…for the Pledges For Pets Telethon on Fox 31 Sunday from 12 Noon-5P.

May I say what will power it takes to give the puppy back?  It’s not for the faint-hearted.

Thanks for any help you can give.  We need to promote and support responsible pet ownership in this country, and the Dumb Friends League leads the way in our community.  Their commitment is wonderous.  They do it for people and they do it for animals.  They ROCK.

“The List”-tonight was a ”make-good” list.  I collected some of your e mails from “The List” weekend and added some of your suggestions to…Rocks Best Bassist, Rocks Greatest Front Men…and your suggestion for Rocks Greatest Guitar Licks was a real treat.  Think Robert Downey Jr.!

Rush-Limelight (Best Bassist-Geddy Lee)-from Colleen

Born to Run-Bruce Springsteen (Best Title Track)-from Bill

Lucky Man-ELP (best heard with headphones or earbuds)-from Chuck

You Really Got Me-Kinks-(Britains Greatest Rock Bands)-from Aimee

Centerfold-The J Geils Band (Rocks Greatest “The” Bands)-from Susan

I Can See For Miles-The Who-(Rocks Greatest Front Men)-from Will

Iron Man-Black Sabbath–(Greatest Guitar Licks)-Pete

Thanks for the input!  Tomorrow night “The List” will feature 7 great tunes for hitting the “blacks”…just in case you are headed for the slopes this weekend.  Check our Mountain Ski Report while you are here on-line…Happy Skiing!

PUPPY CAM!

Mountain listener George had an idea for songs from movies for “The List.”  So tonight I played 7 songs which you not only remember from a particular movie…but you get a visual of a specific moment in the film.  George left it up to me to come up with the tunes so here is my list based on George’s excellent suggestion.

Running on Empty-Forrest Gump (Forrest out running and running…)

Streets of Philadelphia-Philadelphia (Best movie song ever?)

You Can’t Always Get What You Want-The Big Chill (Funeral scene in the movie)

In Your Eyes-Say Anything (John Cusack and the boombox)

Old Time Rock and Roll-Risky Business (Tom Cruise in his underwear)

Don’t You Forget About Me-The Breakfast Club (Closing segment-Bender’s raised fist)

Tiny Dancer-Almost Famous (Singing on the Bus)

That’s it…that’s “The List.”  Tomorrow night I have a make good list from this past weekend.  Your suggestions for Rocks best bass player, Rocks greatest front man and a real sweet choice for Rocks greatest guitar licks…Think Robert Downey Jr.

The prank was set up perfectly. A high school girls’ basketball coach in Kansas was told he’d win tickets to the Final Four if he hit a half-court shot while blindfolded. The crowd was instructed to scream wildly when his attempt inevitably failed (because, really, that shot is nearly impossible) so the coach would think the shot went in. For an instant ,he’d think he was Final-Four-bound and then the joke would be revealed. There was just one problem, though: He made it.

Former NBA player Paul Shirley offers up some harsh words of advice to the folks in Haiti including the suggestion to “use condoms once in a while”.

WOW!

Mr. Shirley?  That sound you’re hearing is the karma police coming for you!

His complete rant here.

Bet it wasn’t anywhere NEAR this cool….or this ridiculous…

(Newser) – Diddy’s son Justin Combs—whose middle name is Dior, by the way—got a $350,000 luxury Maybach car (and, of course, $10,000 to donate to charity) for his 16th birthday this weekend. But that’s not over the top at all—at least not when compared to the other goodies celebrity teens have snagged—finds The Frisky:

• Crystal Audigier: Got two cars for her 16th birthday from daddy Christian.

• Soulja Boy: Got a tour bus for his 19th birthday, from 50 Cent.
• Miley Cyrus: Received the traditional “Sweet 16 Recording Studio” from Billy Ray.
• Joe Jonas: Snagged a motorcycle with sidecar when he turned 19.

For the complete list—why in the world did Frances Bean Cobain’s 16th birthday gift have to do with suicide?—click here.

…especially for people who wouldn’t miss knowing that there are tigers in the wild…

“What is man without the beasts? If all the beasts were gone, man would die from a great loneliness of spirit. For whatever happens to the beasts, soon happens to man. All things are connected.”

My family are all from the British Isles by way of Canada, so some people thing my Corgy obsession is Queen-driven.  It’s really not, but that fact that Elizabeth the II loves Corgis doesn’t HURT.

Just LOOOK at ‘em…

So which celebrities do people trust most? We turned to E-Poll, which ranked the A-list names Americans rated the highest in for trustworthiness, awareness and appeal.

James Earl Jones tops the list. One of the most instantly recognizable voices in entertainment history–and a commanding presence to match–he’s still best known as the voice of Darth Vader in the original Star Wars trilogy. But he’s also lent his voice to the CNN tagline and NBC’s Olympic coverage and his acting skills to everything from Conan the Barbarian to Field of Dreams.

Here is the rest of the list featured below.

1. James Earl Jones

2. Tom Hanks

3. Michael J. Fox

4. Mike Rowe

5. Morgan Freeman

6. Sally Field

7. Ron Howard

8. Will Smith

9. Bill Cosby

10. Denzel Washington
