Ladies and gentledudes, the character u see to yer left was the inspiration for one of the coolest groups ever to come out of Pineville, NC back-in-the-day (I think there were two bands at the time).
Yep … it’s the original Hy-Que himself. And he totally rocked (as long as he had some good 9v […]
When we hear the countdown to the ‘08, the mind goes back to the big rock extravaganza on the telly called Ready, Steady, Go! On its intro, the big five was counted … and the show began with one of the supergroups/singers that was big back-in-the-Brit-day.
The closest we came to it, I believe, was […]
from the RelicWire:
Cher and her daughter, openly-gay Chastity Bono, will host an upcoming TV show they’ll be calling Coming Out With Cher and Chas. In the show, they’ll counsel still-closeted homosexuals.
In Jolly Olde, Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth, will bestow the MBE (Member of the British Empire) to Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull (guess […]
Man, if there was ever a year to be proud of our rock-n-roll heritage, it was the ‘07!
We had a blast with many of “our” groups comin’ back outta the darkness of time and electrifying stages around America, England and Germany.
Natch, the big news was THE group gettin’ it together for a “one-off” at London’s […]
Hey … remember when the Fab Four made their pilgrimage to India to confab with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi?? (y’know, it kinda sounds like a question posed by BooBoo to his bear buddy with the “pickkk-a-nic baSKIT” …) Y’see they were holed up in a place called Rishikesh, and their digs was called an ashram.
ANYway, […]
Hey, Rockaholics … we’re continuing our “Name-Game” series. You’ll be surprised at how some of the rockers of the 60s and 70s got their handle. For example (huh?? No, that pic’s Rare Earth [see below]. Yes, there’s a reason!):
CHICAGO Remember their first LP, Chicago Transit Authority? Well, the Windy […]
Rockaholics, I know this is gonna be a little controversial, but let’s face it: Not everything’s Sugar and Spice. Sometimes, things haveta be talked about. So, here goes:
By now, everyone has heard about Will Smith (”Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” “Independence Day,” “Men In Black”, superstar rapper, etc.) and what he allegedly said […]
Okay … you wanted something that you voted on? You got it — in the Hit Parade Hall of Fame. Based on the first 63,000 votes by John (or Jane) Q. Public, the first inductees include:
Paul Anka (let’s face it — the dude knows how to write classics!)
the Beatles (ummm … do I […]
No matter what day it is (December 25 or Junvember 32), we’ll never forget the tragic nightmare of September 11, 2001.
Shortly after the attacks on the World Trade Center/Pentagon and the crash in Pennsylvania, the music moguls at Clear Channel Communications (which many of us listen to; although a station seems to be local, its playlist is […]
Man, can’t Phil Spector just shut UP?!?!
I mean, the dude’s not exactly in the clear yet, despite the fact that he (seen here with his … wait a minnit … I think that’s the girl’s mother with her, isn’t it?? Then … where’s Phil??) got away with a mistrial. But the smack he laid down at Ike Turner’s funeral
