Since it’s the week of Thanksgiving, filled with special family time and nightmarish visits from relatives, I’ve been reflecting on the things that I’m thankful for. Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, for instance. I know this seems like an odd thing to mention right off the bat, but has any one of your family members […]

Cage Match: J. Geils Band vs. Don Henley
You love her But she loves him And he loves somebody else You just can’t win… And so it happens that you discover the above complicated mathematical equation of love that plagues all of us eventually. Coming from J. Geils Band frontman Peter Wolf, you couldn’t help but think that it was very possible that […]
A couple of rock and roll birthday greetings….
Two ATV favorites are celebrating birthdays this week – our first birthday greeting goes out to Moody Blues frontman Justin Hayward, a longtime staple in my musical collection both with the Moodies and solo. My Hayward/Moodies love began when I saw this video as a kid…. Moody Blues Your Wildest Dreams by avajra ….and continued […]
Cage Match: Bruce Springsteen vs. Bruce Springsteen
By now, you probably know that I got some results out of my recent “open letter” to Bruce Springsteen. Kind of. I was pulling for full album performances of Born To Run in St. Louis, and Darkness On The Edge of Town in Cleveland. Announcements were made on Monday morning that both Cleveland and St. […]
Do I end every sentence like it’s a question, aye?
Thanks to Rob Smith of Popdose for pointing me towards this hilarious video exchange featuring an “interview” with 80s popster Richard Marx. Billboard’s Bill Werde and Marx kick the traditional interview format out the window while discussing Marx’s latest album Emotional Remains, and have some humorous fun at the expense of some of Marx’s fellow […]
ZZ Top – Double Down Live: 1980/2008
When I think about the early concerts that played an important part in my development as a music fan, there’s one that comes up in conversation quite a bit. My friend David had tickets to see ZZ Top at Richfield Coliseum in February of 1991, a concert that is also notable for featuring the Black […]
Love to let you down…
I’m not sure how many Life of Agony fans we have here, but tonight I found myself thinking of “Love To Let You Down,” a track on their most recent studio effort Broken Valley from a few years ago. Someone posted Rockpalast footage on Twitter of a different song, which made me wonder if there […]
Oates, I forgot how soft your hands were….
We’re just as excited as everybody else about the pending public reunion of J-Stache and John Oates, set to occur live onstage at the American Mustache Institute’s annual Stache Bash happening on October 30th in St. Louis. Presumably, Oates will be there to promote the brand new super-bad ass Hall & Oates box set Do […]
In the bathroom with Barenaked Ladies
I came across this series of videos from Barenaked Ladies tonight titled “The Bathroom Sessions,” while wasting some time on Youtube. Without dwelling on the current state of BNL, I would like to share a couple of my favorites from the series. The first one, “Adrift,” came along at a time when I was wondering […]
Happy Birthday to MTV!
MTV turns 28 today. Remember when MTV actually used to play music videos? Here is nearly three hours of classic video to help jog your memory! When did MTV start to go downhill for you? For me, that moment came with the launch of The Real World. I loved Randee of the Redwoods, and I […]
