Johnny Cash, Levi Strauss & Joey, Don't Lose That Number

Just a couple of quick notes today.

Born on this date, February 26 in the year 1932, the great Johnny cash. Little Johnny was a cute but odd baby. He wore black diapers.

Also born on this date in 1829 was Levi Strauss. Strauss, of course invented blue jeans.
Strauss was born in Bavaria, Germany, where today, the house he was born in is a historic site known as the Levi Strauss Museum. There's another such museum in San Francisco. Strauss died in 1902 at the age of 73. His death came too soon. He never got to see what Shania Twain did with his invention. It's probably just as well. His heart might not have been able to take it. It would've killed him.

Comedian Joe Biden continues to supply us with plenty of comedy material. I didn't get to see this because I was on the air, but I did see the clip today. Biden was on one of those early morning TV shows Wednesday morning. The purpose of his appearance was to promote Recovery.com, a website that supposedly will monitor the stimulus bill, but Joe forgot the website address. On live TV, he yelled to an aide, who was off camera, "Do you know the website number?" DO YOU KNOW THE WEBSITE NUMBER??? Hey, look, I'm not the most computer savvy guy in the world, but come on!!

Let's hope the stimulus bill will pay to put broadband into Joe Biden's house.

Tomorrow morning, Debra Joseph, Director of the Fredericksburg SPCA joins me, along with Paul Hayden with traffic, Shelia Quinn with news and Kristen Nash with A Walk Down Music Row. I'll also tell you about James Miller, who went all out to impress his girlfriend for Valentine's Day, only to have his plan backfire horribly.
