Well, it looks like you guys are a lot smarter than we thought! ;) Montreal's favourite afternoon challenge was solved in 7 daysthanks to Sebastian Hernandez (Lachine)!! And, here we were thinking this one was going to be a tough one. This time around, our Dead Guy was none other than..
Raymond Albert "Ray" Kroc (October 5, 1902 – January 14, 1984) was an American businessman. He joined McDonald's in 1954 and built it into the most successful fast food operation in the world. Kroc was included in Time 100: The Most Important People of the Century, and amassed a fortune during his lifetime. He owned the San Diego Padres baseball team from 1974 until his death in 1984. Similar to another fast-food giant, KFC founder Harland Sanders, Kroc's success came late in life when he was past his 50th birthday. (More)

Thanks for the overwhelming response as I put my creative juices to the test after being hit by a "lightning bolt" this afternoon and recorded a parody version of Jake Bugg's most-requested single on CHOM!! I came up with the lyrics for this one while bathing in the dirty waters of our city and thought you might be able to feel my pain. ;)
Here's a quick video I filmed in the CHOM studio for the sake of sharing the tune... (lyrics below)
"City of Montreal" - Parody of Jake Bugg - “Lightning Bolt”
Water, we’ve got no drinking water
It’s a good thing it isn’t hotter
Or we’d all be dying of thirst on the streets
In the city of Montreal
The Metro, isn’t working from the get-go
It’s not surprising when you let go
Of your freedom to drive and try to hitch a ride
With the city ...
Summer's finally here.. it's time for barbecues, pool parties, and dusting off your favourite prog-rock records to spin in the sun! Let CHOM help you escape reality and trip out with (2) tickets to see Jethro Tull's IAN ANDERSON perform thier classic albums "Thick As A Brick I & II" live at Place-des-Arts (Oct.15).
Tune in to the Afternoon Rock Ride with Bilal every weekday at 3:40pm and listen for the signal. If you're caller-9 at 514-790-0977, you get to play "Dead Guy in an Envelope" for a chance to win.
Ask the Butt-Man a question about who the mystery "dead guy" could be (YES or NO answers only!) and then you take a stab at it. If you guess correctly, you're going to the show!
So, who could it be? Ask your friends.. maybe they can help. Good luck!

Much of the city of Montreal is experiencing a virtual drought after a strict "boil-water advisory" was issued this morning.. but, what does that mean exactly and who is really affected? You'll find all the answers to your questions here.
It might be a good idea to stock up on bottled water.. good luck finding some out there.
Be careful and rock on!
