A very small, albeit vocal group of parents in Massachusetts are expressing concerns over an upcoming Machine Gun Kelly concert. Despite his appearances all over the country on Dick Clark’s Rockin’ New Years Eve and the NFL Draft, these parents have missed the memo about who MGK is and what he represents. The parents are very concerned over his name, claiming that it is far too violent of a name for their state to accept. MGK, in the past, has attributed his name to his fast, machine-like style of rapping, as well as notorious bank robber George “Machine Gun Kelly” Barnes.

A man decided that he needed to let one rip and that the best location was going to be in someone’s house. The occupant of that house? A frail, old woman. The result of what he does is truly shocking, but is it horrendous or hilarious? Take a look:

Bored and tired of streaming Futurama for the billionth time? Dave Grohl has you covered.
What Drives Us, a new documentary on Amazon Prime, is now playing. It dives into the early days of the Foo Fighters, who built up cred city-by-city the old fashioned way: by hitting the road and touring in a van. It’s the way pretty much the same formula that ANY band has to follow, as Rolling Stone notes in their coverage of the film:
“All of the biggest bands in the world, they had to start somewhere. Everybody I know started out like this: in a van,” Dave Grohl says at the onset of his new documentary, a film that chronicles the early touring days of some of rock’s most enduring groups, including U2, Metallica, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and, of course, the Foo Fighters.”

I always said I could never go vegan because there was no way I could give up Italian Beefs. Well thanks to Buona Beef’s new vegan beef, I may have to eat those words…literally. Over the last week the legendary restaurant chain added a meatless version of their iconic sandwich and apparently its amazing. Like, sold 2,000 lbs of the stuff amazing. THATS A LOT OF (NOT)BEEF, YOU GUYS! So is the sandwich legit? Or is this further proof that you can make anything taste good with enough giardiniera?
Wow. We can’t believe the amount of support we’ve received over the last couple of days about our new sandwich. Due to high demand for our Plant-Based Sandwich, we have SOLD OUT of the sandwiches at multiple locations. We’ll be working hard to get more product in our stores ASAP pic.twitter.com/j4C0r16N6w

A committee just voted in favor of renaming part of Lake Shore Drive (from Hollywood Avenue to 67th Street) to Jean Baptiste Point Du Sable Drive in honor of Chicago’s first resident, but is this the best idea?
We don’t exactly have the greatest track record on accepting new names.
See: Sears Tower.

A Las Vegas news anchor was arrested this week after being found passed out and naked behind the wheel. The anchor had been drinking and didn’t want to make the drive home (smart), so she stripped down and slept behind the wheel (smart, if you’re a fan of sleeping nude). It’s amazing how close we all are to waking up naked in our cars.

A DNA-tracking product could soon be hitting the market that will be able to expose you for not picking up after your dog. That’s what one county in Ireland has started doing after an issue with arose with owners not picking up after their pets. This creates a huge public hazard as “along with canine waste being unpleasant, it additionally poses a danger to well being as it could actually comprise micro organism similar to E-coli and parasites similar to roundworm, the larvae of which may trigger lack of imaginative and prescient.”

WKQX’s “The KQX Morning Crew” Contest
Official Rules
A complete copy of these rules can be obtained at the offices of radio station WKQX-FM (“Station”), owned and operated by Chicago FM Radio Assets, LLC, located at 455 N. Cityfront Plaza Drive, Suite 1700, Chicago, IL 60611, during available business hours Monday through Friday, Station website www.101wkqx.com, or by sending a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the above address.
The Station will conduct the WKQX’s “The KQX Morning Crew” Contest (the “Contest”) substantially as described in these rules, and by participating, each participant agrees as follows:
Eligibility. This Contest is open only to legal U.S. residents, excluding dual Florida and New York residents, age eighteen (18) years or older at the time of entry with a valid Social Security number and who reside in the Station’s Designated Market Area (“DMA”) as defined by Nielsen Audio, who have not won a prize from the Station in the last ten (10) days or a prize valued at $500 or more in the last ninety (90) days, and whose immediate family members or household members have not won a prize from the Station in the last thirty (30) days or a prize valued at $500 or more in the ninety (90) days. Void where prohibited by law. Employees of Chicago FM Radio Assets, LLC, Station, each of their parent company, affiliates, related entities and subsidiaries, promotional sponsors, prize providers, advertising agencies, other radio stations serving the Station’s DMA, and the immediate family members and household members of all such employees are not eligible to participate. The term “immediate family members” includes spouses, parents and step-parents, siblings and step-siblings, and children and stepchildren. The term “household members” refers to people who share the same residence at least three (3) months out of the year. The Contest is subject to all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations. Participation constitutes entrant’s full and unconditional agreement to these Official Rules and Station’s decisions, which are final and binding in all matters related to the Contest. Winning a prize is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements set forth herein.
Listen to the Station weekdays which “The KQX Morning Crew” is on the air during the Contest Period. When the Station plays the “cue-to-call” sounder and which designated number in order (e.g., ninth caller) will be the caller who will win, listeners must call the Station at 312-591-8300. The designated caller to the Station, as determined by the Station in its sole discretion, will be a potential winner. If the station does not receive the designated number of entries within ten (10) minutes after each cue-to-call, then the Station will randomly choose a caller from all valid entries during that timeframe to be the winner of the prize. Time Delay Between Over-the-Air Analog Signal and Internet Broadcast: Due to the time delay that exists between the Station’s analog over-the-air signal and the Station’s online webcast, listeners who listen to the Station online may hear the cue to call later than listeners listening to the Station’s analog over-the-air signal. As a result, the odds of an online listener entering this Contest on-air may be diminished.
There is no substitution, transfer, or cash equivalent for prizes, except that the Station may, at its sole discretion and to the extent permitted by law, substitute prizes of comparable value or cash. The prizes are expressly limited to the item(s) listed above and do not include taxes, gratuities or any other expenses. Any tickets and/or gift certificates/cards awarded as part of a prize will be subject to the terms and conditions set forth by the issuer and are valid only on the date(s) printed on the tickets or gift certificates/cards.

Effective immediately, Chicago’s Phase 4 regulations are loosening up. This means the return of FESTIVALS, the opening of the Lakefront, increased capacity for venues, restaurants, churches and more!
Summary from BlockClubChi:
At the same time, the city announced people who are fully vaccinated — meaning it’s been 14 days since they received their final vaccine dose — will not count toward capacity limits at private events like weddings.
People will still need to keep 6 feet apart and wear face coverings, among other protective measures. Officials are also encouraging people to get fully vaccinated to stop the pandemic and fully resume normal life.”
