93.5 Rocks The Lake

A cry for help....or just Nickelback???

Rescuers in British Columbia thought they were responding to cries for help, but it turns out it was just one man's solo Nickelback concert echoing through the forest.

The karaoke-loving camper was belting out tunes near a popular climbing area, completely unaware his tent-side tribute to Chad Kroeger had sparked a full-on search and rescue response.

Officials say he was fine "unless you count his singing." They suggest next time, maybe invest in singing lessons… or at least warn the neighbors.

Oh my.....

Thursday night, COSAR responded to reports of someone yelling for help near the Boulderfields, a popular climbing spot off the Kettle Valley Railway. Two concerned hikers called 911 after hearing repeated cries.

Since Thursday is our regular training night we responded with a full contingent of members, two RCMP officers, and our drone team. Early responders even heard faint yelling—but couldn’t make out what was being said. Was it “help”? Or worse, Nickelback?

While half the team prepped to comb the woods on foot, the rest covered nearby forest roads. Then we found him: a lone camper, singing his heart out to the trees, blissfully unaware that the acoustics of the Boulderfields had turned his tent-side concert into an accidental distress signal.

“He wasn’t in trouble,” said COSAR Search Manager Duane Tresnich. “Unless you count his singing.”

COSAR would like to thank the folks who called it in—it could have been serious. That area’s full of tricky terrain and bike trails, so better safe than sorry.

And remember, our services are always free. And the money you save could be spent on singing lessons.

Is this overkill or did he do the right thing????

If there was a Guinness World Record for most proposals to the same woman, Luke Wintrip should probably get it. And his own wife (Sarah) thinks so, too!

Over the seven years they dated, she turned him down 42 times. And these were extravagant proposals - candlelit dinners, on horseback, on the beach in Jamaica.

Once he even rented out a castle in Prague, but she still said no.

On the 43rd time when she finally said ‘yes’.

She says she wanted to make him work for it. (Did he ever!)

A woman finally said 'yes' to her boyfriend, who proposed 43 times in seven years. She said she is 'grateful he persisted for so long.'

Today is International Blues Music Day, celebrating the origins and influences of ‘The Blues’ in modern culture and all music.

The Blues developed in the Deep South after the Civil War.

Its history is still murky, but it’s believed early Blues music was influenced by slave work songs, minstrel show music, gospel church songs, and even some ragtime.

Here at the lake, we love our blues music! Tune in every Sunday at 10AM to hear "Off The Record" and many other great blues programs on your home for the Blues at the Lake!

Battle of Man VS AI....where does your job fall when it comes to AI replacing humans?

Microsoft has just ranked the Top-10 most AI-proof careers, with nursing assistants, painters, and oral surgeons the safest jobs out there.

Except, would you trust that list considering it was compiled using A.I.?

They also found that automotive glass installers, tire repair mechanics, and phlebotomists (people who draw your blood at the doctor’s office) are the least exposed to AI assistance. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/publication/working-with-ai-measuring-the-occupational-implications-of-generative-ai/?utm_source=chatgpt.com

😭😭😭😭

Ozzy Osbourne has died at the age of 76, according to a statement from his family.

The BBC reports that the Prince Of Darkness, who helped to pioneer heavy metal with his work in Black Sabbath, passed away this morning (July 22). No cause of death has been given.

The Osbournes say in a statement: “It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.”

Osbourne’s death come mere weeks after he played his retirement show: an all-day extravaganza called Back To The Beginning, held at Villa Park in his hometown of Birmingham on July 5. The concert saw the singer play both a four-song solo set and a five-song set with the other founding members of Black Sabbath: guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler and drummer Bill Ward.

The bill at Back To The Beginning was rounded out by such rock and metal superstar as Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Anthrax and Slayer. All proceeds from the event are going to various Birmingham charities and a concert film is coming out in cinemas next year.

Osbourne co-founded Black Sabbath in 1968 and made eight albums with the group before splitting from them in 1979. He then launched a successful solo career, which kicked off with the 1980 album Blizzard Of Ozz. Osbourne returned to Sabbath from 1997 to 2006 and again from 2011 to 2017.

Osbourne is survived by his wife/manager Sharon, whom he married in 1982, and six children.
