This past weekend, I was out of town. While I was away, I had the DVR set to tape the VH1 Classic broadcast of Classic Albums featuring Moving Pictures and 2112 by Rush. After clearing some weeds out of the flower beds tonight (METAL!) and a bit of dinner, it seemed like a good time […]

I don’t like Mondays…except for this one!

Singing Songs About the South Land
Did you ever wish a few of your favorite artists would get together and write some great songs? Ignoring the still-lingering phenomenon that launched in the 90s of superstar duets and filling your album with guest appearances so it will sell, there aren’t many substantive efforts out there for my tastes.

Bruce, Jackson, Bonnie, Shawn and David…
…performing a classic Don Henley song, and while that’s technically correct, I’m sure Bruce Hornsby had a few inner thoughts about the introduction by Jay Leno. I’ve always regretted not making the road trip to catch this tour.

How long has it been since I cared about a Bettie Serveert album? That’s a good question. The last time that I saw the band live was in 1993 at the old Peabody’s Down Under, touring in support of Lamprey. I bought a couple more albums after that one, and then, I tuned out. Their […]
