Fleetwood Mac is reissuing Rumors (1977), their 11th studio album, and some of their best stuff. This is the band playing, "Go Your Own Way", in 1997 - my favorite Mac song. Here they are in 1977 playing live.
Fleetwood Mac – Rumours
Breathe deep the gathering gloomWatch lights fade from every roomBedsitter people look back and lamentAnother day's useless energy spent.Impassioned lovers wrestle as one,Lonely man cries for love and has none.New mother picks up and suckles her son,Senior citizens wish they were young.Cold hearted orb that rules the night,Removes the colors from our sight.Red is grey and yellow white,But we decide which is right.And which is an illusion?
It's The Happy Together Tour 2011 at the Wisconsin State Fair!
Mark's the lead singer. Formerly of Paul Revere & The Raiders. Lots of hits. Big hits. Look'em up. I can't believe he's 69 today.
Here's a 1979 reunion with the group after not having played together in 12 years. And here's Mark performing in 2010. PRTR RULES!
Impressive. Palmer is credited with being one of the foremost drummers who emerged from the 1960's and is currently on tour with Asia, the 80's band he co-founded. You may recall this Emerson, Lake & Palmer tune.
Saw The Moodies at Summerfest Wednesday. They were in very good voice and the place was packed. And I love this song. Lost love. Sad, in a way...at least the video is.
Inability to get my DVD to me in an appropriate amount of time. WTF?
My package - a DVD of The T.AM.I. Show (first-time release) - arrived in Cincinnatti, OH on April 28th and JUST arrived in Forest Park, IL yesterday, March 18th. That's 3 WEEKS (and I'm not including weekends). It's a 5-hour drive between Cincinnatti and Forest Park.
This one goes out to Danny Titze, a high school friend. We need to figure out when to get together for that beer, Dan! (You won't be able to view this video on Facebook. Click on VIEW ORIGINAL POST and you'll be taken to this blog.)
Les Paul was an American jazz guitarist, inventor, writer and musician. He was a pioneer in the development of the solid-body electric guitar which "made the sound of rock and roll possible." Paul was a member of the Grammy Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and the National Inventors Hall of Fame.
And he was from Waukesha, WI. Les was 93. Rock & Roll owes this man a debt of gratitude.
My #1 favorite picture of Heart is...

Someone explain to me why imeem.com has every one of Tom Petty's songs - the full song - and yet it only has a :17 second sampler of "Don't Come Around Here No More"? My favorite Tom Petty song.
AND, I can't post the video from YouTube either. Ole Tom Petty must not go for that public domain/free usage shit. Huh.
Troubled Amy Winehouse has posed for a nude photo shoot to raise breast cancer awareness among young women. The singer appears naked in the April issue of British magazine Easy Living after she stripped off for photographer Carolyn Djangoly. In the black and white snapshot, Winehouse is captured playing a guitar, which covers her genitals, while two pieces of duct tape cover her nipples. The 24-year-old isn't the only celebrity posing naked for the campaign - singer Sade and actress Helena Bonham Carter also removed their clothing for the picture project.
Now - I like her music. Her voice hearkens back to another era and - for a white woman - is as soulful as any black female singer. And the breast cancer cause is wonderful. But to see Winehouse who, I think, looks as if she's suffering from malnutrition, naked? Uh-uh.
One more thing: what is it with female celebrities who pose "naked" for Playboy but don't show anything? Seriously, if you're in Playboy and you're making a big deal about how you did it to capture a moment when you were really "hot", then I wanna see bush. Don't cover it up with your leg or a leaf or your hand. Put up or don't pose. Women are posing left and right wearing next-to-nothing in GQ, Vanity Fair, Esquire, among other magazines, and they cover up those "questionable" areas. That's OK. But if you pose for a nudie magazine, I want to see you NUDE.
Which begs me to ask the other question (a question asked by many, I suppose): what is it about a woman's nipple that's the make or break body part when it comes to nudity in magazines or on film? You can show an entire breast but not the nipple. What IS the deal with the nipple?
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Pop star Madonna, folk singer Leonard Cohen, rocker John Mellencamp, British pop band The Dave Clark Five and instrumental group The Ventures will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Monday.
Madonna, 49, made her debut in 1982 and her first album "Madonna" included hits such as "Holiday," "Borderline" and "Lucky Star" which helped her become one of the best-selling pop artists, with more then 200 million albums sold worldwide. She chose not to perform at the ceremony.
"I'm very honoured and pleased to be recognized this way, especially among people whom I greatly admire," Mellencamp said on his Web site, www.mellencamp.com. He will be inducted by entertainer Billy Joel and will perform at the ceremony.
Cohen, a gravel-voiced Canadian whose songs tell of love and sex, faith and betrayal, is among the most literary of songwriters. He published four books of poetry and two novels before trying music, partly to escape life as a starving artist. The foundation described him as "folk rock icon of the singer songwriter movement." He will be inducted by Lou Reed and Irish folk singer Damien Rice will perform for him. 
The group will be inducted by John Fogerty and will perform at the New York City ceremony. Along with the five performers, the song writing and producing team of Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff will be inducted in the non-performer category and the late Little Walter in the "sideman" category for his "pioneering use of the microphone (that) helped establish the modern blues harmonica."
