Dude, say it isn’t soooooooo …
Unfortunately, it sure seems to be: News from the UK Relicwire is that, in fact, Dave Clark — leader and producer of the Five — didn’t play the drums on most of their studio hits! He hired a stand-in to do it because he (as well as the engineers) didn’t think […]
I JUST FED MY BLOG THIS MORNIN’, A-AN’ … IT … (geewhiz!)… SEEMED HEALTHY ….
Actually, I couldn’t get my blog up and runnin’ for awhile, but I took it to the vet (veteran blog-fixer) who told me it had too much exposure to the secret ingredient in Mozilla™, which caused its internal organ(ization) to shut […]
Someone called the RelicLine and asked “If there were three rock stars of yesterday that you’d most like to interview, who would they be, and why?”
Man, I wished he’d asked a hard question … ’cause, providin’ he’s talkin’ about those who are still on terra firma, there can only be three:

Y’know, for centuries now, the Relic’s been tellin’ folks about how the “PreFab Four” (ie, Davy, Micky, Peter and Mike) changed the face of Rock-and-Roll (for that matter, music in general! Read on …).
Okay, suuuuuuuuure they were hand-picked for their TV Monkeeshines. And, though the music was cool and the vids cooler, what they actually accomplished […]
Wh … what the …??!?
Before you Rockaholics think the Relic’s blown his everlovin’ mind (duuude … that happened yearssss ago!), better take a closer look at the dude in drag … he ain’t playin’ the “Game of Love,” that’s for sure!
Yup … it’s Glyn Ellis; better known as Wayne Fontana — he of the […]

(ummm … waitaminnit. B-side myself?? That’d mean there’d be two of me. WHOA! Scary thought, America! Ummm … let’s move on)
But talkin’ about “B” sides brings back mems of some of rock’s coolest […]

Remember back-in-the-day, when the movers and groovers were talkin’ about gettin’ one of our own to be Prez someday (sheesh … you’d think that, since W’s a boomer, we’d … naaaah; didn’t know him then)? The buzz was for Morrison, Jimi or (especially) Zappa to take the plunge!
