Comments: I would like to be Miss Rocklahoma because I have always been the "great defender" of my favorite musical genre, 80's Metal! I work in a Tattoo shop with a bunch of guys who always give me a ton of crap for being a super fan of all my 80's hairbands. Im constantly teased by the guys, yet I have never let them bring me down, and I never will. Last years Rocklahoma kicked my ass hardcore and I cant wait to do it again this year! “Oh my God, you’ll never believe who is gonna be in concert (insert ANY date here).” If I had a quarter for every time I uttered those words, I would have enough to purchase lifetime tickets at the venue of my choice, because, let’s face it, music is my life. It’s not about jamming as many songs as you can on your iPod and pressing shuffle play. (Trust me, you will not find any Barbara Mandrell on my playlist!) It is about being defined by what you listen to. Ask anyone who knows me. They will tell you I can annihilate almost all of them at Rock-n-Roll Jeopardy. For most of us, music ties us to events in our lives and marks milestones and since I grew up in the 80’s most of my “coming of age” events involved some Glam-Band jam. They were our battle cries, our comfort, and our will to go on and as we grew up they became our escapes and our releases. One single memory can be tied up with one tune and every time you hear it, it takes you somewhere. My summer plans always revolve around who’s in concert and where. I have driven for two days to attend events. I have officially seen LA Guns 10 times (as of this weekend) and I will see them 10 more times if I can. Why should I be Ms. Rocklahoma? I am Rock-n-Roll and when people look at me, they know it. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

JACKYL ADDED TO ROCKLAHOMA LINEUP

PRYOR, OK - Jackyl has been signed on to bring their "Wild and Untamed" brand of Rock to Pryor, Oklahoma Saturday Night at Rocklahoma.

Director of Operations Dave Giencke said, "After Thin Lizzy's cancellation, we wanted to bring in a band that has consistently been one of the fan favorites!" "Jackyl's energy and stage presence is like no other band who has ever performed at Rocklahoma and they promise to step up even more!"

Front Man Jessie James Dupree added, "I was equally disappointed that Thin Lizzy cancelled their tour. I am a huge fan of theirs and wanted to make it down to Rocklahoma see them perform. Since I was going to be there anyway and there’s an open slot, it made sense to have Jackyl perform." "Jackyl Stock 09, let's get it on!"... Read More...
