            <story>Hey Twittergeeks!  O.A.R. wants to write a song with you!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
If you want to be a part of the very first Twitter Co-Write with O.A.R., all you have to do is put together your finest 140 characters of lyrical genius, go to &lt;a href="http://www.twitter.com/ofarevolution"&gt;twitter.com/ofarevolution&lt;/a&gt;and send 'em on in.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Only one catch!  Only 140 characters per entry allowed.  Although multiple entries per genius are welcomed, we will treat each 140 characters as a separate entry as an Individual with multiple entries can only win once in total.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
O.A.R. band members will read through all of the entries and pick 3 winning verses, a chorus, and a bridge that will make up the lyrics of the song.  O.A.R. will write music inspired by the selected lyrics, record the song, and sell the single on iTunes.  ALL PROCEEDS will be donated to the Heard the World Fund which provides resources for under-funded educational and youth oriented programs such as the Children's Scholarship Fund.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Lyrical entries will be Accepted between June 8 and July 7.  Winners will be Selected and Announced on July 21.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
One more thing, WE WILL NEED A TITLE!  After the winning lyrics are picked and posted, we will be accepting entries for a title at &lt;a href="http://www.twitter.com/ofarevolution"&gt;twitter.com/ofarevolution&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Title submissions will be Accepted between July 21 and July 31.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
O.A.R. will write, record, and produce the music inspired by the winning lyrics posting exclusive video, picture, and audio content at &lt;a href="http://www.twitter.com/ofarevolution"&gt;twitter.com/ofarevolution&lt;/a&gt; throughout the Second Leg of our Summer Tour.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; 
The song will be released exclusively at iTunes in October 2009
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
That's it!  So start getting your best 140 characters of lyrical genius ready because O.A.R. wants to see what you got!
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
PRIZES:
&lt;br&gt;
Each winner will receive two tickets to the O.A.R. concert of their choice in 2009 or 2010 and will be able to meet the band (subject to availability). &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

            <byline>ALL TICKETS AT ALL LIVE NATION AMPHITHEATERS -- ONE DAY ONLY, JUNE 10TH EXCLUSIVELY AT LIVENATION.COM </byline>
            <headline>LIVE NATION &#8220;NO SERVICE FEE WEDNESDAYS&#8221; PROMOTION EXPANDED TO O.A.R. SHOWS</headline>
            <dateline type="date">2009-06-09</dateline>
            <lead></lead>
            <story>Live Nation announced today that it is expanding its &#8220;No Service Fee&#8221; program to every single available ticket in each of its amphitheaters this Wednesday, June 10th, for 24 hours only, exclusively at LiveNation.com. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Last week&#8217;s debut of &#8220;No Service Fee Wednesday&#8221; generated a sales spike 500% higher than the average number of tickets sold on a typical Wednesday, as music fans everywhere took advantage of Live Nation&#8217;s no service fee offer, which helped more concertgoers get to more shows for less money. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&#8220;Music fans, we heard you loud and clear,&#8221; said Michael Rapino, President and Chief Executive Officer of Live Nation. &#8220;So we have made &#8216;No Service Fee Wednesday&#8217; even bigger and better by making even more tickets more affordable. Our job is to get as many fans as possible to the show to see their favorite artists. We&#8217;re helping to do that by dropping the service fee on all tickets in our amphitheaters this Wednesday only on LiveNation.com.&#8221; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Tickets for this week&#8217;s installment of &#8220;No Service Fee Wednesdays&#8221; go on sale at 12:01 a.m. local time on June 10, 2009 at www.LiveNation.com. While the service fee has been dropped, parking and certain venue fees and taxes still apply. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</story>
