Bed of Roses, North Americas #1 tribute to Bon Jovi, played the Skycentre in the Living Sky Casino Saturday night.
That's their lead singer Darryl (Bon Jovi) .. and as far as tribute bands go, they sounded like Bon Jovi, he looked kind of like Bon Jovi, and the guy even had Bon Jovi's moves down pat. Plus, I think he changed outfits 12 times during the show! What more could you ask for?
The question I have is ... when your in a cover band ... where do you draw the line? Where does your stage identity, in the this case Bon Jovi, end and your real personality begin?
I got the opportunity to MC the event and met the guys before the show where I found out, Darryl (Bon Jovi) actually has Bon Jovi's real tattoos on his body. They're not fake, he actually went out, and got the exact same tattoos as Bon Jovi! Is that too far? Has he crossed the line of paying tribute to a great musician, to being that crazy lunatic super fan that ends up going to jail for stocking the great Bon Jovi??
Maybe that's a bit to deep for a Monday morning ... I should probably just talk about all the cougars that were at the show and how "fake" Bon Jovi woo'd them all with a bunch of roses and frequent trips into the crowd ... I honestly believe those ladies thought he was actually Bon Jovi!!
Which makes a guy worry ... what if your wife's celebrity freebie is Bon Jovi ... and "fake" Bon Jovi tricked them into thinking he was actually Bon Jovi!!!!

Carson Hadden now officially has more disposable income than I do!! This little guy won the hearts of Bronco fans, the title of the Ultimate I-Fan, and 500 dollars cash by dressing up like a crazy Bronco fan for Friday nights playoff game!!! It was decided by the rinks applause and when Carson was pointed to, it felt like the Broncos scored a huge goal!!I was talking to his Grandpa Kim ( a loyal Eagle listener) at the pre-game BBQ in the Molson Room and said "You better watch out, he's gonna win the cash tonight if your not careful!"
Kim, you can send my cut to 134 central avenue north!!

Have you done your taxes yet? If not ... check out Ufile.com. You can do your own taxes all online, send it away online, pay only 15 dollars, and if your lucky enough to get a refund, it'll come in two weeks rather than 6-8 if you mail it in.
I wouldn't recommend this though if you have a complicated tax return, took me about 45 minutes to do it for myself last night. A few snags, but all in all, very fast and easy!

Cool story for you Chance,
The little guy who won the cash actually lost the whole wad on the way out to the car.
It was found by a very young girl who's mother you know (cough, and work with, cough, cough) and given back to the little guy.
Good people. Not many people would have found $500 cash on the street and sought out the rightful owner.
