Morrissey To Headline Nobel Peace Prize Concert

THREE glorious songs in Oslo Norway. I would actually pay to see him sing three songs. What wonderful news, he is singing. Despite his never ending cancellations the ol’ man is hitting the stage and I am thrilled since this obviously leads to the inevitable ‘will he do more dates’.

An Open Letter To Cat Stevens

I’m not saying South America doesn’t deserve a tour.. I suppose there are many similar stories there. I just am a selfish stubborn girl who would love 90 minutes in a room with you if only to share a moment with the man who may very well saved my life.

Jack White- Token Cracker

No matter what it is, someone with a camera phone took this picture and made my entire day- if not my week. Sticking Jack in there like a marshmallow in the hot chocolate restored my faith in humanity and made me realize just how whacked things have gotten.

Cruisin' for A Bruisin': Dangerous Car Tunes

I say if you get in the car with me and put on Aerosmith or Kings of Leon you’d best buckle up cuz I’m gonna put you through a wall. I am a very aggressive driver. I have no patience for ‘Sunday drivers’ and the speed limit is a guideline not a rule.

Flying Watsky Sure is Sorry

Get a load of that altitude- what an idiot. Watsky released a statement and can pretty much kiss his mediocre career goodbye unless he has a serious PR firm to do his damage control. A big “Im so sorry I will never do it again” is rather pathetic.

Morrissey Roars: Bachman The Lion Killer

“Although I have previously felt enraged by the asininity of U.S. congressman Paul Ryan, and political fluffhead Sarah Palin – both of whom also kill beings for fun, there is something especially lamentable about the Bachman smile of pride as the lion”

Brand New- The Golden (Counterfeit) Ticket

Our request for press credentials was answered with an extremely kind note that the band would not be offering press opportunities this go round (nor last go round) but then again who needs press when social media has made you untouchable?

Mariah Carey All Upset On The Bathroom Floor

I find it annoying when artists go on and on about how they do it for the ‘the fans’ and how they are so in love with each and every ‘fan’. Don’t kid yourself, you’re a necessary evil. They do it for the cash and they do it for the fame- you just have to be provide it.

Neil Finn Tour Dates

Split Enz evolved into Crowded House and then disappeared from the US. Neil was the primary vocalist and well he is back without his brother and with a new album to boot.

Lady Gaga "Eating Art"

This isn’t about her music but rather her eccentricity. All drama queens require fresh drama so here is your current serving. Lady Gaga was addicted to pot. An addict so bad that it required a cold turkey intervention from none other that Maria Abromovic

David Crosby Tour Dates

This guy, one of the legends of our time has a financial net worth of just $40 million dollars. Would you expect that to be more? But hey- the bills are paid and at that advanced age how it’s good to earn royalties.

Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, Gettin' Hip

In the past I have seen stars from Broadway musical and others such as Kanye West, Andy Williams, James Taylor, Hilary Duff and a boat load of others drifting by on giant floats waving and cheesing. It’s a pretty cool event and I do recommend going at least once in your life.

Alanis Morrissette's "Jagged Little Pill", On Broadway

Isn’t it ironic- dontcha think? That after the rousing success of Mama Mia and American Idiot another pop song becomes a show on the Great White Way? I don’t. We cant come up with anything new anymore. All the love stories are done all the dramas unfolded and the musical..well it’s doomed.

SNL Flashback November 15, 1986 Lou Reed

Let me restate that- ONE OR TWO SONGS having A LINE OR TWO that I find impressive. Thus my opinion stands. Lou Reed is the most over rated performer of the ‘punk’ era. The only thing ‘punk’ about him was his shitty attitude.

Ace Frehley Speaks, And He's Grumpy

“He took the safe route – he never got loaded, he never partied. I took the same route Elvis took, and Hendrix, and Keith Richards and Jim Morrison… it’s endless. I have all this life experience and thank God I can live to talk about it.”

Ted Nugent, US President

“I’m 65 this year but I’m still blessed with incredible energy. I don’t know. At this point, it would be up to Mrs. Nugent and my family; I would consult with my manager Doug Banker, but I’m being pushed pretty hard to run for public office.”

Is Fiona Apple a Bitch?

I love that Urie is so point blank about it. In a nervous jitter explanation he sums it all up, Wanting to use Fiona’s vocals from “Every Single Night”. Fiona “was not having it, man, she was bummed on us.”

So Long Jonas Brothers

Remember all the good times, the virginity promises, the diabetes awareness, the enormous and intimidating eyebrows of brother Joe. But time moves on and virginity is tossed out the window, at this point all thats left is men with diabetes and big brows

MGMT “Alien Days” Video Review

Georgina Pazcoguin of the NYC Ballet absolutely owns this video despite the attempts for pretty boys and awkward themes to overshadow her roll. Blending strength and sensuality she elevates this five minute video to a work of art

Michael Nesmith’s ‘Movies Of The Mind’ Tour

Mike Nesmith is the Monkee who ended up with a smug reputation. His refusal to join so many reunion tours gave him the image of someone not so proud of his past. I doubt that’s true considering The Monkees fame certainly paid (and continue to pay) his bills
