It was a sold out show at the Fox Saturday night.  He’s had some dicey experiences with Atlanta audiences in the past (Greendale at Chastain, with CSNY at Phillips).  This time it was totally different.

The Fox is the perfect venue for this type of mellow concert.  It was Neil, guitars, pianos and his amazing song writing. He played lots of hits (Ohio, Cinnamon Girl, After The Goldrush) and a bunch of new songs. Surprisingly, the new material was as good as the classics. Neil didn’t talk to the crowd much but when he did it was special. There was a song he sang for (I think) his granddaughter that was simply magnificent.  The crowd was awesome, you could hear a pin drop while he played. When he was finished songs they roared with applause. There are very few artists who can pull off a one man acoustic concert (Springsteen, Prince) and Neil is one of them.  Great show.

What did you think?

Whoo hoo!  The pool is officially open.  What are your favorite songs for a pool party?  We’ll pull your playlist together for today’s RFL!

Congrats class of 2010!  What are your favorite graduation songs?

They brought some by for us to try today. It is really, really spicy.  Like in a good way.  I am holding out for a grilled version because the fried was bit a much for me.  I mean, it’s not KFC Double Down rich—but still pretty heavy.  Try it for yourself FREE between May 31 and June 5th by signing up here.

And PS this isn’t an advertisement…..We just love Chic Fil A and we eat it here at Colony Square all the time.  Has anyone else had a chance to try it?

After 20 (!!) seasons this show wrapped up last night. For Tuesday’s show request artists who have had trouble with the law.

Bret Michaels has been on Oprah, won Celebrity Apprentice and was People Magazine’s cover story.  After having a life threatening brain hemorrhage and stroke he’s FINALLY going to take a much needed rest. 

I know you can’t have too much publicity—-but we don’t want to read about you getting worse!  See what Bret Michaels has to say about his future here.

SOOOOO—-what did you think of the finale?  Whether you loved it or hated it, fans are sad to say goodbye to the great characters of LOST.  For today’s show, request songs about goodbyes and endings.Meanwhile, I was pretty disappointed in the finale.  Two and a half hours for what everyone suspected in the beginning?!?!?  And was I the only one who couldn’t sleep thinking about it?  LOST makes me mad which is why it’s such an amazing show.  Glad it’s over but I’ll miss it.  This kind of show is hard to be topped.

I started off Friday night at the Funny Farm for Atlanta’s Funniest Office Worker.  The crowd was pretty subdued for a night out at a comedy club (or I just bombed ).  Anyone interested in entering the next round you can do it here, it’s on June 4th.

Saturday we hit the Renaissance Festival which was a riot.  We went with a few of Charlie’s friends and loved the freaks, turkey legs and how every activity costs . What’s up with that?  I especially loved the fashions at the event….

BTW this doesn’t even scratch the surface of the freak show people watching there.  It’s part of the reason it was so much fun.

Saturday night we went to a party at my agent’s house.  This thing is always a trip because there are so many random radio people there.  The best part was running into country radio legend Moby who I worked with several years ago.  He flat out didn’t recognize me after I said hello to him twice.  Finally he said “OHHHHH MAHRAH nice to see you!!” Uh huh.  Hilarious.

As I write this we are preparing to watch the LOST finale marathon.  I am so excited and am about to down a giant glass of iced coffee so I can stay up.  11:30 on a Sunday night is a totally rarity for me.

Hope you had a good weekend!!
