Friday Updates

• The Rolling Stones have supposedly released their final North American tour date. They currently have 18 dates on the bill, including consecutive nights at some venues, and don't get nowhere near the southern US or Texas. Go ahead and announce the second leg guys. (They some UK dates after this tour)
• Jeff Hanneman's official cause of death is related to cirrhosis and not from devastating spider bite he received. It was thought his health was improving in all areas but unfortunately this was not the case. Slayer plans a tribute later this year...
• Today is the 35th anniversary of one of the greatest punk songs ever and one of my favorite of all time: Teenage Kicks.
• As usual the tailgating for Buffet was awesome. Our seats for the show were pretty far back and the sound was terrible. The wind was playing havoc with us in the parking lot and it didn't help out the sound guys any either.
• I am not sure about the movie itself but the TV spot for The Great Gatsby focusing on the music looks awesome. This movie is directed by Baz Luhrman and if you saw what he did with the music in Moulin Rouge and Romeo+Juliet it shouldn't be disappointing.
