Rock Star? ROCK ON!

This week here at WKTI we have been talking about being a ROCKSTAR for a day when INXS comes to town Saturday the 20th.
The winner and 3 friends will be picked up by limo and taken to The Riverside Theater, given their own private dressing room complete with a catered meal, hang out with INXS before the show, watch the concert from INXS's personal seats, and spend a night in a suite at The Pfister! It made me think about how cool it would be to be a rock star. In my highschool and college days I used to play in a couple of different local bands and always thought about being A ROCKSTAR! Every once in a while I get to pretend I'm a rockstar like last summer myself and Hollywood John Harlow sang with Kevin Sucher and the Heros at Miller's 150th anniversary.

When bands play a gig they put together what's called a rider that outlines what they need backstage for them to perform, sometimes the items requested are a bit ususual, for example BON JOVI requests to have available at all times 2 mops and buckets, 2 pushbrooms, and 2 large squegees. WHAT IN THE WORLD DO THEY NEED THOSE FOR? Is Jon just some sort of neat freak?

Clay Aiken requests a whole bunch of food, 45 different items and that doesn't even include what he wants for dinner. Has anyone seen that guy he can't weigh more than 100 pounds. What you haven't seen him? That's right he's CLAY AIKEN, of course you haven't seen him no one has seen him in 3 years.

So if you win the WKTI INXS ROCKSTAR FOR A DAY live it up LIKE CLAY frickin' AIKEN because who knows if you'll ever get to put together a "backstage rider" ever again.
