Jason Bonham announced today his Led Zeppelin Experience tour will be coming to Portland November 26 at The Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall. For more details log onto jblze.com.

Check out a conversation with Jason Bonham and Kgon’s Iris Harrison…and join me for Get The Led Out every weeknight at 10.

It makes you wonder if the guys in the band ever talk . Joe Perry isn’t happy with Steven Tyler’s interest in becoming an American Idol judge. The Aerosmith guitarist tells the Boston Herald, “I found out on the Internet like the rest of the world.” He says he asked Tyler about it, but the singer told him he couldn’t discuss it. “I mean, after working with me for 40 years, he couldn’t tell me about this? Why so secretive? We’re told it’s a done deal. If Steven is committed to a TV show, that kind of affects the rest of us. We’d like to plan our lives, ya know?” There’s still no confirmation from Tyler or FOX about whether he got the job. Aerosmith are in The Woodlands, Texas tonight.

Well, I pretty much have my day planned for Sunday…doesn’t really differ from any other Sunday though…except it’s day four of the U.S. Open…Go Phil!! I”m gonna “Weberize” some kind of meat, throw back several cold ones and watch the drama unfold.

If you’re a dad, enjoy the day and remember the 10 things you’ll never here us say…except for #1 (for me anyway).

10. “Well, how ’bout that? I’m lost! Looks like we’ll have to stop and ask for directions.”
9. “You know Pumpkin, now that you’re 13, you’ll be ready to start dating boys who drive. Won’t that be fun?”
8. “I noticed that all your friends have a certain hostile attitude. I like that.”
7. “Here’s a credit card and the keys to my new car. GO CRAZY!!”
6. “What do you mean you wanna play football? Figure skating’s not good enough for you, son?”
5. “Your Mother and I are going away for the weekend. You might want to consider throwing a party.”
4. “Well, I don’t know what’s wrong with your car. Probably one of those doo-hickey thingies — ya know — that makes it run or something. Just have it towed to a mechanic and pay whatever he asks.”
3. “No son of mine is going to live under this roof without a nose earring. Now quit your bellyaching, and let’s go to the mall.”
2.”What do you wanna go and get a job for? I make plenty of money for you to spend.”
1. “What do I want for Father’s Day? Aahh — don’t worry about that. It’s no big deal.” (OK, they might say it. But they don’t mean it.)

Ice Cream Bike Riders: Looking for a summer job in Portland, Oregon? There’s an opening for you to ride your bike around town selling ice cream to kids. They want to call you an “ice cream biker,” and we can’t disagree. You’d get paid in cash. All you need is a resume and a statement explaining why you’d be a “great ice cream biker.”

Forklift Bilingual: We have no idea what this ad is for or how much they’re paying — all we know is that they want a “bi-lingual forklift.” Isn’t it enough to have a forklift that talks — now it has to speak both English and Spanish? Either way, give them a call and figure out what in the world is going on.

Applebee’s DJ: This Austin, Texas Applebee’s is looking for a band or a DJ to fill time slots throughout the summer. You’ll be working both inside and outside of the restaurant. One would assume metal heads need not apply. The pay depends on how often you work, we think.

Comedian Wanted: If you’re a stand-up comic, these folks need you to entertain people at an “annual event.” You’ll have to have — gasp! — 50 minutes of material, so start thinking of comics to rip off now. You’ll pretty much be the host of the event, telling jokes in between presenters and then closing out the show. You’ll get free drinks and the pay is negotiable. Yuk yuk.

This weekend is Mother’s Day. It might be fun to hang out with mom and watch a DVD with her.

But, according to TheCampusSocialite.com, here’s a rundown of some movies that you might NOT want to watch with her:

The 40-Year-Old Virgin – Just like all the raunchy comedies out there (Knocked Up, Superbad, Forgetting Sarah Marshall), there’s too many bodily fluid jokes to worry about.

Basic Instinct – Sharon Stone crossing and un-crossing her legs … not a scene to see with mom.

Boogie Nights — Any movie about the porn industry shouldn’t be seen with mom — especially this one.

Secretary – What looks like a fun movie about a boss and his secretary, starring James Spader and Maggie Gyllenhaal is really an S&M romp.

Wild Things – Two scenes knock this one out of contention. There’s the infamous threesome between Matt Dillon, Neve Campbell and Denise Richards – as well as the topless girl-on-girl pool make-out scene between Richards and Campbell.

Eyes Wide Shut – This film would be fine if not for the 20-minute orgy scene.

As guys, we know that there are some occurrences in life that make us very nervous … like when your team is holding onto a one-run lead in the 9th, or when your girlfriend is in the bathroom with a pregnancy test, or when your wife or girlfriend utters one of these Nine Deadly Phrases …

1. “Fine.” She uses this in an argument to tell you it’s time to shut up.

2. “Five minutes.” If she’s getting dressed, “five minutes” means more like 30-minutes. If you’re watching a game and she gives you “five minutes,” then five minutes means five minutes.

3. “Nothing.” “Nothing” means something, and you’re going to find that out in a big way very soon.

4. “Go ahead.” This is a dare. Be careful, because if you “go ahead” and do whatever it is you want to do, things are going to get ugly.

5. Loud sigh. This non-verbal word means she thinks you’re an idiot and she’s wondering why she’s wasting her time on you.

6. “That’s OK.” This is a delay tactic. She just needs some more time to figure out how to make you pay.

7. “Thanks.” She’s genuinely thankful, so you need to just “you’re welcome” and then back away. If she says “Thanks a lot,” she’s being sarcastic and you’re in big trouble if you say “you’re welcome.”

8. “Whatever.” This is bad. This is real bad. This is like the middle finger.

9. “Don’t worry about it. I got it.” You haven’t done something she’s asked you to do many times and now she’s really mad.

Games for Mother’s Day Party

Doctor
Doctor is a fun party game, played by a number of people. It is played in the following way.

One of the people in the group is chosen as the “Doctor” and he/she goes outside the room. All the other people in the room have to decide on some funny ailment that he/she has. Thereafter, the doctor is called inside the room and he/she has to help the patients by discovering their ailments. For this, he has to ask them a number of questions and discover the inconsistencies in their answers. In case a person gives an answer inconsistent with his/her disease, another patient will shout “Doctor” to let the doctor know that there is something fishy. The game comes to an end when the doctor identifies at least one patient’s ailment. Now, the identified patient becomes the doctor and the whole procedure is repeated.

Dumb Charades
An interesting game, dumb charades is perfect for a large number of people. Check out how to play dumb charades…

The total number of people is divided into two teams, example A and B, with an equal number of players. A player from team A is called and given the name of a film or a song. Now that player has to explain the name of the film or song to his/her team members, with actions and without uttering a single word. If the team members guess the name within a stipulated time, they win a point. Otherwise, their score remains zero. The same procedure is followed with a player of team B. The game goes on, till all the members of both the teams have enacted at least once. The team with the highest number of points wins the game.

Musical Chair
Musical Chair is a fun party game, played by a number of people. It is played in the following way.

The chairs are arranged in a circular manner in a hall or ground. The number of chair is one less than the total number of players. All the players are made to stand around the chairs and music is played in the background. As the music stops each of the players has to grab a chair and quickly sit on it. One of the players who could not be able to manage a seat for him has to quit. Again one chair is removed so that the number of chair always remains less than the number of players and the game is carried on, till only two players and one chair is left. At this stage, the one who grabs the only left chair in the arena emerges as a winner.

Conan O’Brien says if he had been in Jay Leno’s shoes, things would have turned out a bit differently.

In his interview with 60 Minutes, the former Tonight Show host says, “He went and took that show back and I think in a similar situation, if roles had been reversed, I know…I know me, I wouldn’t have done that. If I had surrendered The Tonight Show and handed it over to somebody publicly and wished them well and then…six months later. But that’s me, you know. Everyone’s got their own, you know, way of doing things.”
