There's two holidays in February, Valentine's Day and Groundhog Day. I'm not a big fan of either one of them, but I especially hate Valentine's Day, so I'm going to put up links this Sunday to Groundhog Day. More specifically, the links are to "Groundhog Day," the movie, which I think is one of the greatest movies of all time. Oh and there's a link to the musical as well, which has gotten rave reviews and I'm hoping to see it on my next trip to New York. And of course there's the MBIP Coming Attractions about what's happening here next week!

I’ve been doing a weekly MBIP feature on the radio show The Church Of Rock which is broadcast live, worldwide out of Oregon on Sunday nights. Every week I pick a song and give a little talk about it before the song is played on the show. The hosts of the show are Rev. Derek Moody (some of you know him as Bloody Mess) and Sister Tracy. The show starts at 9PM CST and my segment will air at 9:30PM sharp! The song I chose this week is a New York Dolls tune and I’m going to tell a story of when I met David Johansen in New York City. Be there or be L7! You can listen live by streaming from the KSKQ website right here!
