 InterNotes September 2nd, 2010 Bon Jovi will follow in Jimmy Buffett's footsteps in the sand -- by playing a free show on the beach. Bon Jovi's concert takes place October 15 in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Admission's free but tickets are required. Link below will get you started. On the web: www.concertsforthecoast.com August 24th, 2010 As of this writing, the current debut season of The Green Couch Sessions on WDAM television is about to wrap up. (Before I remark any further, I should note for the uninitiated I work at WDAM during the business week as a newscast producer.) Lots of hard work have been put into this effort. And with your help, there'll be a second season of The Green Couch -- and beyond. To Pam McGovern, executive producer on the project, on down, it's been quite a treat as well as a great place to showcase local talent as well as the acts who make frequent visits to our neighborhoods. Want to see more of The Green Couch? The best thing to do is drop my friends at WDAM an e-mail or note via the old U.S. mail. The weblink just below this paragraph will get you started. On the web: www.thegreencouchsessions.com August 24th, 2010 NASA wants to know how they should wake up astronauts. Should be something as calming as "Good Day Sunshine" by The Beatles -- or should it be a real wake-up call with Metallica's "Enter Sandman"? NASA wants you to pick two songs that will wake up the Endeavour crew for the final two shuttle missions. Other choices include the logical -- "Rocket Man" by Elton John and "Learning To Fly" by Tom Petty -- to the unusual -- "She Blinded Me With Science" by Thomas Dolby. Even The Clash's musical question "Should I Stay Or Should I Go?" is up for votes. Oh, note to local acts, NASA's even considering original songs -- but they have to have some connection with space.
