Lil Weezy as a Lil' Rocker, Chris Cornell teams up with Timbaland, and Metallica fans get peed on! (1-28-09)

On this edition of the Jukebox the Great Debate raged on! The separation of rock and rap is no longer existent. You all voted Run DMC out of the Rock and Hall of Fame, and this week we talked about two other crossover projects.

We discussed Lil' Wayne's latest endeavor to be an international superstar by attempting to conquer the world of rock and roll. His new single is called "Prom Queen." Its off the album The Rebirth , which you can read about here. You can also listen to Phil's rant on Lil' Wayne below.

Ziggy Was A Star...

David Bowie is thinking about bringing back his famed character Ziggy Stardust for a music festival, according to ever-reliable reports across the blogosphere.



Rumors are that Bowie will be appearing at the Coachella Rock Festival in April. Bowie apparently refused to play the festival last year, and Mr. Purple Rain himself Prince took over as the headliner.

The Brits love their Ziggy, and one particular article ponders what Ziggy would be doing today. Check out the article here.

Oh-Bama, Run DMC in the Rock HOF and one more reason to hate Lars Ulrich (1-21-09)

Today on the Juke, we chatted about the historic inauguration of Barack Obama, and listened to a clip of the master orators speech (even though he TECHNICALLY botched that whole being sworn in thing). Listeners chimed in with their thoughts on who may be a more ballin' President, and we settled on David Palmer of 24. Check out my thoughts on Barack's Inauguration.
