The Bucks get back from the All-Star break tonight hosting Houston. The NBA trading dealine is this Thursday and don't be surprised if the Bucks are dealing. They have some veterans with expiring contacts which are very tempting for teams that want to clear cap space for this summer's star studded free agent pool.

Songs of The Day

Dream Police-Cheap Trick(1979) the funny Audi Super Bowl commercial has renewed interest in this tune and yes that is Cheap Trick playing the "Green Police" remake on the spot. Here is the original video.

Dream Weaver-Gary Wright (1976) the former leader of a band called Spooky Tooth had a major hit with this etheral tune which is done with no guitars...only Wright's keyboards and Jim Keltner's drums. Here is a performance from just a few years ago which finds Wright in fine voice.
