Music DVD Review: Spock's Beard - Live
And to think that I almost wrote these guys off. Big mistake. When Neal Morse quit Spock's Beard back in 2002, I lost much of my interest in the band. To me, Spock's Beard without Neal Morse, was kind of like Wings without Paul McCartney. Morse wrote the music and lyrics to almost all of the band's songs, and he was the one who really defined them.The recent Spock's Beard saga leaves obvious... ...

Music Review: Little Richard - The Very Best Of Little Richard
The wild man of rock 'n' roll returns with a new CD release. “A Wop Bop A Lu Bop A Wop Bam Boom!” The year was 1955, the song was “Tutti-Fruitti” and the artist was Little Richard. Parents of teen-age daughters may have been uneasy with Elvis Presley but Little Richard made them fearful for their sons as well. Little Richard was different in looks, style, and the way he played rock...

Book Review: Sold Out So What! by Max Deale
A light fratire/how-to account on how to get into sporting events and concerts for cheap. But will they work? I can't say I've ever been shut out of The Big Game, typically because Toledo has no such thing. And the Can't Miss Concert is usually some no-longer-relevant '80s rock group at the county fair. No problem getting in there, either. But for bigger cities, the "SOLD OUT" sign basically ...
