Ben Taylor


Born and raised in Hutchinson, MN until I was 19. Then moved to the Twin Cities to pursue radio at Brown College in Mendota Heights. I lived in the Twins Cities for two years as I was going to school until I got my first radio job out in the middle of Wisconsin (Toughest years of my life. : P) After about two years of that, I made my way back home, or close to it in Willmar and have been having fun everyday as a part of the Big Country/Q102 Crew.
 
When I was young, I wanted to be? Didn’t really matter, just as long as it didn’t involve real work. So I guess I succeeded! AWESOME!
Alma Mater?   Hutchinson High School and Brown College.
Family? Single…kinda. In a wonderful relationship for over 2 years.
What was you favorite subject in school? Umm…none. Maybe shop class. Stay in school kids!
Favorite CD/Album/Digital Download?  Jason Aldean – Wide Open
Favorite Food? Almost anything on the grill…and pizza.
Favorite Movie? Iron Man 1 & 2
Favorite sport to watch? Minnesota Vikings Football! Go Vikes!
Favorite sport to play? Football, baseball, golf (I’m no good, but it’s fun). I like to Waterski, Wakeboard, Snowboard and snowmobile. If it has a motor I’ll probably enjoy it.


2012 Grammy Winners!


Taylor Swift and The Civil Wars are the big country winners at the 54th annual Grammy Awards. Taylor captured two categories for her hit "Mean," which she also performed during the ceremony. Taylor shared how meaningful it was to be honored for the track as she picked up her awards during the pre-televised portion of the event.

Swift was also up for Best Country Album with "Speak Now," but the honor went to Lady Antebellum's "Own The Night." New duo The Civil Wars are also a two-time winner. They got the nod for Best Country Duo/Group Performance with the title track to their album "Barton Hollow," which was also named Best Folk Album. Alison Krauss added to her record number of Grammys for a female artist, earning her 27th career Grammy for the album "Paper Airplane."

First time nominee Jason Aldean left empty handed. He was up for three awards, but lost one each to Taylor, The Civil Wars, and Lady Antebellum. But Jason still took part in the event, performing the nominated hit "Don't You Wanna Stay" with Kelly Clarkson during the show. Glen Campbell was featured in a special performance segment honoring him as a Lifetime Achievement Award winner that also featured Blake Shelton and The Band Perry. The 54th annual Grammy Awards were presented in a ceremony in Los Angeles, and aired on CBS Sunday night.

Tebowing? Really?

It's officially accepted in the the English language as a word.

Tebowing: taking a knee in prayerful reflection in the midst of athletic activity.


That's how it would be written in a dictionary...If it was in a dictionary. The reason for it's induction by the Global Language Monitor..."ESPN's frequent use of the term on its broadcasts."

TEBOWMANIA CONTINUES!

Check out Tebowing at Tebowing.com. They even have merchandise for crying out loud! LOL
