Hi, It’s Craig Russell, host of The Afternoon Hustle here on Classic Hits 98.7 WFGR! I have worked in places all over Michigan, but that’s not important. I’m here in West Michigan now, eatin' Fred's Pizza (yum!) buying my milk at Meijer, and playing Classic Hits of the 60's 70's and 80's FOR YOU! Call, email or Facebook the show and be part of the fun!

David Lee Roth Bald???
This has been a troubling day on the interwebs.
First, the Cadbury Creme Egg scandal.
Now, word is that Diamond Dave, Van Halen's David Lee Roth, has shaved his golden locks bald.
Cadbury To Change Creme Egg Recipe!
Whenever I see the name "Cadbury" I always think of the butler from the Richie Rich comic books. I used to collect those as a kid (No, I'm not a Marvel fan) So when I saw this horrific story, I started to remember my days a youth growing up on the mean streets of Portage.
How Would You Like To Be An Internet Sensation?
I used to make meme's of myself."Craig's Meme of the Day" was so 2014. I have moved on....or not ;) But I am not an internet meme sensation. But Kyle Craven is. Or was.
What If There Were Only 100 People In The World?
This breakout has been done before. It;s nothing new. But it HAS been updated to reflect the over 7 billion people who are inhabiting the Earth.
Guess What’s Coming Back? Jose Babushka’s
Very rarely does a local restaurant close it's doors or get sold to a bigger company, then 20 years later resurface. Jose Babushka’s is the exception to the rule!
Will JC Penney In West Michigan Close?
The latest "brand that will be eliminated this year" story isn't about Sears or Radio Shack, like it usually is. I have read a half a dozen stories in the last three years predicting those brands demise.
Real Life Peter Griffin Is Freakin’ Sweet
I;m a pretty big Family Guy fan. I think Peter Griffin is one of the funnier characters on TV. But he's a cartoon character. Until now.
Drew Carey Is a Throwback to the Golden Age Of Television!
Back in the olden days, before the internet, TV stars did it all. Some would star in 2 or 3 shows a week. And they would run the camera. Maybe take out the garbage. Drew Carey is a throwback to a bygone era.
The Most Iconic Restaurant In Michigan?
The most iconic restaurant in Michigan?
Well, it probably isn't Louis Benton Steakhouse. The downtown eatery announced it was closing earlier this week. The place that supposedly defines Michigan dining isn't even on this side of the state.
40 Years Ago: ‘Wheel … Of … Fortune’ [Video]
It was 40 years ago, Jan. 6, 1975, A brash, young Chuck Woolery reached down and spun a giant wheel on the television game show "Wheel of Fortune."
Vanna White was still a 18-year-old bubbly high school student. And Pat Sajak was a part-time DJ in Nashville.
Ted Turner’s End of the World Video
JoJo Girard and I both went to Central Michigan. At CMU before the politically correct 1990s, the annual Central/Western weekend (when WMU and CMU played the home football game in Mt. Pleasant) was also the home of the "End of the World" party. Ahh those were the days!
Guess Who Is Back On TV This Spring?
The Outdoor Channel, on your local cable or satellite TV carrier, has a slew of new shows, including Michigans' favorite hard rock wack job!
