• The Black Crowes have broken up (again), in what is becoming a more familiar theme, over "ownership" of the band. 
• Motley Crue have officially announced their final show, Dec. 31st at The Whiskey A Go Go. I really need to hit the lottery soon. Billy Joel at MSG, VIP tix to a couple of festivals, all those shows that never make it to DFW........
• Kim Fowley, best know for forming and managing The Runaways, has passed on to the Great Concert Hall in the sky - he has also been infamously credited for something that has been greatly distorted since the arrival of the smart phone - see below.
