May 28, 2010 – How could a meeting between a make-up artist and Kiss’ Gene Simmons go so wrong? Well according to documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court yesterday the guitarist wanted more from her than she was willing to give and it didn’t involve make-up. 
May 28, 2010 – Didn’t Bret Michaels look healthy on American Idol on Wednesday night? There is a chance he wasn’t. 
May 27, 2010 - File this under “You can’t be good at everything.” Elton John was arguably the biggest solo musician in the world in the seventies and he was easily in the top 10 in the eighties but it seems he was too busy conquering the world to learn to cook. 
May 27, 2010 – The good news is the Faces are back together but the not-so-fine print says Rod Stewart will not be in the mix. 
May 28, 2010 – “What-eva” seems to be what many are saying about Wednesday’s American Idol finale. While 24.2 million viewers checked out Simon Cowell’s swan song it was the show’s lowest rated finale since season one which could spell trouble for winner Lee DeWyze. 
May 27, 2010 – It sure sounds like Paul McCartney is a responsible dad. The former Beatle say he never tours when it’s his turn to look after his daughter Beatrice – his child with ex-wife Heather Mills. 
May 27, 2010 – Slash says he’s not holding his breath for the next big thing in Rock. In fact the former Guns N’ Roses guitarist is disappointed in the current Rock scene. 
May 18, 2010 – Norah Jones says she hasn’t done too many festivals in the past because her music was too “intimate and quiet.” 
May 11, 2010 – The name Phil Collins reminds us of countless hits, huge arena tours and complicated drumming. How about the Alamo? 
April 5, 2010 – Sting seems to be fed up with our paradigms around pot! The singer says we, as a society, spend too much time putting marijuana users in jail when legalizing the substance could feed the hungry of the world.

June 20, 2009 – If there ever was a mismatched pair, physically and intellectually, it was 
June 17, 2009 – They say “Like attracts like.” Remember when 
May 26, 2009 – Up until the finale of this year’s American Idol I had a renewed faith that the show was a singing competition again but Adam Lambert, clearly the better singer did not win. Though his Goth looks threw me off at times and that “cat on your back” show-off wail reminded me of why Celine Dion and I do not mix. 
May 7, 2009 – 
May 1, 2009 – Brandon Flowers of the Killers figures his band would be much bigger if 
April 18, 2009 – A week ago 
April 16, 2009 – Chances are, if you come up to anybody and asked them about 
April 3, 2009 – I like Perez Hilton’s blog; he knows how to stick it to "media vultures" even though he may be a media whore himself. His war on Avril Lavigne is infamous but this passive aggressive media queen may have overstepped just a bit, well, a lot. This week, he called Heidi Montag’s new song a “Hit.” Perez, are you experimenting with aerosol? This tune is “Rico Suave” bad, it makes “Barbie Girl” sound like “Hey Jude.”
Oct. 16, 1998 - No one could ever accuse Hornsby of not paying attention. Every lyric on 'Spirit Trail,' his sixth album, describes his unquenchable thirst to understand what were all doing here. Stripped down, his lyric sheets look more like realistic views on sociology than anything that should be shoved in a jewel box. In an era where most artists have problems believing what they sing, Hornsby is very much real. 
Oct. 20, 2000 - Some people remember where they were when JFK was shot, I prefer to recall cherished introductions to songs that changed my life. 
Sept. 24, 2002 - In high school my best buddy John Scott could never understand how I, a rocker, preferred Barbra Streisand over Linda Ronstadt. Our typical teenaged angst played out via rapturous arguing sessions on who was technically the better singer. For me, Streisand the quintessential seventies diva, won hands down when it came to crescendo's and unlike Ronstadt, didn't have a penchant for covering fifties doo-wop songs. Neither wrote their own tunes, with the exception of a rare co-write credit here or there. 
Feb. 24, 2009 – Does anybody sing live anymore? I like Beyonce; she saves me money on primal scream therapy. When Etta James went all crazy-mars-bars on her a few weeks ago it almost made me take Beyonce’s side. The former Destiny’s Child member sang James’ famous signature song ‘At Last’ at President Obama’s inauguration, and after James’ crazy-train reaction Beyonce never really responded. 
February 15, 2009 – Just because someone tells you something doesn’t make it true. We’ve learned that, right? It’s especially true on TV. I remember Kelsey Grammer laughing at his own network, NBC, in 2004 as both his series, ‘Fraiser,’ and ‘Friends’ were winding down with big finales. The peacock network were proclaiming Friends as, "the best comedy ever," to which Grammer said, "I don't blame them for saying that, although we all know it's not true." 
Jan. 7, 2009 – Would 2008 have been any better if Robert Plant just played along? Maybe if he stopped thinking about himself for a minute and gave us what we wanted we’d be looking forward to 2009 just a tad more. After all, with half of Americans losing their savings there’s a possibility we’ll all look as unkept as Plant and Page did in the seventies anyway. 
Dec. 27, 2008 – Let’s see, when I die I’d like my much younger wife to get a new big ass computer and recreate my image to sell ‘Kelly Ripa ‘Crazy Eyes Special Over-Acting Makeup’ or maybe I could endorse Ashlee Simpson’s latest “Nail in the Eardrum” album. Or, maybe not. 
Nov. 26, 2008 – Ian Anderson has promised fans a jolt of the best in the Jethro Tull discography for their 40th anniversary tour and so far fan reception in Europe has been amazing. Henrik Stubgaard, our correspondent in Denmark was happy with the variety of the show in Herning, Denmark on Nov. 19th. 
May 3, 2008 - There is a constant vehicle in marketing and sales that simply encourages the pitch to decipher what makes the product better than anyone else’s. What makes you different? Sometimes the product speaks for itself; others have to argue their point. Mariah Carey has had an advantage for years via her multi octave voice.
