Classic Rock 2007, "How Gene Simmons Stole Christmas"

I’m amazed at how much I write about KISS and Gene Simmons. I’m not a fan and I think it may be that I am really stunned at how all these years after their career peaked they have remained so much in the spotlight and oddly relevant. I also have never cut and paste an entire piece before and I aint gonna lie- I feel sorta lazy for doing so.

The Rolling Stones At Barclay Center, Saturday, December 8th, 2012 Reviewed

Setting themselves up for a World Tour to help celebrate their 50th Anniversary, the extremely expensive ($150 for a nosebleed but I had to cough up $350) nostalgia show from the greatest rock and roll band ever, past their prime.

Neil Young And Crazy Horse's "Walk Like A Giant" Reviewed

I love this song. It is loose raw power overall sound and lyric, what I was hoping this new one would be. Like a lot of the old NY+CH. It’s got punk and blues values and not the technical geeky middle class blues and punk which has sort of destroyed real deal stuff (but has kept it alive and selling at least).

Roger Waters To Play Yankee Stadium, July 7th, 2012

the one stop shopping will be July 7th at Yankee Stadium. A Saturday following July 4th and a thrilling concept entirely. And despite my dislike for the album, I think if and when it happens, it is unmissable and since I missed it at MSG , I’ll be making my way to the nosebleeds

Where Is Van Morrison?

In the 1970s, Van Morrison took a three year break from releasing ablbum! A true period of transition but since then… look at it this way, he released nine albums in the 2000s. The man is a songwriting machine, he always has been.
