Radiohead is allowing remixers [...]

Is there any song more perfect to open a show than “Cadillac Ranch?” I can’t think of it if there is. Damn, I wish that would have been saved to open for us in Atlanta. I love that one. Houston also got “Rosalita,” “Tenth Avenue Freeze Out,” and the 2008 premiere [...]

It’s still not my favorite song on the record, but for some reason it’s what I woke up singing this morning.

Never let it be said that Bruce Springsteen doesn’t understand the moment and that he can’t hold a grudge. Do you think it’s a coincidence that the band played “Independence Day” for the first time on tour in the president’s home state? Do you think he’d allow Jon Bon Jovi on his stage [...]

I think Natalie Goldberg would agree with Bono. You do miss too much these days if you stop to think!
This is the second post I’ve started today. The first was going to extol the virtues of Bruce Springsteen’s “Darkness on The Edge of Town” and declare it my theme song for today. [...]
