Evie Branan, 79, Wakes From 5-Year Coma And Asks To Go To Bob Seger Concert (VIDEO)

Apparently, Evie Branan knows what she wants.

When the 79-year-old Flint Township, Mich., resident awoke from a 5-year semi coma in May 2011, she made a firm request.

"I want to go to a Bob Seger concert," she said, according to MLive.com.

Nearly two years later, Branan's wish is finally set to come true. On Thursday, she is attending Seger's performance in Auburn Hills, Mich.

It will be her fifth time seeing Seger live.

Staff members at Willowbrook Manor, who have cared for Branan since her stroke in 2007, made it happen. Administrator Michelle Cross arranged for a ticket and even threw in a limo ride and post-concert dinner.

"I'm so excited I can hardly breathe," Branan told MLive.com. "What am I looking forward to the most? Hugging Bob Seger and giving him a big smooch."Continue to MLive.com to read the full story.

It's not entirely uncommon for stroke victims to make interesting requests upon waking.

In June 2012, British father Sam Boughen, 26, awoke from a coma andasked for Kentucky Fried Chicken. Doctors prohibited the meal.

In 2010, a Croatian teen reportedly emerged from a coma speaking fluent German. She had been struggling to learn the language prior to falling ill.

Samsung reportedly close to releasing Glass competitor — and Google’s involved

This one is definitely a rumor, but its source is reliable enough to warrant a little speculation. Analyst and blogger Eldar Murtazin tweeted a rather definite message this week that Samsung is “developing [its] own version of Google Glass. We will see it (probably) around April – May under Gear Glass brand.” Given that Google’s own version of Glass is not expected to hit the mass market until early 2014, Samsung’s Glass competitor could very well race Google’s to market. That might seem like a nightmare for Google, which has invested heavily in Glass and is no doubt planning for a strong event launch, but as was pointed out in a CNet article, the use of the word “Glass” implies an official partnership. Samsung is known for its aggressive branding and Google would likely raise legal concerns regardless, so it’s unlikely the brand Gear Glass would be used without a partnership. Does Google even want to sell Glass, or does it just want you wearing face-screens? ...
