INDIANAPOLIS – When Steve Sybesma launched the Indiana Rock History website and Facebook group this summer, he was more than a music fan compiling decades of concerts in a database.
Sybesma played a large role in thousands of shows that happened in Indiana, thanks to his time as co-owner of concert company Sunshine Promotions from 1974 to 2000.
right. a scary moment for her in germany. she s a good sport. now, we ve been hearing a lot about cases of extortion lately. john stamos, the actor, he fought back and he won, get this. a couple from michigan, they tried to extort him for $680,000. they told him they had photos of him with cocaine and strippers and they d sell them to the tabloids. federal prosecutors say they never had these compromising pictures. this couple, they face up to five years in prison. my question is, sitting at home with your husband, you re like, let s attack john stamos. who attacks uncle jesse? exactly. uncle jesse, come on. pick someone more believable. that doesn t seem quite right. eventually it was all, you know, not true and it worked out all right. but good for him. there he is. full house days. i remember that. well, interesting twist of fate here too. joe halderman, one of the former producers for 48 hours for cbs
leno and what went on with him and conan. that s not where they re supposed to be in terms of their positioning of kind of the armchair critic or commentary for america. i agree that for david letterman, he would be very happy to forgo those ratings points as you say. it would have been gossip, t tabloid. i think it was an embarrassment for cbs news. joe halderman was angry because he thought his live-in girlfriend had somehow taken up with dave again. the audience certainly seems to have moved on. could you argue that this all actually helped dave by making him appear more, i don t know, human? i think you could argue that. these things happen and it s how you react to them and deal with
seriously. that s what he want to distance himself from. i read something that said that a trial might have been good for ratings. nonetheless, i think you want to wrap this up. given the position letterman s in, he still gets a ratings bump anytime this comes up. a trial might have been good for ratings. i am sure he is happy to forego those extra ratings point to get this out. and not use jay leno. had halderman not pleaded guilty, how many women, what about the intern. that might have been brought this back on to the front pages. i think it definitely would have. we re in this funny situation where our late night hosts who are supposed to be commenting on the news who have been the news. this is not a comfortable position either for letterman or
kilimanjaro. what s up tonight? i climbed that mountain about 15 years ago. it is not easy. it s tough to know where to begin when you talk about congressman eric massa. he just stepped down, but why? was it tickling, was it groping, was it because he was opposed to the health care bill? also tonight, runaway prius. we ve got the 911 call from a california man whose toyota went up to 90 miles an hour on the freeway. he couldn t stop it. joe halderman reached a plea deal today. we ll tell you what it is. it s all at 360 at the top of the hour, larry. larry: 10:00 eastern, 7:00 pacific with anderson cooper. what s it like to push your body ask mine to the limit in the ultimate test of endurance. jessica biel and emile hirsch is
