So you got ripped off by paying $20 for that Vanilla Ice CD way back when. You are as mad a hell, and you can't take it anymore! If you bought a music CD in the 1990's, you could collect a check with a phone call or a visit to a website we'll tell you about in a second. As much as $20 could be waiting for you if you purchased a CD between 1995 and 2000. Few consumers are participating in the $143 million class-action settlement against the top five distributors of compact discs (who accepted this rebate remedy because of price fixing allegations). To get your money, call toll free 1-866-522-2974, or go to this website: http://www.musiccdsettlement.com The deadline is March 3, 2003. So far, only about 2 million people have taken advantage of this free money (if you purchased a CD between 1995-2000). 3) Music Crossword Puzzle Mania Four new music crossword puzzles have been added to: Music puzzle central Have some big fun with these gems. We'll be adding more every month, so visit the site often. Try your hand at puzzle #4. 4) Music News: Diana, Michael, Bobby, Stevie, and India Diana Ross E! cable network just broadcast a 2 hour special on the rise and fall of Diana Ross. The profile of Motown's feisty diva had it's controversial moments. There's police video footage of Diana's recent DUI arrest, showing her pleading with the cops not to issue her a citation. Among the stars who tell all about Miss Ross: former Supreme Mary Wilson, Martha Reeves, Ashford & Simpson, song writers Holland, Dozier, and Holland, and assorted other characters. Conspicuous by his absence is Motown founder Berry Gordy Jr. (also missing in action from the recent documentary "Standing In The Shadows of Motown.") Diana Ross, the E! True Hollywood Story is a must see. There's a lot to learn about the music business, about some of your favorite R&B personalities, and about life. Here are the encore broadcast times (Eastern) Monday, February 17, 6p Tuesday, February 18, 8p Sunday, February 23, 4p Monday, February 24, 8p You may want to tape this one. ----------------- Michael Jackson Thursday, February 20th, Fox Network will air "Michael Jackson, Take Two: The Interview They Wouldn't Show You." You'll see out-take video from Michael Jackson's personal film crew rather than what the BBC camera crew captured for ABC. I thought the two hour ABC special (that over 27.1 million people watched in the USA), took advantage of Michael's subdued off-stage persona. The King of Pop was no match for the abrasive British journalist Martin Bashir. You can find a deposition filed with the Los Angeles Superior Court in a December, 1993 Lawsuit against Jackson at: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/mjdec1.html Decide for yourself based on this deposition, what's true, and what's not. ----------------- Bobby Brown Bobby Brown was sentenced in January to eight days in jail and ordered not to drive for a year after pleading guilty to a 1996 drunken driving charge in DeKalb County, Georgia. He also faces charges in Atlanta, where he was arrested this past November for possession of marijuana, speeding, and driving without a license or proof of insurance. ----------------- India.Arie and Stevie Wonder "The Christmas Song," sung by India.Arie and Stevie Wonder, and commissioned by Target Corp., has been nominated for a Grammy. The track, available only on the Voyage to India.Arie CD's sold exclusively at Target, was also used in TV ads. The word is that Target officials were shocked to find out that the song had been nominated. Store executives were not aware that Arie's label, Motown, submitted the song for Grammy consideration. The 45th Annual Grammy Awards are Sunday, February 23rd, at 8pm Eastern. 5) Concert Dates Jay-Z Saturday, February 22, 2003 Memphis, TN 9pm (also Live on the Showtime Cable Network) Chaka Khan Saturday, February 22, 2003 Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel, Boston, MA George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic Friday, February 28, 2003 House of Blues, Lake Buena Vista, FL LL Cool J Friday, February 28, 2003 American Airlines Arena, Miami, FL 7:30pm Patti Labelle Saturday, March 1, 2003 Westbury Music Fair, Westbury, NY 8:00pm George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic Monday, March 3, 2003 House of Blues, New Orleans, LA 10:00pm LL Cool J Friday, March 7, 2003 Reliant Stadium, Houston, TX 7:00pm Teddy Pendergrass & Chaka Khan Friday, March 21, 2003 Fox Theatre, Detroit, MI 8:00pm Santana Thursday, April 10, 2003 HKCEC Hall 3, Hong Kong, China Santana, Sunday, April 13, 2003 Century Hall, Nagoya, Japan 6) Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood: Marvin Gaye Courtesy of The Archive of Misheard Lyrics at amiright.com Song: Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler) Artist: Marvin Gaye The real lyrics: "Make Me wanna holler Throw up both my hands" Misheard as: "Make Me wanna holler Throw up on my hands" Song: I'll Be Doggone Artist: Marvin Gaye The real lyrics: "And if we live to be a hundred years old, If you ever let that spring turn cold, Then I wouldn't be doggone, I'd be long gone" Misheard as: "And if we live to be a hundred years old, If you ever let that spring bird go, Then I wouldn't be doggone, I'd be long gone" 7) Ears All Over The World The top 15 Countries ranked in descending order based upon the total number of hours listened to Powerhouse Radio in January, 2003 1) United States 2) United Kingdom 3) Spain 4) Germany 5) Canada 6) Turkey 7) Sweden 8) Japan 9) Croatia/Hrvastska 10) France 11) South Africa 12) Lebanon 13) Czech Republic 14) Finland 15) Switzerland The top 15 USA cities ranked in descending order based upon the total number of hours listened to Powerhouse Radio in January, 2003 1) Washington, DC 2) New York City, NY 3) Boston, MA 4) Atlanta, GA 5) Houston, TX 6) Los Angeles, CA 7) Austin, TX 8) Dallas, TX 9) Chicago, IL 10) Philadelphia, PA 11) San Francisco, CA 12) Nashville, TN 13) Cleveland, OH 14) Raleigh-Durham, NC 15) Detroit, MI 8) Thanks for Listening Thanks for making Powerhouse Radio the #1 listened to R&B station (primary genre R&B) streaming at 28k on Live365!
