Things will be a little different at Dave-FM in a GOOD way. Â Starting at 9AM Monday we are kicking off the “Continuous Music MARA-ton”. Â What this means for you is that we go commercial free from 9 until 10:20 (or longer). You’ll get lots of music and lots of ME which is why it was named a MARA-thon (har har). Â Do me a favor and spread the word! Also, let me know where you work so I can give you a shout out from where YOU listen.
That the #1 sleaze bag of the year (besides Tiger) John Edwards was such a Dave Matthews fan? Â The Huffington Post reports that John Edwards had once talked with his mistress Rielle Hunter about someday having a rooftop New York wedding with a Dave Matthews Band performance. Â Dave Matthews has responded and you can see what he had to say here. Â Dave Matthews will be on the Grammy Awards tonight along with the pants on the ground guy. Make it stop!!!
This weather is killing me! Â Besides taking Charlie to Fernbank to see the IMAX movie (good–but expensive!) we haven’t done anything today. Â Blech. Â This is kind of depressing because we almost went to the Grammy’s. Â Long story. Â I’m not bitter (OK maybe a little). Â I’m over it and will be watching in my PJ’s. Â Can’t wait to see what Lady Gaga is going to do. Â Ever since her show in December I’ve been OBSESSED.
It’s been reported that Alicia Keys and her new bf Swizz Beatz just bought Lenny Kravitz’s NYC loft. And in light of the economy she got it for a pretty good deal (if you’re a millionare). Huffington Post has a slide show of what it looks like (um, fabulous!).
Is that a picture of a young Michael Jackson on the wall??
It was announced today that J.D Salinger passed away. Out of all the books we had to read in high school Catcher In The Rye was my all time favorite.  Since it’s all about teen angst and rebellion,  Friday’s Radio Free Lunch will be songs from rebelious rockers or rebel songs.

Tonight as we wait for the snow/sleet/freezing rain (?!?!) I’ll be at the World Of Wheels at the Georgia World Congress Center. It’s such a bummer that Yvonne (she’s away on a Dave FM trip) can’t go because legendary Henry Winkler will be there all weekend!!! He is the greatest and she is like his #1 fan. When the morning show interviewed him today she was in tears (of joy). Check back later this weekend as we will have a special message for her and an interview with the Fonz. I understand how she feels, I LOVE him too.
If love to ROCK here’s a family friendly event. Check out the School of Rock tonight. This is a bunch of Atlanta kids who jam in the name of ROCK. Love this!!
Heads up if you live in the Vinings area–they are doing a promotion Saturday where you can get a free yogurt at Yoforia. I love, love, love this place–we have one in Morningside. Watch out for the brain freeze!

How much am I loving this? The New York Post says Elton John and Lady Gaga are performing together at the Grammy Awards Sunday night. I am so in!!
That’s the big announcement from Apple. I’m excited for the new tablet—but the name sounds like a panty liner. Eww….
Since the hype of this will be going on for days, Thursday’s Radio Free Lunch will be songs that have the letter “I” in the title.
