Over my lifetime as I traveled through America, I've seen hundreds of talented musicians who never got the break they were searching for. You can see them on most any street corner in any major city, even right here in the Northland. Therefor, it's heartwarming to see a movie about a man who was a virtual unknown here in the U.S.,become as Rolling Stone magazine put it, a "certified superstar." That movie is "Searching For Sugar Man."
It was on this day in 1983 that Australia's "Men At Work" achieved a first for any band from the biggest Island in the world. Both the song "Down Under," and the album from which it came "Business As Usual," topped their respective charts here in America
On this day in 1970, George Harrison kicked off four weeks at the number one singles chart with My Sweet Lord. George became the first Beatle to have a number one hit in America.
A few weeks a go I posted on The Bell Boys, and their gig at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas. The boys are home for the Holidays, but before they return to Vegas for another gig at the Hard Rock, they will be are performing in Lake Nebagamon.
The Stones have uploaded a photo with the titles of 22 songs written on it to their official Twitter account. The band is rehearsing in Europe right now for their upcoming four-date tour, and it's a list of songs they’re rehearsing. Here’s the Stones playlist along with the songs I'd swap to substitute. I've highlighted my picks (swaps) in black. Let me know what you think.
You can tell a lot about a person by the type of music they listen to, so I thought I'd let you get inside the Rayman's head. I'll share with you some of the songs I've listened to on my phone this past week with Spotify. If you don't have Spotify, no worries, You can download it here for free..I have twenty songs in my playlist, I'll just mention a few and why I like them.
I'm going to take what I'm sure is an unpopular view on this story and defend Prince. Songwriters, musicians, actors etc. are just that. Their call in life is to perform and entertaine period. If you asked Prince (or any other major star) what his net worth is, or what he owes in taxes, he wouldn't have a clue. What he would do is make an appointment with his managers, and accountants to find out.
Now was the time for Eric Clapton to record some new music. He was clean, and felt better than he had in years. After meeting with his manager, it was decided recording an album in Florida would be the next project.
Having recently been through rehab, and a long self imposed exile, Eric seemed to be having some difficulty in the recording studio. He felt perhaps the album should be delayed until he got his wings back so to speak.
I'd like to tell you a story, but first, let me ask you a question. Where can teenagers go around here to just hang out? The street corner or the Mall is about it right? It didn't used to be that way. Back in the day, a man (I'll call him Cat) got the idea of having a place the teenagers could hang out and listen to some live music. He called it a Teenage Club, and if you were thirteen to eighteen, you could come out and be entertained by live bands, maybe have a burger and coke as no alcohol was available. He called the place "The Hideaway." Kids came in throngs, and every Friday and Saturday nite, the Hideaway would have four hundred or more kids.
Joe Walsh was born in one of my old stomping grounds, Wichita Kansas. I'm sure you've heard of Joe when he played with the James Gang. He also played with the Eagles, in fact he made his debut on Hotel California which is as good a place as any to start right?
