- Unfortunately Ray Price has been moved to hospice after being discharged from the hospital for treatment of pancreatic cancer. We got to see him once in the Live Music Capital of the World at the original location of Willie Nelson's Backyard.
- In a turn of events The Beastie Boys have proceeded with their lawsuit against GoldieBlox despite GoldieBlox dropping the "Girls" parody and issuing an apology. I mistakenly listed it as "resolved" however I don't think GoldieBlox ever dropped their preemptive suit.
- The Cheap Trick lawsuit involving now former member Bun E. Carlos has been dismissed by the Delaware federal court stating that it should be decided by an Illinois federal court.

- And in an ongoing series exclusively on this blog!! The December era continues:
- Dec. 11 1964 - Sam Cooke shot dead by the manager of the Hacienda Motel in Los Angeles. The shooting was ruled a justifiable homicide after the manager claimed she acted in self defense.
- Dec. 11 1969 - The Rolling Stones began filming their infamous Rock & Roll circus - which did not see light of day until finally released in 1996.
- Dec. 12 1957 - Jerry Lee Lewis secretly wed his cousin. The move would eventually ruin his "rock" career but......
- Dec. 12 1985 - Ian Stewart died of a heart attack - in the waiting room of his doctors office.
- Dec. 12 1970 - The Doors played their last live show with Jim Morrison. What many may not know is The Doors continued releasing music and playing live after Jim's death. It was an abysmal disaster.
- Dec. 12 2007 - Ike Turner dies.
- Dec. 15 1956 - Elvis Presley plays his last show at the Louisiana Hayride. The legendary phrase "Elvis has left the building" was coined here by Horace Logan. If you don't know the history of the Louisiana Hayride, Elvis and how it could have been what Nashville became you owe yourself a little research.
- Dec. 15 2006 - Ahmet Ertegun, co-founder of Atlantic records, died form injuries suffered from a head injury sustained earlier while falling at a Rolling Stones concert. His death eventually led to the O2 Tribute Show mentioned previously in the December era.
