Kurt’s Blog: My Annual Plea to the Fine Folks of Buffalo

 Daughtry

“Baptized” by Daughtry sounds fantastic!

A Note to the People of Buffalo

We are Star 102.5…Des Moines….not Star 102.5 in Buffalo, New York.

We are playing Maroon 5…Katy Perry…Bruno Mars…we have not been playing Christmas music since November 1st.

Please stop tweeting us your Xmas requests & anger at the Xmas music. It’s not us…go back to watching the Bills be terrible…but I do thank you for the wings.

A Victory 12 Years in the Making

12 years…that’s when my buddy Irey and I got a stupid song “Hambone” stuck in our heads…it was dumb…we searched for this song…all we knew was…

“Polly wanna a cracker, she don’t lie…hambone”

We were never able to find anything…quite frustrating.

Then…success!

Not hambone…it’s Crambone! Victory is mine!

A Graduate From “Scare School”

My daughter Priscilla is a happy graduate of Monsters University.

So Many Movies, So Little Time

Planes, We’re the Millers, The To-Do List, Parkland, Man of Steel, White House Down, The Internship

We’re the Millers has to be first on the list, right? I mean Jennifer Aniston stripper scene…done & done, right?

Oh, I rented “The Purge”…fantastic concept…but, meh. Yep…a meh…take it or leave it.

Buying Xmas Presents for Each Other

Jennifer & I buying presents for each other is so silly…she knows she’s getting boots…she has seen the box…heck, I showed her the box…and I know I’m getting some white Air Jordans…how do I know? We bought them yesterday…and now we’re just waiting another month before we can wear them.

The Goldbergs

Far and away, my favorite new show this year has been The Goldbergs. I laugh so many times during this show…the 80s references are fantastic, and the characters are incredibly relateable.

Kanye West’s “Bound 2”

Blech…

Hmm…alright, his new video with Kim Kardashian isn’t showing up like it should…it’s probably better that way to be honest.

Did I mention…blech?

AWESOME is as AWESOME does!
