Re: Bon Jovi's biggest hit exposed by Desmond Child

I had never heard that song before, so clearly it WASN'T a hit here, regardless of how well it might have done in Europe. The verses are changed up a bit, but there's no mistaking that chorus. Bonnie is just the female Meatloaf, right? She never did anything without him worth mentioning? 1977's &qu...

Lots of people who live in the United States but aren't originally from the United States don't want to travel internationally right now. Is Phil a citizen? I assume he has a green card, but the two aren't the same thing.

Re: NOT HAPPY > Ted Poley Blasts Airlines (again) in FB Rant Tells Readers Flying is Miserable vows to Cut Back on Fly D

I didn't find his rant all that rant like to be honest. It was all pretty much standard airline bitching. I'm not in a band, but I do write books, and do a lot of live events to promote those.

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

It's a well done doc, but while I was watching it I couldn't help but feel Joel has always been a man "out of time." In the late 70s he was performing live with a sport-coat on and it just looks nothing like any of his contemporaries. Looking at a lot of that footage I'd think to myself &q...

Re: How much did Trash help Alice Cooper?

I've always preferred "Raise Your Fist and Yell" to "Trash," but "RYFaY" had several things going against it from the start. Perhaps the biggest was that it was on MCA, a label where rock bands went to die in the mid to late 80s. As a hair band adjacent guy MCA wasn't d...

Roger Waters leaving Pink Floyd is way up there.

A hard lesson in the importance of name branding. No one “k...

She probably died of natural causes, and he was then in no condition to even realize she was dead. She was thirty years younger than he was, I can't imagine he would have had the strength to kill anyone.
