baby Glirkazoids, they've enjoyed the special uniqueness of this planet ... so far, far away from from this place we like to call Earth. Glirkazoids call our planet "David Bowie" for some mysterious reason.

Burl Ives, who very few folks knew was a shape shifting alien from Glirka's neighboring planet of Guurlerallizitsaclaqy, wrote a song that perfectly described Glirka, where he visited as a young urchin. (and I do mean urchin, as in sea urchin)

See the resemblance to Burl?

You may be familiar with the song if you're over 50...

Yes! Glirka is the REAL LIFE, AWESOMELY DELIGHTFUL "Big Rock Candy Mountain!" 

Of course, Burl never mentions the constant battles with vicious alien lifeforms who desire their precious, delicious planet of Glirka...the giant goolahbirds who enjoy feasting on our diminutive friends...the ear splitting music that is emitted from the Glirkazoidian mountains when you least expect it...and the weekly, random color changes of everything, that can cause some confusion, especially at traffic signals, but has eliminated racism. 

This is a high speed example of a normally slow process on Glirka. 

Even with these few minor irritations, Rosie and Gary adore their home planet! (kind of like people from New Your City with that love/hate relationship for the Big Apple) 

You need to watch this clip, folks↑

We slowly pan in on our super duper heroes, as they bask in the warmth of the blue sunshine of Glirka, whilst sipping on Purple Glirf cocktails, and picking off  goolahbirds with their atomic slingshots.

Goolahbird↑

Rosie - "I love it when we have blue sunshine, Gary. It's so nice and relaxing, isn't it?"

She blasts another goolahbird as she's speaking.

Gary - "Bah humbug!"

Rosie - "Gary! Why can't you ever chillax? You remind me of Don Knotts!" (Glirkazoids love Earth's culture)

Gary - "Even though Glirka is the envy of every planet dominating creature throughout all the universes and dimensions, I get kinda bored (Gary disintegrates two goolahbirds at once) when we're not on an exciting adventure into the unknown..known...known...known."(those were echoing unknowns if you didn't quite get it)

Rosie - "Enjoy your vacation, my friend! We both know that we deserve..."

At that instant, Led Zeppelin music starts BLASTING out of the Glirkazoidian mountain range! I think it's the Immigrant song...

"...SOME QUIET, RELAXING R AND R FROM TOM TO TOM!! NOW YOU GOT ME SAYING TOM INSTEAD OF TIME, YOU BAD EXAMPLE OF A SUPER HERO!!"

Gary - "WHAT?!!  I CAN'T HEAR YOU BETWEEN THE ZEPPELIN MUSIC, ATOMIC SLINGSHOT BLASTS, AND THOSE INVADING SPACESHIPS FIRING AT US!"

Rosie - "NEVERMIND!"

Gary - "WHAT?!!"

Imagine the sheer delight of living on lovely Glirka, with Gary and Rosie! However, I can Shirley see how boring it could be with the non-eventful happenings taking place all over da plaze, in comparison to the extremely exciting missions that our Glirkazoid warriors experience 98% of the tom!

Speaking of Shirley , here's about 2 hours of her. Hope you don't get bored!
