This is too funny. For those of you too lazy to follow the link the headline is:
Kenny Rogers agrees to anger management class
I would love to see that. Goosefrabba Gambler, Goosefrabba. I wish someone would film it.
Wait for it…
Two, three, four…
On the home front the Texas Rangers actually have a pretty good marketing plan/ fan appreciation campaign scheduled this year. I received an offer via email for an invite to a pre-game party and free tickets to the April 1st Marlins Rangers exhibition game: The event is supposed to be Loda Dimes and Superstring. The event kicks off the campaign which includes:
Rangers TV announcer Josh Lewin and his band Independent George April 3. I like Josh but come on man.
American Idol semifinalist artist Celena Rae April 8 I use the work artist loosely
A Radio Disney-themed pre-game concert on May 27 Definately skip that one. I know baseball and kids go together but I don’t want to be in their section
Green River Ordinance, June 16. whoever that is
Additional artists for concerts on July 28, August 12, Christian music concert on September 2, and September 16's Hispanic Heritage Night will be announced at a later date
The Beatles debut at Shea Stadium it is not but not a bad idea from the Rangers’ Brass. Oh yeah and Robert Earl Keen
"Following the Saturday afternoon game (12:20 p.m.) of the Lone Star series versus the Houston Astros, country music star and native Texan Robert Earl Keen will perform on the newly renovated north lawn area called The Patio."
I have been a big fan of Robert Earl Keen since college. I don't know alot about music but I am certain that Live Dinner No. 2 was one of the greatest albums of all time and rivals Springsteen’s 1975-1985 Live album for the best live album ever. This is a pretty big name for the Rangers to give away. And why is Ranger management making sound decisions that are meant to enhance fan’s experience?
This is the first time in a while the Rangers promotions haven’t been a total scam. They had 70’s concession night where they advertised like everything was at 70’s prices. The only thing that was cheap was candy and popcorn.
I guess this could be a scam too but I’m not sure how. Maybe they just play the CD over the P.A. after the game or something. Barring that, it seems like things are changing for the better in Arlington. Big name Ace Millwood signed the return of the Winter Carnival and now Keen? I’m impressed Mr. Daniels.
Hey, if you’re reading this John, lower beer prices while you are at it. It’s cheaper at the strip clubs for Christ sake. Oh, and since I’m making demands go back to red hats, those were cool.
Other than that, Ranger news of note has been scarce.
Happy Friday and have a good weekend.
