The Big Kris & Boomer Show
New England Patriots Owner Robert Kraft has come forward (8 years later) to claim now Russian President Vladimir Putin STOLE his $25,000 Superbowl ring. His tardiness with this claim is probably due to the fact that Vladimir is not someone you would want to tease on the playground. The Big Kris & Boomer show ponder what a stand off would be like between these two?

Here is a look at what is making news in Kingston on Monday June 17th, 2013
School Decisions
It’s the beginning of the end for KCVI and QECVI.
The Limestone District School Board will make the final decision tomorrow night. Its School Enrolment/School Capacity Committee voted 5-4 in favor of a motion to close KCVI and QECVI if funding is available to build a new high school. If the province won’t pay to build a new high school…the committee also approved a motion to seek funding to maintain KCVI and LCVI and re-purpose QECVI. Both recommendations need approval from the full school board. It meets tomorrow night.
QECVI – Sports Program
Kingston and the Islands MPP John Gerretsen has announced a new program that will be offered at QECVI this fall. The new Sports major will offer specific courses to prepare students for a career in sports or for continuing their education in college or university.
Save for a handful of shows early on, Bon Jovi’s current tour is shaping up to be the band’s first major world tour without guitarist Richie Sambora, who has chosen to sit out the lengthly road trek. Although with each new leg there are hopes of the band announcing Sambora’s return, Sambora is once again nowhere to be found as the band barnstorms through Europe.
Jon Bon Jovi was asked if there’s any change in the situation that’s split Sambora and Bon Jovi: “Same thing I’ve said since day one: personal issue. It’s. . . we miss him. . . um. . . love him, and he’s welcome back when he’s ready. And that’s all I can tell you. There’s not a definitive date. He’s going through some stuff. It’s difficult for me too, but that’s the story.”
Steven Tyler maintains that the main ingredient to any great band is timeless songs. Over 40 years after writing his first tune for Aerosmith with Joe Perry, the pair was saluted on Thursday night (June 13th) when they were inducted into the prestigious Songwriters Hall of Fame in New York City. We asked Steven Tyler if there was a tried a trusted way to know when you’ve written a hit song: “At night when you’re going to bathroom and you can’t get it out of your mind. All night when go up to get into the bathroom, you’re singin’ the chorus. You go: ‘Okay, we’ve got a winner here!’ Remember, they all start with thumbnail sketches, a little nothing — ‘Janey Got A Gun.’ Why the hell does Janey have a gun? Why would she a have a gun? Who’s Janey?! And on and on and on. So, it’s a crazy, beautiful. . . I love the process.”

School Decision

The web site for the Limestone District School Board says trustees will likely make their final decision at the regular school board meeting Wednesday night.

Last night Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler and Joe Perry along with long-estranged Foreigner co-founders Mick Jones and Lou Gramm, were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame at Manhattan’s Marriott Marquis Hotel. Both Jones and Gramm, who parted ways in 2003 when Gramm quit the band, have suffered from health problems over recent years, with Gramm surviving a brain tumor and Jones recently undergoing open-heart surgery. Gramm, who still performs and is a born again Christian, was replaced by current lead singer Kelly Hansen in 2005. Foreigner was inducted by Billy Joel, and Jones and Gramm reunited to perform “Juke Box Hero” and “I Want To Know What Love Is” to a massive standing ovation.
Steven Tyler and Joe Perry were inducted by Nickleback’s Chad Kroeger and Ryan Peake, who performed “Sweet Emotion” before doing the honors. Afterwards, the “Toxic Twins” took the stage for an event stealing rendition of “Walk This Way.”
Jane’s Addiction has posted a trailer online for Live In NYC, the band’s concert document coming out on June 25th on Blu-ray, DVD and CD. The show was filmed and recorded at New York City’s Terminal 5 on July 25th, 2011, while the band was touring in support of its first studio album in eight years, The Great Escape Artist. The highly theatrical stage production featured flying burlesque dancers, trapeze artists, carnival sideshow antics and a laser show, while the set list included classics such as “Stop!”, “Been Caught Stealing,” “Jane Says” and “Mountain Song.”
The set will be issued on double LP vinyl and standalone DVD and CD, as well as a DVD/CD combo and Blu-ray.
