Re: Billy Joel "And So It Goes" Documentary on HBO Max

very good documentary.

I too was surprised how important his wife was early on.

Much of his stuff is schlocky, broadway-ish -- not my thing. But he is a talented pianist and songwriter. And certainly did change album to album.

Re: EVH.....if Randy had lived

Randy's potential course has always been one of intrigue, just because he seemed to be heading in the less typical course than other rock guitarists. Specifically, being apparently serious-minded about studying classical guitar, his mother's teaching background, and maybe already some disillusionmen...

Re: Dave Navarro, Eric Avery, Stephen Perkins sues Perry Farrel

well, the suit/ countersuit thing is becoming more clear.

apparently, they all face significant liability for the cancelled tour, and are looking to have the other cover the costs.
Problem for Navarro and Co. is it looks like THEY were indeed the ones who unilaterally cancelled the tour. . . .

This smacks of bullshit (see what I did there?). It's about deep pockets, regardless the merit of the lawsuit.

He may not have any desire to do it. It's a hell of a lot of stress. He's old.

Axl does look better physically. Unfortunately, we may need the return of fat Axl to salvage what's left of his voice.

I will never get over how his voice suddenly resurrected for those AC/DC shows 7 years ago. It was a fn miracle.

Neither of those albums holds a candle to the real Floyd albums. Without Roger It’s like half a band with no lyricist. 100% true.
