Drive Will, Drive Will Rock You
• Hubbard Classic Rock WDRV (97.1 The Drive)/Chicago plans to provide a few moments of reflection, diversion and unity for the Chicago region amidst the current COVID-19 crisis. This Friday evening, March 27 at 8pm CT, The Drive will air “The Star Spangled Banner,” immediately followed by Queen‘s celebrated anthem, “We Will Rock You / We Are the Champions.” The Chicagoland Community is encouraged to step out onto porches or balconies, open windows and join their families, friends and neighbors in a virtual show of the city’s indefatigable “Chicago Strong” spirit.
WDRV Director of Branding/Content, Rob Cressman commented, “As COVID-19-related hardships, anxiety and uncertainty continue to consume our daily lives, The Drive is endeavoring to provide a few moments of relief, unity and pride across the Chicagoland region. We look forward to hosting this spirited event. We hope to instill a strong sense of community while preserving ever-critical social distancing regulations — as fans participate solo, or within their own households.”
Making this event even cooler, Chicago’s iconic Willis Tower and Prudential Building have agreed to modify their lights to illuminate the skyline in red, white and blue during the event. Other downtown buildings are encouraged to follow suit, beginning Friday evening at sundown. Sing-along participants are also reminded to shine flashlights, cell phones and other personal lighting devices while raising their voices in unison Friday evening at 8pm.
