I was talking to my co-worker/vinyl loving comrade Michael today, and he was giving me continued ribbing on my usage of “quote/unquote” in my recent Billy Joel post.

Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony, Joe Satriani, and Chickenfoot
Good stuff from Melodicrock.com – there are new developments in the Sammy Hagar project titled “Chickenfoot” that now apparently include Joe Satriani. Let’s stop for a second: Chickenfoot is a horrendous name. Now that we’ve got that out of the way, I am definitely excited to see one of my favorite singers pair with one […]

Sheryl Crow plus Fleetwood Mac equals awesome
According to Spinner.com, Sheryl Crow is set to “join” Fleetwood Mac for a collaboration, probably in 2009. I’d like to see it – Sheryl and Stevie certainly have the chemistry, and it would be interesting to see how Sheryl would fit in to the overall Fleetwood Mac picture. From a songwriting standpoint, I think that […]
