Okay … there’s no doubting that the Queen of Soul deserves the title; but her shenanigans at the recent Grammy Awards (where she dissed Beyonce for callin’ Tina Turner the “Queen”.

Rockaholics, we’re livin’ in a year that’s gonna be making history in the annals of rock-n-roll!!

Y’see, whenever the Relic revs up his roster of rock on the PC, I get Dudette, TLC and Lucy Furr climbin’ up m’legs and crash near the speakers (they’re not declawed, natch … and neither are the kittens!)
Anywayyyyy … let’s get […]

While details of the agreement are not yet fully available, it does set the stage for a possible (probable?) reunion of Mike Love, Al Jardine and Brian Wilson! Though not […]

WHOA!!! Now, if that ain’t enough to clabber yer grits, ain’t nothin’ gonna! (Yes, it’s a Sutthun expression! So?)
