8 comments May 19th, 2008
Barb Rhodes, you are the Love Wing Ding winner with a wickedly awesome ode of sorts.
Call me at 815-987-1331 as soon as possible but by 9 a.m. Tuesday to claim your two free tickets and the coveted parking pass to the May 25 all-day long rock concert at Rockford Speedway. You’ll of course have to show me identification to prove you are who you say you are.
Her entry and an explanation of it are No. 24 and 25 in my blog Love It/Hate It contest.
“I’d go “ALL THE WAY” through “HELL AND HIGH WATER” for the Wing Ding when Rockford’s “ALIVE” with 25,000 “BODIES” who “STAND UP FOR ROCK ‘N’ ROLL!” Any “WICKED SOUL” who complains hasn’t experienced this event. Otherwise, they’d say it’s “THE FAD” and be “ADDICTED.” I’m “SO HAPPY” for this tradition!”

All the Way - The Last Vegas
Hell and High Water - Black Stone Cherry
Alive - P.O.D.
Bodies - Drowning Pool
Stand Up For Rock ‘n’ Roll - Airbourne
Wicked Soul - Another Black Day
The Fad - Chevelle
Addicted - Saving Abel
So Happy - Theory of a Dead Man
The Hate Wing Ding winner is Tyler E. who gets free earplugs. Tyler: Please call me at 815-987-1331, even if you don’t wanna spend the gas money to claim your prize. Please do so as soon as possible but by 9 a.m. Tuesday. His post:
“I hate Wing Ding and here’s why… horrible weather, crowded beyond belief, but most of all: an entire day’s worth of radio-friendly pre-pubescent “hard rock” and an excuse for snotty pre-teen brats who think they’re cool because they just spent their allowance on a black t-shirt at Hot Topic to act like hooligans. These kids would have no idea how to act at a REAL metal show. WXRX is a joke, the current music scene is a joke, and people need to grow up and realize there is more music out there than the garbage they are force-fed by the radio. How could nu-metal still possibly be alive in 2008? It boggles the mind.”
