Andy Griffith Was A True American Legend!

Ty James — Thu, 05 Jul 2012 22:15:38 +0000

When I was little, I used to watch “The Andy Griffith Show” all the time with my Grandma. That theme song is also the very reason that I learned how to whistle, in fact. Andy Griffith passed away yesterday, at the age of 86. Suffice it to say, we lost a good one. and he [...]

Over One Third Of Americans Believe In Aliens!

Ty James — Thu, 28 Jun 2012 22:27:32 +0000

It was reported yesterday that 36% of Americans believe in aliens from outer space. Are you serious? It has always been hard for me to believe in things that I cannot see, and cannot feel. It’s even harder to believe in something that you really only see in movies, and on TV. Aliens, though? 42% [...]

Howard Jones Visits The Traffic Jam!

Ty James — Tue, 26 Jun 2012 23:42:17 +0000

It was my absolute pleasure this afternoon, to interview 80′s legend Howard Jones. I have seen him three times in concert, but none of those were in the last 25 years. Tonight, Howard Jones is playing at The Varsity Theater, in Minneapolis. I tracked him down this afternoon, however, and asked him a few questions [...]

Ty's Forgotten Greats – BERLIN!

Ty James — Wed, 20 Jun 2012 01:15:21 +0000

Aaaahhh, the power of the 80′s! Those of us that were there remember the music. There once was a thing I used to love very much back then. It was called ‘new wave’ music. I laugh at the term now, because it is 30 years later, and nothing about the 80′s is ‘new’ anymore. But [...]

The MIX 94.9 Summer Movie Experience continues on, this Friday night at The Parkwood 17 Theaters in Waite Park. This show has quite the cast – and if you are still a fan of 80′s music – especially the hard rock, long hair kind – then you are going to love this movie. Rock of [...]

Scooby Doo & Spiderman Coming To St. Cloud Soon!

Ty James — Mon, 11 Jun 2012 19:04:16 +0000

MIX 94.9 is always glad to be out at Joe Faber Field with the St. Cloud Rox – and coming up very soon, are a couple of nights that you won’t want to miss. I can’t even tell you how long I’ve been a fan of Scooby Doo. OK, I’ve always had a bit of [...]

Father's Day Is Getting Close!

Ty James — Thu, 07 Jun 2012 18:10:22 +0000

What does the average American dad in Minnesota want this year for Father’s day? The answer surprised me, though I am much simpler and more “low tech” than most guys, to be sure. According to Pricegrabber – @ 48% of American men this year want a tablet computer. That is infinitely too high tech for [...]

Danny Elfman Has Been A Mainstay In Pop Culture For Decades!

Ty James — Wed, 30 May 2012 01:03:22 +0000

You know how some birthdays make you feel old? Well, today Danny Elfman turned 59 years old – do you know who he is? Because we all should. He is way up there, and has been for quite some time. I will explain. Most people nowadays recognize him as the guy wrote the theme for [...]

What Memorial Day Is Really About!

Ty James — Sun, 27 May 2012 22:03:09 +0000

Memorial Day is very important. When you realize, and understand, its meaning – there is no question that Memorial Day probably does not get it’s just due. It should mean a lot more than just a “day off”. Memorial Day is now a federal holiday, observed each year on the last Monday in May. But, [...]

The One Thing No Man Wants To Do!

Ty James — Fri, 25 May 2012 01:21:06 +0000

Ladies - listen to me, and listen to me GOOD!

There is one thing that you absolutely CANNOT try and force your man to do against his will.

A study from scientists at Stanford University, claims that men, in general - are not capable of going on a successful DIET (Daily Mail)! Can you believe that?

News That All Moms Probably Know!

Ty James — Thu, 24 May 2012 01:38:56 +0000

Apparently, there IS a big advantage to waiting until you’re a bit older, to have kids. But wait until you’re in your 40′s? That seems a bit too long, maybe, to me. But I am certainly no expert on being a mother. A study from the University of Virginia claims that children born to moms [...]

Celebrate Memorial Day At The Benton Station!

Ty James — Tue, 22 May 2012 13:16:28 +0000

In case you weren't aware - we have a three day weekend approaching. This Monday is Memorial Day, which means you probably don't work. That also means that you are free to go out and have some fun on Sunday night!

What I'm getting to (albeit in a roundabout kind of way) is that this Sunday night at The Benton Station

Donna Summer Was Far More Than Just The Queen Of Disco!

Ty James — Fri, 18 May 2012 17:02:03 +0000

When Donna Summer passed away a few days ago, I noticed that a few of my younger friends didn’t even really bat an eye. They weren’t familiar with who she was, which is understandable, since her heyday was back in the late 70′s-early 80′s. But those of us that remember disco, and were around back [...]
