I complain like everyone else about who should be in there, and is not. But - I like the Rock Roll Hall of Fame. It's a neat place to visit. And I also think it's cool to recognize those who were originators and stood out above the rest. There are some people in rock music that I simply can not stand. Peter Gabriel is one of those people. I am far from a Genesis expert. I mainly like to watch that film I have posted a few times around here. It seems to me though that he should get off his ass and stand up with his former band mates.

Clem Burke is heck of a drummer. (He actually played drums for The Ramones for a couple of shows in the late 80s.) He's the drummer on one of my favorite records by them,"Too Tough To Die" for me it was The Kingston Trio......(but I guess you're suppose to hate what your parents liked,right??) The John Stewart years were vastly superior to the initial Dave Guard period. -Robert As far as I know, Richie Ramone played the drums on that album. I think Clem only did two shows with them. At least, that is what it says in the Ramones book I have. I use to have a Kingston Trio album whe

Brent and/or Phil I could have been at those shows.

I figured they would use the Odds & Sods album cover to create some Super Bowl merchandise. The Who Reveals Super Bowl Set List

As far as I know, Bad Company are just playing shows - not making new music. I could be wrong. I don't think they would want Joe Perry writing songs with them - they would all have rock and roll in the title, or they would be about sex.

To open for - They have done some shows here and there over the past year or so.

I saw that band back in the day. That was a bad deal.

It's the Andy Richter curse. I think that is right - in the long run Conan will make out in the end. I never heard this before:

They are back at it also - minus Juan Croucier (and Robin, of course). Carlos Cavazo and Robbie Crane are now in the band along side the three other dudes. You could always tell they liked Aerosmith.

That's an interesting point. They can play sports bars, like Vince Neil, until Steven comes back.

He was between a rock and a hard place. He had no choice.

Who knows. It could be that he knows they will probably never sell a ton of albums again. So I guess touring is all they have left. I think Joe must forget that he was once replaced. I figure they will name that guy Joe hired, or find someone else who can imitate Steven better. That is what these sort of bands do these days. It certainly won't work if they get someone who sings the songs in a totally different way.

I bet he will say something. For the majority of the world, Aerosmith is Steven Tyler (and right behind him, Joe Perry). And Joe just implied that Steven is replaceable, just like the guys in the band you never hear about (unless something bad happens to them). This whole deal may have one good thing about it - someone is putting up a whole bunch of Aerosmith shows at Dime a Dozen. I have not grabbed any of them, but I might grab the 74 show that someone posted that other day. They must need to buy another mansion, or another sports car. This does not surprise me though. I said as much a

I could never really get into any of those NY bands, but I have always loved Blondie and The Ramones. Clem Burke is heck of a drummer. (He actually played drums for The Ramones for a couple of shows in the late 80s.)

I heard some news this morning on the AM radio that Conan has signed off on a big settlement. I also read somewhere yesterday that this coming Friday may be his last show (on NBC). I sort of thought this would happen. I could never really see his style of comedy fitting into the long established slot of The Tonight Show. I don't know the average age of the person watching, but I have always figured that The Tonight Show drew a more mature viewing audience. Unlike a lot of people, I don't really have any memories of watching the show back when Carson was on. I am sure I saw it, but I don'

That's it. I once read a post on Pete's blog (some years ago) where he took Dave to task for some things he said in that book. I like the part where they are amazed that the Dead played so many different songs. At the time (1976), Keith actually had a set list painted on the side of one his drums.

I recall those shows. We have talked about them a few times around here. The old folks, that is.

I can tell from your other post that you grew up a communist. That must have been hard.

I got into R.E.M. sometime in the 1990s, and although I seldom listen to them now, I still think they were a great band. I also got into Radiohead over the past few years. Although, I think O.K. Computer (or half of it, really) is the albums I like the best. There was a time of course, when I would have never listened to either of those bands. There are probably some more, but that is what comes to mind at the moment.

I always thought that was a weird mix. Pete was in his Soccer Hooligan/New Romantic/New Wave/dressing up like a teenager phase around that time (early 80s). Dave Marsh talks about that time in the Who book he wrote. I can't recall what the deal was exactly. I just remember a passage where Pete meets with Jerry and asks him to do the dates The Who were suppose to do. I think the 1989 tour was "The Who On Ice" as Pete calls it. They had a whole bunch of players on stage with them.

They took over a tour that The Who were suppose to do. Pete played with them. I think there are clips of if out there. It was a Rockaplast show (if I recall correctly).
