PODCAST – Wednesday, June 9: Legal Marijuana Hits A Snag; Tribe Big Family Stories; Movies So Bad You Walked Out

The legal weed bill has hit a snag. Everything seemed so promising yesterday, so what happened? Chaz and AJ talk about the single addition that may have killed the bill for this session. (0:00)

A woman in South Africa gave birth to ten babies, all at once. Chaz and AJ wanted to know a little about what it’s like to live in a big family, so they asked the Tribe to call in and share their experiences. Holly’s family needed a school bus just to drive everyone around, and Flo admitted that sometimes she would have to eat grass, since there was not always enough food. (11:27)

Movie critic Joe Meyers called in the Top 5 movies that were so bad, he walked out on them. Joe’s first movie was very recent, and Chaz was shocked he missed it when it was happening. (33:20)

Dumb Ass News – Maybe the worst choir boy ever? But even more strange, the audio seemed to match perfectly with something that happened on the show two hours earlier. (43:22)

Throwback Concert: AC/DC at The XL Center 1981

Throwback Concert: AC/DC at The XL Center 1981

99.1 PLR celebrates 50 years! This week we are celebrating another great year in our history: 1981!

That year PLR welcomed AC/DC to Hartford’s XL Center (which at the time was called the Hartford Civic Center). The boys from Australia hit the road in 1981 to support its eighth studio album, “For Those About To Rock We Salute You,” which featured the singles Let’s Get It Up and the album’s title track For Those About To Rock We Salute You.

This was singer Brian Johnson’s first appearance in Connecticut as AC/DC’s front man. AC/DC had previously played only other concert in Connecticut (1978 at The Shaboo Inn) and that was with the late Bon Scott on vocals. Over the next decade or so AC/DC would go on to play several more shows in Connecticut, mainly in Hartford at the New Haven Coliseum.

50 Years, 50 Albums 2008: Kings of Leon ‘Only by the Night’

50 Years, 50 Albums 2008: Kings of Leon ‘Only by the Night’

A family band out of Nashville, Brothers Caleb, Nathan, and Jared Followill with cousin Matthew Followill formed Kings of Leon in 1999. To describe the band’s music is a combination of southern rock, garage rock with a heavy dose of alternative sound, basically making this a kick ass band. Their fourth album Only by the Night was a commercial breakthrough for the band going platinum in the United States and super huge in Australia (go figure) where the album was certified platinum 9 Times! At the 52nd Grammy Awards “Use Somebody” won Record of the Year and Best Rock Song by a group or duo. At this time, we would like to induct Kings of Leon’s Only by the Night into the WPLR Hall of Fame. Thanks for your votes.
