Happy Birthday, Julia Roberts

Does Jon really have that prominent a Jay Leno chin?

PopSugar has a bunch of pics up for Julia’s 44th, this was one of them.

"Julia gave Jon Bon Jovi a squeeze at the Young Guns II premiere in July 1990."

Thanks, Mys, for dropping this in my inbox.

Please rise, for the singing of our national anthem...

Yep, the second stop on the Lost Highway Newark show-set.  The set that I waited to buy tickets for November 1st thinking it was the last show, only to see five more shows added after the fact.  Not that I'm irritated or anything.

That trip was my first non-business solo trip (to anywhere remotely interesting anyway) and the start of a for-real deep-seated love affair with the band.  It was after that show that "Hath" really came into her own.

In today's WW selection, Richie takes the second verse (yay).

Let's Ride!






And of course, as always, you can download from my mediafire.

And, thanks to RockJunkieVideo, you can see the performance for yourself:

Richie in Ft. Lauderdale this December

Thanks for the heads-up, Catte. I will SO not be in Florida this December :(

The Fort Lauderdale Harley-Davidson Bikers Bash benefiting kids of the Boys and Girls Clubs, is a weekend long party bringing together motorcycle enthusiasts of all ages, backgrounds and interests and riding all makes and types of bikes.

There will be a live stream of the convention, but I have no idea if that means they'll stream the Richie & Richie performance. I guess we'll find out!

Soul Kitchen Interview ~ Making a Difference

Hugh in the News

A little late (as the event has already passed) but still:

The Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA) has announced musician Hugh McDonald as the Honorary Chairperson for the Salt Lake City Walk4Hearing™ on Saturday, October 15, 2011.

The Walk4Hearing, produced by the HLAA, is the largest series of walks for hearing loss in America. Every year thousands of walkers of all ages form teams and walk in their communities to raise money for programs and services for people with hearing loss, and to eradicate the stigma associated with hearing loss, and raise public awareness about the need for prevention, treatment, and regular screenings throughout life.

Each year, the local volunteer organizing committee recruits a local public figure to serve as Honorary Chairperson to lead walkers by personal example, recruit teams, fundraise and help build awareness about the walk to families, professionals, and organizations in Salt Lake City.

For 2011, session musician and Bon Jovi bassist Hugh McDonald has been announced to serve as Honorary Chairperson. “Hearing loss is not only a reality of being a professional musician but our performances can also impact our fans and audiences,” said Hugh McDonald. “I am excited about the opportunity to bring awareness to people of all ages about what resources are available to those with hearing loss and what can be done to prevent hearing loss.”
