Town/mini-city in Illinois, connected to the northwest side of Chicago. Noted for it's close proximity to O'hare Airport as well as featuring the Allstate Arena (where minor league teams such as the Chicago Wolves American Hockey League team play, as well as hold concerts), Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, and the Rosemont Theater (also a good concert venue).

Chicago's Alternative. Created 1992, 101.1 on the dial. Played some great music. In the later years it did have a problem with overplaying certain songs, but always knew when to surprise listeners with great songs they hardly play.
In June 2011, Randy Michaels, former CEO of Chicago-based Tribune Co. purchased the station (along with another Chicago based station 97.9 The Loop) and announced plans to turn the format into a News-Talk station on August 1st. However, all normal programming stopped on July 14, with former DJs returning and many older songs rarely played anymore being played. The final show ended just after midnight, with music being played without DJs until July 18.

Q101 was a fantastic station. Fuck Randy Michaels for killing it for something stupid like a talk station.

An Alternative Rock/Britpop band active from 1991 to 2009, fronted by brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher. Hit the big time in 1995 with the album "(What's the Story) Morning glory" and the song "Wonderwall". Other good songs include "Supersonic", "Champagne Supernova", and "The Shock of the lightning". Sadly, brotherly love wasn't always present in the band, and the last few years became less about music and more about Liam and Noel trying to one up each other (though their last album, 2008's "Dig out your soul" was pretty good), which lead to the band's breakup in Fall 2009. Noel started his own project while the other members and Liam started the band Beady Eye.

A cool new animated series on MTV (yes THAT MTV) about Mondo, a chubby 15 year old boy from New Jersey who moves to Southern California and struggles to fit in while trying to impress a girl named Jeena.
The series premiered on MTV on October 27, 2011, the same night Beavis and Butthead made their glorious return to TV. Both shows are a significant departure from some of the complete shit that's been on the network in recent years.

The return of Beavis and Butthead and the premire of Good Vibes might be enough to help get MTV out of the mud and return it to it's glorious format it had in the nineties.

Also known as Fall, the season that marks the transition from Summer to Winter, beginning on September 21 and ending on December 21. While often regarded positively for the fall foliage colors, Autumn is despised by:
1. Many people living in Northern areas due to the fact Autumn means cold weather is on the way
2. Most kids in any type of school (elementary, high, college, etc.) with a normal calendar due to the fact Autumn is the start of the school year and the furthest point away from the return of Summer/End of the year
Major Holidays in Autumn include Labor Day, Halloween, and Thanksgiving.

While Jill looks forward to Autumn because of the bright colors, Henry despises every part of the season except Halloween.

The lead singer of the band Aerosmith. A respectable man from 1970 until 2011, when he became a judge on American Idol, thus spitting in the face of more than half of his fans just so he can bash people who can't sing as well as he can, mainly because they're not as old and/or experienced as he is.
Steven Tyler is a great singer who's slowly ripping apart his reputation by telling other singers they aren't as good as him on national TV.
