Aloha and I hope you had a wonderful Halloween weekend. Hopefully the "out of sight, out of mind" theory works, but I'm running out of places to hide the candy from my boys!
If you haven't heard, Sony is extending the "limited engagement" run for "This Is It". I've also heard that once the run is over, it'll soon be on video in time for holiday gift giving!
Elton John hopes to be back on the concert trail by the end of the month. He's got more dates scheduled in the "Face To Face" tour with Billy Joel. For more details on this story, be sure to visit the station web site at 1079koolgold.com. Let wish Elton a speedy recovery.

Icons Visited Madison Square Garden At "Rock Hall 25" Celebration On Friday
The music industry is still buzzing over the star power at Friday's "The 25th Anniversary Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" concerts. Night two of the Madison Square Garden shows to mark the Hall of Fame's quarter-century mark featured collaborations and legends. Hall of Famers U2, Aretha Franklin, Metallica and The Jeff Beck Band were among those who participated in the festivities. A few surprise guests also joined in. According to "Rolling Stone," Patti Smith, the Black Eyed Peas and Bruce Springsteen jammed with U2. Also joining the Irish rockers was Mick Jagger. The Rolling Stones frontman sang "Gimme Shelter" with Bono. Aretha Franklin -- "Rock Hall 25's" sole female artist -- welcomed her son Teddy, who played in her band. Annie Lennox and Lenny Kravitz also joined the Queen of Soul on stage. Metallica's A-list friends included Ozzy Osbourne, Ray Davies of The Kinks and Lou Reed. Jeff Beck shared the stage with Sting on "People Get Ready." Guitar legend Buddy Guy also supported Beck at the show, as did ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons. Beck ended his set with an instrumental rendition of The Beatles' "A Day In the Life" that drew standing ovations.

I read somewhere that the concert will be televised at a later date. When I get that date and more information, I'll pass it on to you.
Talk to you tomorrow morning.
