RANDOM MUSIC KNOWLEDGE FROM WIKIPEDIA:

Official rock song of Oklahoma

In March 2009 “Do You Realize??” was announced as the official rock song of Oklahoma. Ten choices were put to a public vote, and out of 21,000 votes cast nearly 51% were for “Do You Realize??” The Oklahoma Senate approved this choice unanimously. However, on April 23, 2009, the Oklahoma House of Representatives failed to confirm the choice, after Rep. Mike Reynolds, R-Oklahoma City attacked the band for its use of offensive language, and Rep. Corey Holland, R-Marlow said he had been “really offended” when a band member came to the announcement ceremony in March wearing a red T-shirt with a yellow sickle and hammer. However, that evening Oklahoma Governor Brad Henry announced he would sign an executive order naming the song the official rock song. Henry said that for more than 20 years the Flaming Lips have produced “creative, fun and provocative rock music.” “The music of the Flaming Lips has earned Grammys, glowing critical acclaim and fans all over the world,” the governor said. “A truly iconic rock n’ roll band, they are proud ambassadors of their home state. “They were clearly the people’s choice, and I intend to honor that vote.”

UMPHREY’S MCGEE          

Calling all Umphreaks!  Tickets for the UM show at the Mishawaka Amphitheatre on Friday, September 4th, 2009 are fast approaching a sell-out.  From what I have heard the last batch of available tickets are for sale @ Rockin’ Robins here in town and they are expecting a sell-out, so get them while they last. You will not want to miss this amazing show.

Founded in 1997 in the shadows of the Golden Dome of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana, Umphrey’s McGee soon made Chicago home base, and set their sights on becoming one of the premier live acts in today’s touring circuit. Over the course of the last ten years, the band has performed at festivals such as Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza, and continues to sell out shows in the nation’s premier venues coast to coast. They have toured Europe multiple times and performed at Japan’s Fuji Rock Festival in 2006. As their sound evolves with every passing show, the live concerts sold on their expansive music archive site UMLive.net continue to be in high demand by their hungry fan base. The second decade of Umphrey’s McGee is fueled with Mantis in the tank, and the band shows no signs of letting up.  (From Umphreys.com)
