The Dallas Morning News acquires Pegasus News
There goes the neighborhood…I’m out!! The DMN will run Pegasus into the ground! Also, where is the writer Teresa Gubbins? I have not seen her on the site lately and she is a big reason why Pegasus News was so great.

Photos and concert review: Van Halen at the American Airlines Center in Dallas (June 20)
It was a GREAT show! The set list was amazing which included four songs from the new album, A DIFFERENT KIND OF TRUTH.
The AAC was pretty much sold out with the crowd loudly voicing their approval throughout the over two hour show.
This show had more energy and spark than the the MAY 1st show in Tulsa that I was able to attend. Maybe having four days off before the Dallas show might have had something to do with it since the Tulsa show was the fifth show in a seven day span.
I had thought that the 30 or so shows were postponed due to what the band describes as they "bit off more than they could chew" The dates are due to be rescheduled.
It appeared by all the smiling and hugging during the show that all is well in the VH camp. Just a little older and a littler slower but still a force!

Pegasus Favorite Five: Smoothies from fast-food chains
Wow, how lucky are you getting to try these "healthy" offerings from FastFood! Not surprised at your results.
Any suggestions on where to get " the real thing" if one is out and about and can't make it at home?

Plano couple swears off plastic for a year
I would think most people are not really aware of all the plastic and the problems that are associated with it.
Thanks for the story and maybe more folks will take notice and try and do their part.

Live Nation will charge no service fee for concert tix purchased during June
At least they are doing something, Ticketbastard continues to roll on with huge services and processing fees.
Case in point, a recent purchase:
$65.00 = Ticket Price
Convenience Charge = $11.85
Additional Taxes = $0.98
SUBTOTAL = $77.83
Oh forgot this.... Order Processing Fee = $5.50
Hey they mailed them for free!!! "Standard Mail: Allow 10 to 14 days for delivery. No Charge"
And if the event is sold out, you can go to "TICKETS NOW" (Internet Scalper - which is owned by TICKETMASTER). So essentially TICKETMASTER is scalping their OWN tickets.
So how many tickets are released to the general public and how many tickets are to be sold at TICKETS NOW for a larger margin???

Dallas-Fort Worth foodies gleefully jump through hoops for food
Also heard about this story when Ms "Gibbins" was on 1190. About time that TGubb gets a weekly food segment since food in Dallas is a "talking sport". Teresa and Pegasus News is the authority!

Dallas music grabs more air time on KEGL - 97.1
Looking at the DFW rock landscape, 102 The Edge plays Altn, Jack FM playing whatever (most songs are a “easy listening” with a rock flavor) and “Lonestar” playing the same thing it played as “KZIPS” which is the same-ole tiresome “Classic Rock” (I think they just a huge Reel-to-Reel tape machine that is 7 days long playing over-n-over-over-n…You get the idea).
Did I miss any?
So that leaves The Eagle to fill both a new and older Hard rock slot. Now I’m NOT a fan of Clear (“eeeVIL”) Channel but it’s interesting tracking the songs they play. It seems like a 3-set song list will, for the most part, include a song from 2000-2010 a song from the 90’s and then something from the 70’s-80’s.
I’ve been in Dallas since 1894 (I loved Z-ROCK which was based here in Dallas and is now an internet station call HARDRADIO) and have seen over the past few years or so DFW losing it’s Hard Rock “edge” (not that it was huge “back in the day”) with hard rock clubs closing, a seemly lack of a large number of hard rock shows coming to town and only really one hard rock radio station.
The internet is always a great FREE alternate choice, I have found a number of great hard rock channels, although that does not help you in the car.

Eight-track exhibit at Barry Whistler Gallery in Deep Ellum plays well with music lovers
Got a chance to see this and if you were around in the 8-track era, it's pretty cool to see.
Funny, I remember having a number of 8-track's that are now on display..OUCH!

Ticket sales for Nov. 2 AC/DC show at American Airlines Center postponed
I'm sure this is the reason for the on-off-on again show....
The planned October 1 start of AC/DC's latest North American tour leg has been postponed as lead singer Brian Johnson recovers from an unspecified medical procedure. The fall 2009 portion of the Black Ice World Tour will instead relaunch October 16 at Verizon Center in Washington, DC.
