• Today is the 10th anniversary of George Harrison's death
• Get"Nickelblocked" if you so desire, I will pass because then I won't be able to rip Nickelback on this blog
• Ken Russell, director of the movie version The Who's "Tommy" movie passed away on Sunday-I have seen some of his other stuff as well and it is pretty much off the wall.
• Also killed by death Elvis' Costello's dad-he actually released an album called Elvis' Dad Sing Elvis, but the Elvis he sung was Presley!?!
• This is some older news but a music fan apparently killed himself over the Tinnitus he suffered from attending a Them Crooked Vultures show (who still haven't made it to DFW) several months ago without the earplugs he usually wore at shows. I am still not sure what to think about this, I have often posed the question to some of my friends if you would rather be deaf or blind, and I always chose blind so I could at least listen to music. I remember attending Ozzfest one year and leaving about half deaf, which lasted several weeks. Scary stuff.....
• RHCP and Flogging Molly have announced 2012 tours.
• Man LULU is really getting ripped, I don't think it's that bad-but I liked St. Anger too....
