End of the week updates

• Freddies Rolls Royce set an auction record going for £74,000, which is almost $120,000.00 US.
• Unfortunately Bowie will not launch any kind of major (or minor) tour following his new album release in March. Their is a lot of anticipation for the album itself however.
• Brad Wilk will take Bill Ward's place on upcoming Sabbath album being produced by Rick Rubin-which means it could be quite a while before we hear anything.
• Jack Russell had planned on performing an acoustic benefit concert and donating funds to the Station Fire Memorial Fund, which is the charity set up for victims of the infamous Great White club fire - but they don't want anything to do with it...
• Major music news! Kenny Loggin's Blue Sky Riders are set to release their debut album and you can preorder on Amazon now! How this got overshadowed by upcoming releases by artists with real talent like Hendrix and Bowie I will never know. 
• I had been a staunch defender of Journey's replacement singer(s), particularly former front man Steve Augeri, until I recorded the Journey Live in Manila on Palladia the other night. I don't think I can do the same with their current format.
