Eric Carmen R.I.P

His wife announced he died in his sleep over the weekend. Had some good songs with The Rasberries and solo. "Make Me Lose Control" always takes me back to the summer before High School.

Re: Famous people you saw live before they were famous?

David Blaine graduated from my H.S. H was a year older. I didn't know until years later when someone told me. That when I recalled him and put it together. He always dressed in black and was known as the magic kid. I remember being in English class once and he walked by the door and the teacher like...

Mick Taylor. He said he would have died if he didn't leave the Stones. Drugs were being offered by people everywhere he turned and he was becoming an addict.

I can't think of a band that I like but would not want to see live again more than Heart. They run from what made them big. It's either Zeppelin covers or watered down versions of the 80's hits.

Re: Whamageddon: The viral Christmas game where you avoid hearing "Last Christmas". Yes, this is a thing.

I was in Dick's Sporting Goods yesterday and I heard a female cover version of Last Christmas. Sounded modern. I just thought you gotta have some big balls to try and cover a George Michael song. You're not going to improve on the song. He had one of the best pure voices out there.

Re: Summer stadium tour thoughts

Would be better in an arena. Stadiums suck. I love Lep but passed on last year's stadium tour and will pass again. I'm not shelling out $$ for the sametired setlist over and over. Also, Ithink they should have got someone else who fits better than Steve Miller. Like Bryan adams.

He'll want to do it but reality may disagree. It's his first time doing it and it's not exactly a hot ticket. It will get more stale each year when he can't pay $$ for name support acts. Sales will dry up and promoters will call and say they want Poison as a support act on biggeer tours. Bert will c...
