ROCK 108 Morning Show - Rusty Radio Story "Madison Lane sings 'Heaven"

You owe me a Rusty's radio story and you mentioned Janie Lane.

Yeah, this has to do with Janie.

When I was in Baltimore, Rowan was the it girl in the rock scene.

Beautiful, beautiful woman.

Every girl wanted to be her.

Every guy wanted her.

And she only dated the cream of the crop.

like the lead singer for Child's Play, which was the big band in Baltimore at the time.

Okay.

Brian and her were an item.

When she broke up with Brian, she ended up dating Janie Lane, who had come through Baltimore several times.

Baltimore was the market that that band broke from.

Okay.

And Janie and Warren had a very strong connection to Hammerjacks, the big club in Baltimore, and 98 Rock, the radio station that I worked for at the time.

And fast forward to, I don't know, six years ago, Rowan, who by the way, also dated Donald Trump and was on the cover of every tabloid in the country.

What?

Yes.

Janie laying the Donald Trump, okay.

Yeah, yeah.

So she owes me stories about that, which we haven't caught up on yet.

But Rowan married Janie and ended up getting divorced, but they had a daughter together.

Okay.

And five years ago, she contacted me and said, I need you to hear this.

I haven't given this to anybody else.

But what's her name?

It's on the Maddie.

Maddie, who is now in medical school, recorded a version of Heaven, her and her boyfriend, her boyfriend's on pianos and piano and she sings it.

And as we all know, or maybe you don't, the song was written.

About Maddie as long as I'm the hero of my little girl.

Okay, so She sent me this version.

I've only played this on the air once.

Oh She asked me not to play it on the air.

Well, you're not playing it on the air I am you are technically pushing the button I'm pushing the button.

So so this is Janie's daughter Maddie singing heaven and it gives you chills.

Here we go Maddie Lane

I've got a picture of your house

And you're standing by the door It's black and white and faded And it's looking pretty warm See the factory that I worked Silhouetted in the back The memories are gray But man, they're really coming back I don't need to be the king of the world

As long as I'm the hero of this little girl Heaven isn't too far away

Chills, right?

My hair stood up on

my arm.

It's still right now for me.

That's Maddie Lane, Janie Lane's daughter singing

Heaven.

Now, the backstory is that Rowan thought that she wanted to get it out to radio people.

But when Maddie found out, Maddie was like, no, I don't think I'm in love with the performance as much as you are.

And I would rather this didn't get out.

That was a clean vocal.

Sounded amazing.

So I think I'm the only one that has that.

We know trouble.

I think the mom Jean kicks in with Rowan and she's like deep down.

I love it.

It is pretty awesome.

My daughter.

So good to hear

that on

a bad

air Friday.

Thanks for sharing.

You're welcome.

That's a heck of a Rusty's radio story.

An update on the Maddie Lane song.

She is now Madison Lane and it has made it to YouTube.

One of our listeners sent it to us.

So last I heard from Rowan, she didn't want it out there.

Please don't get it out there.

Obviously.

Things change in the digital world.

Now, this wasn't posted by Maddie on YouTube.

No, looks like it was

posted by Rusty Rock

One.

No, it was not.

On YouTube, yeah.

That's what it says.

You're wearing a shirt right now that says I posted Madison Lane to YouTube.

You're lying.
