Brew Bloggin' With Mookie

"Mookie" of "The Morning Brew" on KQBW (96.1 FM) is the latest radio personality to take up blogging.

His entries on the "Mookie and Michelle" section of The Morning Brew website range from the somewhat outrageous ("Halloween Costume Ideas") to the outlandishly outrageous ("Ooooh, That Smell!").

A particularly good read is his running diary for the Def Leppard and Journey concert. A sample:

7:30: SHOWTIME! Journey emerges from the darkness, as Neal Schon begins to wail away on his axe. Damn, he still looks young! He's gotta be drinkin' that Dick Clark Kool-Aid. He hasn't aged since the "Separate Ways" video in '83. He kinda looks like Springsteen, before the divorce took its toll on him. His solo morphs into the Star-Spangled Banner, much to our delight. Oh yeah - he knows he's in a red-state. We likes that there patriotic stuff...ya, you betcha.

7:39: Here comes Steve Perry 3.0...Hey, isn't he Justin Guarini from American Idol Season One? Nice to see that kid has found some work. He opens his mouth to sing...and...DAMN! He DOES sound just like Perry 1.0! Awesomeness! What's that gotta be like, by the way? You wake up one morning, you're singing in the shower, and suddenly you realize, "HEY! I SOUND JUST LIKE STEVE PERRY! I sure hope Steve and the band fight and break up, so I can become the new lead singer of Journey!" Do ya start scanning Rolling Stone magazine and the various music industry trades every day, looking for that very headline?

8:37: Here's the moment we've been waiting for..."Faithfully," EASILY the greatest love song of all time. The fact that keyboardist Jonathan Cain wrote the song for his wife only adds to how special this song is. The fact that he divorced said wife a few years later is irrelevant. Really. It doesn't matter. Drop it.
