Jagger has signed a pact with the devil, it’s understood, and this thin athletic silhouette of his is certainly a proof that sex, drugs and rock’ n’ roll is the true fountain of youth. But he just can’t believe it himself, as he said during the show, just after the third song: “You’d think some of us would be sitting by now but we’re not !”
‘I’m glad the reviewer was able to identify the last song as ‘Blowin’ in the Wind.’ I had no idea. I thought it was a new song that I had never heard before.’

There are pages and pages on the internet how famous bands got their names, and I am not going to go there, but usually bands have a few techniques to find a moniker

Prince Jackson actually looks very much like Corey Feldman! I know that this could be totally subjective but still! I did some research on the web, it is wildly discussed on message boards of course, even the Black Lips agree with the idea as they posted a tweet about it a few weeks ago! And the Black Lips are cool.
I wasn’t there, but earlier this year, the police shut down two of her shows in Venice Beach, because the parties got a little out of hand, with too many underage punk kids having too much beer, and doing too much skate boarding in the middle of the street!

There is thunderstorms over Europe,…There are hailstorms, and I mean major hailstorms, in the Middle East. There are storms brewing through China, through Asia, through everywhere, and there’s only one man that… The other night when President Barack Obama, God bless him, said to Mitt Romney, ‘The Cold War is over.’ I have never heard such a thing in my life…. There is one man who will stand tall in this country and fight the storm and bring the United States back to what it should be — Gov. Mitt Romney!’

Sometimes I think I live in a sort of third world country! Last night, the winds were strong, but it wasn’t even close to a hurricane! What happened? The city wasn’t able to restore electricity after an hour and the whole neighborhood was in the dark for I-don’t-know-how-long
The song ‘Here We Go’ is embracing the soft side of Girls’ albums, as it is a sort of folk approach with Chris’ heartbroken and fragile voice harmonizing with a… girl. If it gives any idea of what we should expect for the future album.
As it was reported by the Guardian this year, she stepped down as manager of the company, and she ‘is not entitled to income from any new deals relating to Cobain’s image’. So how this could be possible?

When I saw Trent Reznor talking with David Byrne about the music industry, he didn’t seem to be very found of this pay-what-you-want model, describing it as insulting as there’s gonna be people who will give a ridiculous amount like 50 cents, ‘Fuck that!’ he added angry.

I have read that the more we remember an event, the more we try to assemble this little movie of what happened in our head the more our memory of it drifts away from reality.
