U2 sued for stealing material for "Achtung Baby"
Written by Sandra MillerU2 is being sued by songwriter, Paul Rose, for stealing elements of his song "Nae Slappin" for their song "The Fly" off of Achtung Baby. Rose says he shared a demo of his song with Island Records back in 1989. He thinks studio execs played it for U2 and then they ripped him off. He's now looking for $5 million, lawyer fees and a writing credit. Take a listen & see what you think...
Former Yes singer Jon Anderson recently revealed that Geddy Lee of Rush would be playing bass on "Roundabout" in place of the late Chris Squire when he helps induct Yes into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame next month. Perhaps he shared something he wasn't supposed to. The Rock Hall always keeps performances underwraps, and after Anderson's comment they issued this statement, "Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson were only confirmed to do the induction speech for one of their favorite bands and not perform. They, like all other Yes fans, look forward to honoring them and watching them perform at the induction ceremony on April 7th and the HBO broadcast on April 29th." So... that's not a denial, right?
Speaking of Geddy Lee, his love of baseball hasn't escaped on Esty retailer. They've swapped the outline of late Twins slugger Harmon Killebrew on the Major League logo to an outline of Geddy Lee playing bass with the caption "Major Lee Bassball."

- Why did the snowman have a big smile on his face? Because the snow blower was coming down the street.
- Why was Santa upset over the sweater he got for Christmas? Because he was hoping for a screamer or a moaner.

Merry Christmas, and to all a ROCKIN' night!

Joke Of The Week 6/16
Here's the Joke of the Week a day early since Jeff hits the vacation highway...and thanks to Jim Midolo of New London, winning that Klaben Auto Works package with this gem.
A Scottish couple took in an 18-year-old girl as a lodger. She asked if she could have a bath, but the woman of the house told her they didn't have a bath, although if she wanted to, she could use a tin bath in front of the fire.
"Monday's the best night, when my husband goes out to darts," she said. The girl agreed then to have a bath the following Monday.
After her husband had gone to the pub for his darts match, the woman filled the bath and watched the girl get undressed. She was surprised to see that the lass didn't have any pubic hair.
She mentioned this to her husband when he came home. He didn't believe her, so she said: "Next Monday, when you go to darts, leave a little early and wait in the back garden. I'll leave a gap in the curtains so you can see for yourself."
So the following Monday, while the girl again got undressed, the wife asked: "Do you shave?"
"No," replied the girl. "I've just never grown any hair down there. Do you have hair?"
"Oh, yes," said the woman, and she pulled up her nightdress and showed the girl that she was most generously endowed in the hair department. The girl finished her bath and went to bed.
Later that night, when the husband came in, the wife asked him, "Well, did you see?"
"Yes," he said, "...but why the hell did you have to show her yours?"
"Why are you worried about that?" she said. "You've seen it often enough."
"I know," he said, "but the dart team hadn't."

A truck driver stops and offers a ride, but warns him that he won't stop for anything. About 10 minutes on the road, the hitchhiker begs the truck driver to stop, and the driver tells him, "Stick your butt out the window if you have to go so bad."
The hitchhiker sticks his butt out the window and lets loose.
Unfortunately, he doesn't notice the two Steelers fans walking on the roadside. Sprayed with the unholy residue, the first fan wipes his face and says, "What are them truckers chewing these days?"
The second guy -- his name is Jim -- wipes his face and says, "I don't know, but did you see the lips on that guy?"

Joke of the Week 5/27
We confess...this WONE Joke of the Week starts with a priest and a rabbi, thanks to someone who doesn't want their name used but God knows who they are. So will Klaben Auto with The Works package going their way.
A priest and a rabbi are talking; the priest is out of town the coming weekend but there's nobody who will sit in on confession for him. The rabbi says he'd be glad to do it, and the priest invites him in for mid-week to get a feel of the process.
Both head for the confessional After waiting a few minutes, a woman comes in and says, "Father, forgive me for I have sinned." The priest asks, 'What did you do?" The woman says, "I committed adultery." The priest asks, "how many times?" The woman replies, "Three." Priest: "Say two Hail Mary's, put $5 in the box, and go and sin no more."
A few minutes later, a man enters the confessional. He says, "Father forgive me, for I have sinned." "What did you do?" asks the priest. "I committed adultery." "How many times?" the priest responds." "Three times." The priest says, "Say two Hail Mary's, put $5 in the box and go and sin no more."
The rabbi tells the priest that he thinks he's got it, so the priest leaves. A few minutes later another woman enters and says, "Father, forgive me for I have sinned." The rabbi says, "What did you do?" The woman replies, "I committed adultery."
The rabbi says, "How many times?" The woman replies, "Once."
The rabbi said, "Go and do it two more times, We have a special this week, three for $5."

Joke of the Week 5/20
Get ready for a ride thanks to K.C. of Akron with The Works from Klaben Auto for this gem.
Steeler Jim goes to the doctor. "Doc, you've gotta help me! My wife Bengal Betty just isn't interested in sex anymore. Haven't you got a pill or something I can give her? I am desperate!"
The doctor opens his desk drawer and removes a small bottle of pills. "Ordinarily, I wouldn't do this. These are experimental. The tests so far indicate that they're VERY powerful. Don't give her more than ONE, understand? Just ONE!"
"I don't know, Doc, she's awfully cold..." sputters Jim. "Just one," admonishes the doctor. "One. No more. In her coffee. Okay?"
Jim agrees and leaves for home, where Betty has dinner waiting. When dinner is finished, she goes to the kitchen to bring dessert. Jim hastily pulls the pills from his pocket and drops one into Betty's coffee.
He reflects for a moment, hesitates, then drops in a second pill.
And then he begins to worry. The doctor did say they were powerful. Then inspiration strikes, he drops one pill into his own coffee. Betty returns with the shortcake and they enjoy their dessert and coffee.
A few minutes after they finish, Betty shudders a little, sighs deeply and heavily, and a strange look comes over her. In a near whisper, and a tone of voice he has never heard her use before, she rumbles "I...need... a man...NOW!"
Jim's eyes glitter and his hands tremble as he replies, "Me... too..."
