http://www.cbc.ca/thehour
How did a bunch of home-schooled boys from
Tennessee go on to sell out stadiums around
the world? Well, Caleb, Nathan and Jared
Followill are brothers and along with their
first cousin Matthew they are 'Kings Of
Leon.' The brothers grew up driving across
the south with their dad - a Pentecostal
preacher. They didn't really have a home,
they lived on the road, going from one church
service to the next, sleeping in hotels,
churches, even their car. They didn't listen
to rock music, or watch TV. But just over ten
years ago, everything changed. Their dad left
the church and divorced his wife. So, the
boys started to get into music, formed a band
and by 2002, 'Kings of Leon' had interest
from nine labels. After a bidding war, the
guys released their debut EP in 2003. Five
years of touring and four records
latern'Kings of Leon' sells out arenas now,
in under an hour. They're huge in Europe,
Australia and New Zealand. And are starting
to hit it big in the U-S. They've opened for
U2, Bob Dylan and Pearl Jam. 'Rolling Stone'
magazine recently asked "How good can these
guys get?"nTheir new album is called 'Only By
The Night.' It debuted in the top 5 in
Canada, with the hit single 'Sex on Fire.'

| Phil Esposito on The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos |
 |
http://www.cbc.ca/thehour
Phil Esposito, undoubtedly one of hockey's
all-time greats and a member of the Hockey
Hall of Fame. He's best known for grabbing
rebounds and scoring goals - a lot of 'em.
Until Gretzky came along he held the NHL
record for most goals in one season with 76.
Phil started his career with Chicago in the
early '60s but the Blackhawks traded him to
Boston in 1967. Big mistake. The Bruins
already had a certain Mr. Bobby Orr and when
Phil joined the team he kept on scoring,
helping them to win the holy grail - twice.
Phil was also a big part of Team Canada's win
over Russia, in the 1972 'Summit Series', one
of the most important sporting victories in
Canadian history. Espo was team captain, he
set up that winning goal and led the team in
scoring. True to his outspoken nature, he
also famously called out Canadian fans for
booing their own players. In 1981, Phil
retired from playing and got into coaching
and managing. As GM of the New York Rangers,
he was nicknamed 'Trader Phil' and in the
early '90s founded the expansion Tampa Bay
Lightning. These days Phil's got a daily XM
satellite radio show about hockey and has
appeared in a few TV shows, most recently
playing himself on 'Rent-A-Goalie'.
