98.5 KOME – Fan Blog

I have had a few cable companies over the years, both here in Kentucky and back in California but there is really only one company that I was sad about losing; Charter Communications. Well Charter still reigns the leader in Cable because they do things that are geared towards the customer, which is a cable companies reason for being in the first place.

They have had some awesome contests in the last few months, from giving away XBox 360s and even Hybrid Cars. They are back at it, this time the contest is even better; you can register to win a 22 inch flat screen HDTV every day in the month of April. The contest is open to all new and upgrading customers.

All you have to do is go to Charter.com and then register for the contest. While you are there, check out the really nice bundles they offer, these bundles are how the customer saves a ton of cash. And if you go and order service from Charter this month, you will automatically registered to win a grand prize package consisting of a 52 inch LCD flat screen HDTV, a Home Theater System and a year of free Charter Digital Cable Service, that is one sweet contest.

There is more to Charter though than the contests that they have ( although they are awe inspiring) they give you great service and have really good Customer Service. I am a past customer for a few years and I would never have let them go if I had been given a choice in the matter, but that is politics of a local nature for ya.

Bottom line is, if you have an opportunity to try Charter Cable in your area I say go for it, I think you will be as happy as I always was. You can also check them out on twitter if you are a user, they can be followed @chartercom.

This year is going to be stellar for us 80’s Rock fans, with bands like Kingdom Come, Alice Cooper and *sigh* the Scorpions touring, here is the official band website listing with the tour dates ~

and if that does not whet your appetite for destructive music, how about some Dokken? They were touring up until the middle of March but the official website does not have any new dates listed. I have emailed the webmaster to see if there might be any dates added, I hope so! Too bad, wanted to hear Dream Warriors live.

 

And then we have the beloved Krokus, who was not a Midnight Maniac? I was, oh and what fun it was.But sadly, according to the Official site for the band, the US Tour has been cancelled and no reason given. Too bad, but I will keep an eye out incase that changes,

And then, come June we will all be treated to Def Leppard on Tour with Poison and Cheap Trick.

Another band I loved to listen to, KIX. I loved hearing Don’t Close Your Eyes, made me cry every time. They are touring in a few places through July, but there is one date that is chock full of rock bands ~ from their website:

Sat 5.30. Meriweather Post Pavillion M3 Rock Festival with Twisted Sister, Ratt, Extreme, Dokken, Slaughter, Y&T, Gilby Clarke, Keel, L.A. Guns, Jani Lane of Warrant, Jetboy, XYZ & Bullet Boys, 10475 Little Patuxent Parkway, Columbia MD, Kix will play on the main stage at 5pm map & tickets

Oh and what about XYZ any tours past the above? We will have to wait and see.

What about Warrant, any news? I know for a fact that Jani was said to be heartedly sick and tired of Cherry Pie ( yes, I slum and go to VH1 once in a while ) anyway, Jani is off doing his own thing and he seems really happy about that, if you read his blog you will see he is up to all sorts of stuff that is decidedly NOT Warrant related. Good for you. And yes, Warrant is touring as well, which can be checked with at their website – Warrantweb. 

Sadly, no Cherry Pie will be on this website, because the MN have all the videos over at Utube with embedding disabled by request. Funny thing, back before any of these bands were beloved and made the Music Industry who they are today, you the Record Company would have been tickled pink for anyone to have been a fan, now… you think someone having an embedded video of your bands some how harms you? Gah, that is a post for another time, sorry I got off track there.

Any who, I am sure I will have more tours to post about in the next week, this will do for now Donkey.

 

And for tonight’s video picks? Well… who did I write about today? ;-p

Kingdom Come ~ Get it On, Live ’88′

 

Dokken ~ Dream Warriors * with Patricia Arguette and Robert Englund ( Freddie)

 

Peace my friends,
