Raise your hand, who is sick to death of those Cadillac commercials that play the Led Zeppelin songs. I for one hate them. Face it, Cadillacs are for senior citizens or fat capitalist with small dicks. Adding a very cool classic rock song that was listened to by a very cool generation who drove VW Beetles...

So the Monty Python spoof on their movie Holy Grail, Spamalot won the Tony for best musical. How does that happen? Wow. In any case it'll never make it to St.Louis I'm sure. Would be fun to go see in any case.

I was wondering the internet and came across a “soft porn” ad for Carl's Jr. hamburgers starring the slutty Paris Hilton. Apparently there's been concern that it's too naughty to show on TV. I found the site where you can view the Quicktime version of it -- http://www.chrisapplebaum.com/...

I just finished watching the widely acclaimed documentary Some Kind of Monster . It's a documentary (or rather the new term is “ rockumentary ”) on the heavy metal band, Metallica . Before I start off on this review, I will admit I am not a fan of their music. Listening to their music is...

I read today that the lead singer of Molly Hatchet died of failing health . I was never a big fan of the group, they had a standard southern rock sound like the Allman Brothers or Lynard Skynard. I did however really like one of their songs which was written somewhat outside their normal theme of whiskey...

Every year I usually make fun of the Grammy awards, since the judges were so out of touch with the real music scene it was laughable. I've heard rumors that they were attempting to change their ways and get with it before the MTV awards eclipsed them as the big musical award show of the year. I watched...

Last Friday Annette and I went to see another 70's washed up rock band play. This time it was April Wine . They are more of Canadian/Midwest act, not well known on the coasts. Great music in any case, mostly hard rock. I guess their more famous song was a love song called Just Between You and Me. High...

I grew up listening to my favorite rock station, KSHE 95 in St.Louis. They grew out of the counter-culture of the 1960s and acquired quite a faithful audience over the years. It was known for playing whole albums and of course playing up the drugs part of sex, drugs and rock n roll. They took chances...

Last Friday Annette and I and her sister and fiance went to see Rod Stewart in concert. Second row tickets, right in the middle, best seats I've ever had for a concert. Rod although in his 60th year has still got it. His voice, while not ever the best, still has that same gravely rasp that we've all...

I'm a big fan of Genesis (the rock group, not the biblical concept). My favorite album by them is Selling England By the Pound . I've been listening to it since college, great progressive rock in it's prime. Anyway I've often wondered what the song The Battle of Epping Forest was all about. I did a lyrics...

I got the chance to see Shania Twain in concert last Friday. Annette bought me a ticket as a xmas present. We ended up going with most of her family, sort of a family night out. Lots of fun, even little Kenzie went along although she got tired and curled up in her seat and tried to sleep. It was an indoor...
