ARE YOU GAME?

Yesterday after hearing Nelly on HOT 104.1 with Boogie D on what I thought was his first real interview on St. Louis radio in years, I became a fan all over again. Yesterday was the first time in a long time I felt like Nelly had a realistic connection with St. Louis. He was candid about his music, and how he called it a career and let folks know that although his recent album didn't sale like some of his earlier hits, "this is a career for me and you have ups and downs" and that he was still meeting his goals. I guess since Boogie isn't a St. Louis native he didn't tip toe around Nelly and really asked him the questions that I think people wanted to know and Nelly seemed happy to answer them all. He event talked about how he could have never expected on how he would respond to the death of his sister. If you recall his sister Jackie passed away in 2005 from a long battle with leukemia. And Jackie is a big part of why this game is so important. The 4sho4kids foundations continues to sponsor bone marrow drives across the country in the hopes that no one will ever lose a sister the way he did. For just $8 (it's $8 so don't you dare ask for the hook-up) you can support this great cause and also catch Derrty Ent take on Loose Cannon on the court. And if helping save a life doesn't move you, then come tcheck out who which superstars will be in the building including Houston's Paul Wall who will be performing at Half-Time.
