Hey yo
Turn it up and go turn it down
Here we go we go shake it
Cause everywhere we go we
Bring the action
I wanna scream and shout and let it all out
And scream and shout and let it out
Cause I was feeling down and now feel better
It goes on and on and on and on
When your hear us in the club
You gotta...
A sports star we’re reading of is: young Liam Stewart‘s hockey bling in the NHL. Liam is the Spokane Chief’s centre and happens to also be rocker Rod Stewart‘s son.
Stewart is part of a new breed of show biz dad’s children in the skating line for NHL careers playing centre. (more…)
It’s a neck-and-neck fight for the top spot on the website today. Coming in with two votes more than his nearest peers and ’rivals’ (all tied in second place) is NZ’s All Blacks rugby football captain, with a brand new book written with a gifted Kiwi playwright.–Photo: Book press, TVNZ’s Close Up Team‘s Mark Sainsbury.
Rachel Hunter‘s website reveals her last three tweets. The model mother of Spokaine Chief’s hockey star, Liam Stewart had this to share. They are: “I have just had my eyes checked. Driving glasses. Oh dear.” And: RT @rachelhunterx chickens, cattle and pigs live in such hard conditions. Especially those whose demise is predetermined.” Finally Hunter is also promoting breast cancer awareness too.
The vibe is Scottish Kiwi today.
Richie McCaw was on the Good Morning TV show this morning with Petra Bagust, Peter Williams and Rawdon Christie promoting the book. Demonstrating the art of Southern mainland humility combined with lethal rugby smarts prose, his interview follows.
On the late rugby icon Jock Hobbs father of rugby’s young Michael Hobbs, McCaw said: “He was hugely special man to me. I am so pleased he got to see the fruits and see the all blacks win. The man and the fight he had, he’s amazing. I was a bit choked up.”
That’s gotta be one of the saddest things that happened at the time. A reminder to always look after your health and to love life, while competing in the school of hard knocks.
On rugby in general at the World Cup winning stage 2011: “You have to ask yourself, can i go out and do my job? Can i go out and do what i need to do? I am lucky to have a go. Learn own lessons rather than what you can’t control. It’s the men who are beside you, that you gotta trust [when pained and] your body is on the line.”
Masterful, honest nice writing.

Bitter sweet romance reflections of a rock star: In a frank new book, rock crooner, Rod Stewart describes how Rachel Hunter’s decision to leave him threw him into four months of crippling despair.
Rod Stewart has spoken with painful honesty about his marriage to model Rachel Hunter confessing that their eight-year relationship was the first in which he had been faithful to one woman.
In his sensational new book Rod: The Autobiography the star describes how Rachel’s decision to leave him threw him into four months of crippling despair, during which he had to seek therapy and lost 5.44kg.
Stewart was a 45-year-old millionaire when they met in 1990, famous for a string of glamorous girlfriends and Seventies pop anthems Maggie May and Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?
But marriage to blonde 21-year-old Hunter transformed the hard-living rocker into a devoted family man. Hunter was too down-to-earth to feel comfortable in the lavish lifestyle of an established global star. (more…)

You know that the SOE state owned energy assets plan, and broadband roll out – needs its profits prospects boosted… when I’m the only blogger in New Zealand blogging this on social media! Maybe Kiwis need Kiwi-owned social media platforms that feed on in to USA ones, before they’ll buy into growing social media platforms… as an art form of communication and IT culture?
On that note… Let’s go rock stars! :)
