Herbie Hancock’s recent homage to Joni Mitchell is fantastic. I think it just won a grammy. It’s all I’ve listened to for weeks. Listening to the album you wonder what would’ve happened if Mingus would’ve lived to complete his collaboration with Joni, or if Jaco Pasterious would’ve lived to do subsequent recordings with her. . … Continue reading

No one is replaceable… Not even Steve Perry
This is the movie “ROCKSTAR” in real life. Wasn’t that movie about Rob Halford and Judas Priest? Anyway, I digress…let’s go a step further into reality (reality music?)…let’s go Journey.

The 50th annual Grammy awards you didn’t see on TV
Most people (including me) have never really known all the Grammy categories and award winners past what we are shown on television. Did you know there is a category for best album notes? Or even best packaging? How about all those great album cover artists who never get airtime recognition. God forbid that I would … Continue reading
Kicking the Dead Horse That Is SXSW
