Thanks to you, we raised over $50,000 for Help Our Military Heroes from our Chaz and AJ / Hine Brothers Truck Group “Stand Up For Vets!”
Because of your generosity US Navy EMN2(SS) Dylan Pickett & his wife Brittany are receiving this van!
We thank Dylan for his service and we thank you, the Chaz and AJ Tribe, for always stepping up and being there for our awesome veterans!
As we get ready to celebrate our nation’s 244th birthday, let’s look back at a tour that featured two of America’s badass rock bands: Lynyrd Skynyrd and Kid Rock.
The Rock & Rebels Tour of 2008 brought both the old school (Skynyrd) and new school (Kid Rock) together on one stage and one epic summer tour that visited cities all around the United States, including Hartford.

It’s hard to imagine a summer without Dave Matthews Band at The XFINITY Theatre. Since 1995, there have been only 3 summers that DMB didn’t play in Hartford: 2011, 2017 and 2020.
Today we look back at DMB’s 2001 summer tour that came to The XFINITY Theatre on back-to-back nights in early August. Below is the setlist from their first night in Hartford.

A trio of calls from important folks who helped to make last night’s Chaz and AJ Hine Bros. Truck Group Stand Up for Vets a huge success. Donors like Joe from Oxford Lumber and Bob Stefanowski, and then Laurie Hollander, the President of Help Our Military Heroes. (0:00)
Dumb Ass News – Since Chaz and AJ will be on vacation next week, and they cannot celebrate the 4th of July with their usual display, a montage of past “Buttle Rocket” celebrations. (19:06)
Fun Fact! The Tribe was given the green light to call in about anything, as long as they began their call with “Fun Fact.” Learn about the mating habits of octopuses, the testing process for Samsung phones, and boring geography from WPLR Program Director Allan Lamberti. (25:27)
Boss Keith’s Top 5 this week was about “constant arguments” he has with people about things that do not matter, at all. (38:13)

In 2016 AC/DC lead singer Brian Johnson was ordered by his doctors to stop touring immediately or he’d lose his hearing. Pretty serious.
AC/DC was in the middle of its “Rock or Bust World Tour,” and after learning of this news about Brian, the band was forced to postpone the remainder of the tour.
But the postponement didn’t last long as the band recruited a new lead singer: Axl Rose of Guns N’ Roses. Axl would finish the remainder of the 2016 tour, which included a show at New York’s Madison Square Garden in September, originally scheduled in April.

Dumb Ass News – A man without a mask was slapped around with a sausage, when the other guy couldn’t buy beer. (0:00)
Mighty John the Record Guy was on to help the Tribe find some valuable pieces in their collection. First, he broke Jennifer’s heart by admitting she probably overpaid for some Beatles albums she picked up for Chaz and told her she should’ve selected another record. (3:36)
Jimmy Koplik gives an update on the state of concerts in Connecticut, and tries to pick the next big rockstar movie we haven’t seen yet. (8:55)
Bob Leary from Trimino Water was on to talk about tonight’s Chaz and AJ Hine Bros. Truck Group Stand Up for Vets, and the matching donation he’s willing to make. (31:01)
Adam Keys is a veteran and former recipient of a vehicle provided by Help Our Military Heroes, and now is trying to get into comedy. He was on to share his story, how much having a vehicle has helped him, and what to expect from his segment during tonight’s virtual event. (36:20)
