End of April Updates
- So Hurricane Carter, the boxer who was the inspiration for the Bob Dylan song "Hurricane" died earlier this week. However I had heard before that Mr. Zimmerman's interpretation was full of inaccuracies - and here is a site that (allegedly) details them all.
- So the driver in the SXSW crash is now facing four counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, capital murder and 20 counts of assault. And so far he has only been charged with two of the deaths. If he doesn't get the death sentence he will never be free again - I know he hasn't been tried in a court of law but the evidence against him is overwhelming.
- In the news we already knew department Led Zeppelin will never tour again. This comes up about twice a year. Robert ain't going to do it.
- In the news I shouldn't even be reporting dept. Nirvana poseurs Puddle of Mudd's front man Wes Scantlin had an onstage meltdown at their last Dallas show (April 16) - flipping off fans, throwing a microphone at someone in the crowd (lawsuit!!) and storming off stage - and also allegedly lip syncing.
- Maybe they should have made this list "20 Rock Tours that Ended Tragically" judging from the comments. They left off the biggest with Buddy Holly and omitted the Damageplan incident as well - I will give them credit for including The Sandman however - Morphine was the shit.
- So the creator of Led Zeppelin Played Here, previously reported in this blog, got back with me: He has entered the film in the Dallas Videofest, if that doesn't work out he is going for the Lone Star Film Festival - per my suggestion. Hope to see it soon!
- Ben Harper is talking about retiring. First The White Stripes and now this?!? But Jack White released a record in one day.
- So I did some research and on April 22nd 1978 The Blue Brothers made their first appearance. This should be referring to the performance in bee costumes on SNL? But there was apparently an appearance before that in their classic attire. I haven't figured it out yet, and you can't find the bee costume version anywhere.

Queensryche Settlement Forthcoming
As of now Geoff Tate's website is billed as "Geoff Tate - The Voice of Queensryche" with a link to "Queensryche without Geoff Tate" pointing to the Todd La Torre fronted version, which features all the remaining Queensryche members. Confused yet?
Interestingly enough the reciprocal is not featured on the "Queensryche without Geoff Tate" site with a link pointing back to Geoff Tate site.
An official press release is forthcoming.
FYI - Queensryche.com = Geoff Tate version, queensrycheofficial.com = remaining members version

Really??!?!?
UPDATE: From the Freedom Facebook page
According to this article Great White were slated for a free post game show after an Indoor League Football game (it was also 80's night) but the promoters failed to promote it. So no one stayed. My question is, and I am not trying to be sarcastic, what if they did promote it? The arena holds 8500, but was it full for the game? This is Trenton's third indoor team in the last 15 years - and apparently the discount site Spinsaver knew about it. Not the biggest Great White fan but if I would have been in attendance I would have taken full advantage of the situation.
