We lost someone special to cancer today. Donna Summer, the disco singer, passed away at the age of 63 today. She had kept her battle with cancer  private, so this comes as a shock to many.

Cancer affects so many. Help the American Cancer Society fight back and find a cure by taking part in your local Relay for Life event.

 

 

Thank you!

All for now...

A Rock N' Roll Icon, Remembered... http://kowzfm.com/morningshow.php?d=70 When you think of Rock and Roll icons, you probably think of the rockstars themselves. Elvis Presley, Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Holly, and the like. But some of these artists got their first exposure on a little show called American Bandstand.

Yesterday, we lost a great man, and a very important man in Rock and Roll music history. Dick Clark passed away from a massive heart attack on Wednesday April 18th 2012 at the age of 82. He was a mainstay in living rooms world wide for many decades. Dick Clark could be considered a primary force in ligitimizing Rock and Roll music. He hosted American Bandstand from 1957-1987. He gave Americans their first exposure to artists such as Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, Stevie Wonder, and the Talking Heads.

His passion for music, broadcast, and his communication skills, brought him a fruitful carreer. By the 1970's, he had created and produced the American Music Awards show and had branded himself as CEO of Dick Clark Productions. Craig remembered his game show, Pyramid, fondly, on the morning show today. My generation watched many a ball drop during the Dick Clark Rockin' New Years Eve in Times Square as he announced the ball drop year after year, with that timeless, ageless smile. His enthusiasm shined through the screen. Clark was often referred to as "America's oldest teenager." He is beloved by so many, and he will be missed.

 

Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

 

All for now!

Hunger Games http://kowzfm.com/morningshow.php?d=68 :)

I'm not actually going to spend any amount of time talking about the Hunger Games...That movie/book series has a serious hold on our nation right now. It needs to further promotion from us. But speaking of what's trending, is it me or has there been major interest in all things bacon lately!? I do want to mention that Burger King is introducing a BACON SUNDAE! Craig is drooling in studio right now looking at a picture of it. The man loves bacon. Seriously, we've heard about bacon shakes, I saw a bacon "rose" bouquet, recently a bacon bra, and of course the bacon COFFIN! What gives? Not a great time to be a pig. Well, maybe it is. Depends on how you look at it;)

 

Our summer weather kind of went out the window, but that's ok! 50's and 60's ain't bad.

Stay tuned to KOWZ 100.9 throughout the day, we will keep you updated on the weather forecast. Could see mid to upper 60's by this weekend but back down to the 50's by Monday. Blah. Just makes me want to eat more bacon. Craig concurs.

 

Enjoy your week!

March Madness leads to April RADNESS! http://kowzfm.com/morningshow.php?d=67 Hey KOWZ listeners!

 

Are you loving this awesome weather? I know we are! It is all t-shirts and shorts in the KOWZ studio this week! Sunshine makes me happy. Craig was in Wisconsin all weekend putting new floors in his cabin, so he came back with swollen hands and a sore back, looking generally in pain. And I spent much of my weekend in Minneapolis where I saw a great local band, The Birthday Suits. Basically, it feels like summer started early! Indeed, it feels like summer- we are already calling out for our Wedding With the Stars at the Steele County Free Fair! If you want to get married at the fair, send a 100 word essay to wedding@kowzonline.com! We pay for everything and plan everything, all you have to do is suit up and show up! Oh, and being in love is good too.

 

Enjoy the working week!

We'll talk to you in the morning!!!

Happy TACO TUESDAY!

 

There is a Wind Advisory in effect form 11am-7pm, high profile vehicles, use caution!

It seriously makes me feel like impednding doom is descending on me when I have to run out to my car or something with these 28 mph winds!!! BAAAAAAAAAAH! It's crazy. I want to thank Craig for playing West End Girls by the PetShop Boys for me this morning! Now there's a tune you don't hear everyday! I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did;)

Thanks to everyone who came out for the KOWZ & KRUE Home and Recreation Show this past weekend! The show was great! There was so much to do and see! I had a total blast, and it was great to meet many of you!

SOMEONE'S GETTING ELIMINATED FROM DANCING WITH THE STARS TONIGHT! Be sure to tune in for that! Tonight at 8pm on ABC! If they eliminate Gladys Knight, I am boycotting DWS. Just kidding, I gotta see how Ricky and Urkel do!

Happy St.Patrick's Day! http://kowzfm.com/morningshow.php?d=64 Hello Minnesota!

 

We must have the luck of the Irish with this weather pattern we're having! We want to encourage you all to have a fun and SAFE St. Patrick's Day weekend! Don't drink and drive, because your luck might run out! Craig will be in St. Paul, attending the parade downtown and then going out and drinking green beer like the rest of the "Irish." I will be working at the video store, wearing green (or teal) so please don't pinch me- and then heading out to Katie O'Leary's in Waseca to see LED PENNY (my family's band)! They rock!

Come out!

Peyton, Why Can't You Be More Like your Brother? http://kowzfm.com/morningshow.php?d=63 D:

 

Just kidding! We love you Peyton Manning! I wonder what he will do now. Maybe he will do a short stint with some East Coast team and then join the VIKINGS! That would be awesome. (Never gonna happen!)

We just spoke with Bernie Boldt from Owatonna Christian School about their upcoming Auction this weekend! It sounds like it's going to be pretty neat. For more information visit:http://www.owatonnachristianschool.org

You may have heard our Fitness Tip of the Day brought to you by Snap Fitness in Waseca at 8:15. Listen for fitness tips from Craig and Molly every Tuesday and Thursday at 8:15.

Today's tip was:

WARM UP THOROUGHLY!

The cold can cause muscles to tighten, increasing your risk of injury. Even if exercising indoors, make sure to warm up for at least 10 minutes prior to exercising. Use brisk walking or stationary cycling at a low intensity to gradually increase your body temperature.

And don't forget to stretch! Especially when it's cold out. Craig saw a "whoosh" of snow come through already this morning.

Rubber band, rubber band, rubber band man!

 

Happy Barbie Day tomorrow. Watch out for solar flares!

<3

BE SAFE BROTHER!

The Big Lebowski http://kowzfm.com/morningshow.php?d=62 Hey dudes!

 

It's the 14th Anniversary of The Big Lebowski! It was released back on this day in 1998!

Here are some memorable Quotes from one of Craig and Molly's favorite movies:

(well, these are the ones that were appropriate enough to share anyway)

The Dude: Did you ever hear of "The Seattle Seven"?
Maude Lebowski: Mmm.
The Dude: That was me... and six other guys.

 

Donny: Phone's ringing, Dude.

The Dude: Thank you, Donny.

 
 
The Dude: Yeah, well. The Dude abides.
The Stranger: The Dude abides. I don't know about you but I take comfort in that. It's good knowin' he's out there. The Dude. Takin' 'er easy for all us sinners. Shoosh. I sure hope he makes the finals.
 

Brandt: Mr. Lebowski is prepared to make a generous offer to you to act as courier, once we get instructions for the money.
The Dude: Why me, man?
Brandt: He believes the culprits might be the very people who, uh, soiled your rug, and you are in a unique position to confirm or disconfirm that suspicion.


The Dude: He thinks the carpet pissers did this?
Brandt: Well Dude, we just don't know.

 

 
Check out our Dude meme on the KOWZ Facebook page:
"that rug really tied the room together"
 
Like us on Facebook, man!
 
Other favorite quotes include every time they tell Donny to shut up.

I remember seeing this movie at the Uptown Theatre in Minneapolis at midnight!

It's definitely a cult classic!

 
Happy 14th Anniversary to one of our favorite Cohen Brothers films!

Craig was talking about Whoopie Pies today on the Morning Show- I had no idea what he was talking about, so I googled them. I totally know what whoopie pies are! If you don't, google Whoopie Pie and you will have that D'oh moment too ;)

Not a lot to report today. No SNOW STORM, Minnesota! This winter has been so crazy. It seriously feels like April. Last month was dubbed Jarch by me, because it felt like March. This has basically been Fapril. What will March hold? I guess we'll see! It's the FINAL COUNTDOWN on American Idol tonight- we'll see who advances to the top 24. It looks like at least one person from our neck of the woods is going to be advancing. It's exciting. Tomorrow is Friday and that could not excite me more! Fo reals.

Don't forget to go out to the Little Theatre of Owatonna and see Dirty Rotten Scoundrels! It's the last weekend, and it's HILARIOUS!

All The President's Men and Women http://kowzfm.com/morningshow.php?d=58 Hello all!

 

Ladies and gentlemen- It's President's Day! Many have the day off of work today, but if you are like Craig and I, it's just another manic Monday, and yes, we do wish it was Sunday. I went out to a concert this weekend and got a nice $42 parking ticket, and Craig made it out to the Wild game where he was served many beers...so both of us could have used a little extra sleep. What's that saying-No rest for the wicked!? :) Anyways, radio doesn't sleep! Happy President's Day, everybody! We hope you all had a great weekend. There were a lot of fun local events over the weekend, and it sounds like many of them were a success! We always like to keep you up to date on all the upcoming local events that come our way on our Community Calendar segment,  weekday mornings at 8:20am- and as always here on the Morning Show blog at KOWZFM.COM!

Thanks for visiting KOWZFM.COM!

 

It's Wednesday, "hump day" :) This used to be my favorite day of the week until I became an adult with one full time and two part time jobs! Now my favorite day of the week is Friday. Well, every other Friday. We hope you had a great Valentine's Day! But the day of love is over, back to cruel reality. Actually, it's a gorgeous day outside! Craig and I have so much fun with our Morning Show. Bringing you the latest Entertainment and Local News every weekday morning! For example, Kelly Ripa's visible nipple's in her Stella McCartney 'miracle' dress on Live! with Kelly the other morning... Viewers e-mailed in complaining about it, it was hilarious. 20 Facebook users who had mistaken Whitney Houston for Oprah Winfrey, and don't forget the gaggle of kids Tweeting during the Grammy's who didn't know who Paul McCartney was. Hey kids, he's Stella McCartney's DAD, you know the fashion designer? Oh, also, he was in this band- super popular in the 60's, you might have heard of them, they were called the BEATLES with an A, like "beat." Give me a break!

 

Have a great rest of the week!

No snow in the forecast, sorry winter sports afficionados. This was not your winter...

SNOW WAY! http://kowzfm.com/morningshow.php?d=52 Thanks for visiting KOWZFM.COM

I can't believe it! It's SNOWING! This rules! However, it did not rule this morning when there was literally frost  forming inside my 1989 Oldsmobile- but it sure is nice to finally see some snow on the ground :) There are some really fun events happening as we near the end of January! Tonight is "Redneck Night" at the Eagles Club in Owatonna. Johnny Cash tribute band Church of Cash is playing and it's going to be amazing. Craig and I interviewed the frontman on the morning show today and he sounds exactly like Johnny Cash. I got bashful. Speaking of great oppportunities for seeing some LIVE music this weekend- The Michelle Jamison Band is playing at Ryder's Bar N Grill in Janesville Saturday night! They are a boogie blues power house, and there is NO COVER, so go check them out!

For more information on that event visit their Facebook Event page:

Hey everybody! Thanks for visiting KOWZFM.COM!

It finally feels like January! And we could be getting some snow, which rules- Goodness knows Don White wants to get out on that snowmobile! Awww, poor Don! We could get up to 5 inches this weekend! Yeah, we'll see about that! Hey-the new season of American Idol starts tonight! Can't wait to see Steven Tyler's antics. The auditions are usually pretty fun! It's rockin' Wednesday here in the KOWZ studio. Craig has been busting out some pretty awesome tunes, but that's typical! Both Craig and I desperately need haircuts, so that's probably happening at some point today. Craig is wearing a baseball cap to mask his craaazy bed head. Ha! Happy Winnie the Pooh Day. Watch American Idol tonight!

Thanks for visiting the KOWZ Morning Show Blog!

We hope you have all been enjoying the unseasonably warm January we've had so far! If you are big into winter sports, probably not though... Feels more like Jarch, or Janutober. Perfect weather for heading out to a movie though!

Have you been to Northwoods CInema 10 lately? They now feature 3-D pictures! We will be giving away two movie passes every Thursday during our Morning Trivia here on KOWZ 100.9!

Some of the movies showing at Northwoods Cinema 10 in Owatonna this weekend are: War Horse, Adventures of TIn Tin (also in 3D), Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol, Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Sherlock Holmes Game of Shadows and more!

Happy New Year!

 

Thanks for visiting the KOWZ FM Blog!

Molly Penny here :) I've been holding down the fort while Craig is on vacation! It has been so much fun-Thanks for tuning in! We have had our first trivia winners of 2012 already this week. Congratulations and thanks for playing!

Today is the one day of the election year when Iowa gets Nation-wide attention! The long awaited Iowa CAUCUSES! ahhhhh! Iowa had a lot more appeal to me before they put Sonic drive-thru restaurants in Minnesota. Now family is the only reason I go there. That, or driving through it on my way to KC. But anyway- it's always exciting to see how the game changes once these first caucuses start! Good luck to our Republican presidential hopefuls! Some need it more than others. MORE ON THAT LATER!
I'm blogging in studio- about to interview our Personal Trainer Jim Hensrud! If you have a question for Jim you can contact him via e-mail at:  ASKJIM@KOWZONLINE.COM

:)

All for now!

New Years Beav http://kowzfm.com/morningshow.php?d=47 Greetings from KOWZ 100.9!

 

We hope you all had a fabulous Holiday weekend and safe travels, enjoying time with family!

 

My brother gave me Beavis and Butthead pajama pants as a Christmas gift. He is usually very thoughtful about what he gets me, and wants to make sure I like it- this year he said 'I don't care. Your getting these.' hahaha :) Thanks Marcus!

Molly Penny here, blogging in studio on a Tuesday morning. OMG Craig just did jazz hands to our joke of the day haha. He cracks me up! Happy Kwanza by the way! New Years is coming up this weekend already, as we push through the pain of this post holiday work week! Craig was joking that a lot of people are going to be putting in 40 hours of Facebook this week- speaking of Facebook, we invite you to 'Like' us on Facebook and share with us your New Years plans! Here is a link to our page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/KOWZ-1009-FM/165869070117633  Please go to our Facebook page and let us know what your plans for the weekend are! We will share them on the air during our morning show! Although probably nobody can top Craig's plans to see Lynyrd Skynyrd at a street dance in Nashville on New Years Eve. FREE BIRD!!!!!!!!! I'm jelly. I'll be sipping on fake bubbly, watching the ball drop on t.v. with my kiddies, ringing in 2012 in my Beavis and Butthead pajama pants!

 

Have fun! Be safe!

 

All for now!

All I Want for Christmas is YouTube http://kowzfm.com/morningshow.php?d=46

Planned for a 7 week deployment exercise with other nations, diverted to Libya and further operations, HMS Ocean found out they were coming back back in time for Christmas- after 7½ months away - 225 days with 176 at sea :) They made this video to celebrate! We love it!

Welcome home, troops!

We posted this on our Facebook page as well!

Top 10 'Politically Correct' Holiday Songs http://kowzfm.com/morningshow.php?d=45 Welcome to the KOWZ Morning Show Blog!

Notice how nobody says "Merry Christmas" anymore? ;) I feel like if I were to yell it across the street, cars would come to a screeching halt. Just kidding- it's not that bad! But people are noticeably more sensitive lately than ever before. Indeed, Craig and I are always PC....

Here is  a list of the Top 10 Politically Correct Holiday Songs:

 

10. O Holiday Tree

9. Have Yourself a Merry Little Day of Winter

8. Frosty the Snowperson

7. Chestnuts Roasting on a Safely contained, continuously monitored, Eco-Friendly non-toxic outdoor fire (for which I do have a permit)

6. Higher Power Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

5. Grandma Allegedly Got Run Over By an Unidentified Non-Human Perpetrator

4. Deck the Halls with Boughs of Unendangered Foliage (If office policy permits)

3. Hark! The Herald Mythical Winged Creature Sings

2. I Saw Mommy Greeting Santa Claus with a Purely Platonic Expression of Inoffensive Mutual Affection

1. I'll be Home for a Short Period of Time in December

 

Hahahaha! LOVES IT!

All for now :)

The Old Yule Blog http://kowzfm.com/morningshow.php?d=44 Thanks for visiting KOWZFM.COM!

 

It's a beautiful day in the KOWZ studio, a beautiful day for blogging- Would you be mine? Could you be mine! Craig and I are both wearing Mr. Rogers sweaters because it's a chilly 3 degrees out today! Hope you all are staying warm and having a great week!

Did you see that KOWZ is on Facebook and Twitter? Haha, yes we are on the Twitter now! You can like KOWZ 100.9 FM on Facebook or follow kowz&krueradio on Twitter!

WAVE OF THE FUTURE, people! We want to stay connected with our listeners!

Ok, we talked about this in the Morning Show today- And yes, it's true: apparently TLC's What Not To Wear is having an episode devoted to the Minnesota State Fair! This comes as no real surprise! Have you ever people watched at the Fair? It's like a time warp into the late 80's, only somehow more greusome. It should be an entertaining episode! It airs on Tuesday, Dec. 13th!

Maybe we'll post a clip from it on our Facebook page! ;)

If you have any comments or requests for our Morning Show please leave them below! Craig and I are open to suggestions from our listeners about what you want to hear! Afterall, we are YOUR Morning Moo Crew!

 

Stay Warm!
