Authorities say Jackson died after being given propofol, a powerful general anesthetic, and two other sedatives. A coroner ruled the singer's death was caused by acute intoxication caused by the drugs. Propofol is only supposed to be administered by an anesthetist in a medical setting, because it depresses breathing and heart rate while lowering blood pressure.</B></FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT><br><br>

<b>The WHO perform Superbowl</b><br>
<b>Last Updated:</b><i>2010-02-08 08:26:31.0</i><br><br>
Hope you had a GREAT weekend! It's MONDAY. Time to get back at it, unless of course you had too much to drink out of your Super Punch-Bowl last night!
What a game it was at last night's Superbowl. Nice to see a Championship go to the City of New Orleans after ALL they've been through the last number of years.
There was a lot of discussion about the half time performance by the Who at last night's Superbowl. Each year, the act selected to play the Superbowl has 12 minutes to put on their best gig ever. There's no time to warm up the crowd. You have to deliver the goods to probably your biggest audience EVER, and you have 12 minutes for it come off spectacular, or not. While the light show was a spectacle and really the star of their performance, I admit I did have to grimace a few times on some of the notes Roger Daltry was hitting (or not hitting). There were moments when they sounded GREAT, and moments when the performance was somewhat anemic. Overall, I'd rate it a C+ from one of the world's greatest rock n roll bands. I'd love to hear your thoughts at randyrichards@live.ca.

The Rock and Roll world is always filled with rumours. We do our best here at Rock 95 to go through them and bring you the facts. However it is sometimes tough when the artists themselves contribute to the rumours.
I have been reporting for some time now about an up coming album from Rush. The reason being is that there were statements to that effect from Geddy and Alex.
It looks like the rumours are true if not some what late! Check out the article above quoting Neil!<br><br>

<b>Anoher washed up metal band?</b><br>
<b>Last Updated:</b><i>2010-02-04 11:36:44.0</i><br><br>
When asking my father in law to babysit for my son tonight, he struck a cord with me by saying. "Who are you seeing, another washed up metal band?" He was right, damn it....I was going to see the Crue.
They may put on a great show, but that doesn't mean they aren't washed up. Link up GnR, Metallica and even AC/DC in there as well. All washed up metal bands.
Now before you get your panties in a knot...washed up isn't a bad thing. If fact, it's a credit to these bands who sell out shows or even better, come back from a long break to put out a best selling album. Lot of bands can't do that.
If they continue to release top selling stuff, and not sit on their cans for 10 years, then and only then, they can erase that label of washed up...like Bon Jovi. (A band I can't stand by the way)
Until then, celebrate what they are. Great bands that throw you back to a different time in your life. Great bands that just happen to have the cash to make a go of it again.
Long live the washed up band.

Blue Rodeo stops down in Barrie tomorrow night as part of their cross-Canada tour. They perform the Barrie Molson Centre.
Since their inception in 1984, they have become one of Canada's most popular and well known bands.

Last September they were awarded a star on the Canadian Walk of Fame in Toronto, and you'll get a chance to see their live performance when they touch down in Barrie tomorrow night.

For every Frasier and Jeffersons...there's The Ropers and Joey.
Actually scratch that...there are more failed spinoffs than hits.
Click on the link to see a list of the worst. Some good ones on there that I've never heard of.

<b>Winterfest is coming!</b><br>

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010
A lot of people will be out scurrying around trying to get into those After Ground Hog Day specials at the stores today!
Happy Wednesday. Hump Day. Into the weekend slide now, and a big weekend is coming up around the region as WINTERFEST activities are happening now almost every weekend for the next few weeks. Here in Barrie, Winterfest Weekend and the Festival of Ice runs Saturday and Sunday. Most events will be held at Heritage Park. Activities include a Polar Bear swim, (I find Kempenfelt Bay COLD in August-Can't IMAGINE what February would be like!) horse-drawn wagon rides, dogsled rides, mini-tube run, lumberjack shows, giant snow slide, ice maze, and more. The Festival of Ice features 300 pound blocks of ice carved into spectacular, themed sculptures.
It's also Midland's Winterfest weekend. And, the February Blues Festival hits the City of Barrie this weekend. Be listening for all the details on ROCK 95!<br><br>

Today we talked about awful/crazy/humiliating things done to those who have...gone to sleep (passed out) after drinking too much...
There were a tone of phone calls...we invite you to email your stories if you didn't get through on the phones! Some very funny...(and twisted) stuff has gone on out there.
One caller said they put their passed out buddy on a train to Montreal...and that's where he woke up!
I know of another story where some poor bastard was put in the back of a pickup and taken through a car wash.
The majority of these incidents are boy on boy...we girls just hold each other's hair while we barf and then make sure we are safely put to bed...mostly. There might be the odd drawing of the moustache...but all in all pretty harmless!
At any rate...let us know what you've done, had done to you...or even just heard about. Thanks!
