Hip–hop. Rap. To many, the sound conjures up images of street thugs, crime and illicit drugs.
But what, exactly, is this phenomenon all about? It’s the new “bonga-bonga” music that sends parents into a frenzy, thinking that their kids are going to be “infected” by it and turn into juvenile delinquents.
Ummm … pardon me, but … [...]
They were just four moptop lads from Liverpool, making some rock-n-roll with their guitars, drums and a lot of hair-shaking, huh?Maybe there’s more to The Beatles than we thought! Recently, studies have been done that show the Fab Four’s early rockers are excellent remedies for non-clinical depression. Here’s what they found: Whenever someone [...]
You know, everybody who has a site/blog/something-to-say-or-sell on the web wants to make sure they have the best in search engine optimization. Unfortunately, a lot of websiders don’t really know how to get their sites noticed by the engines (here, we’re talking big guns like Google, AOL, Yahoo! and others). Of course, there [...]
Flashbacks. They’re really an amazing thing. We all have them every once-in-a-blue-moon, and old rockers like yours truly gets a carload of the rascals when a trigger word is mentioned (and I’m not horsing around).When I talked about Roger, Pete, Keith and John in the last blog, I (get it? Trigger? horse? [...]
When you talk about classic rock, you’ve gotta be talking about Pete, Roger, Keith and John; collectively, The Who. No band, with the possible exception of the Beatles, has made such a continuous impact on the rock scene as a whole.
From their beginnings in West London in 1960, they brought a rebellion to rock [...]
You know, with the news broadcasting showing some serious and idiotic hate crimes beginning replicating among our high schools, I’m reminded of Britain’s Teddy Boys. These guys contributed some of the styles that made the British Invasion acts popular in the US.
But the reason I brought up the hate crime issue is that, in [...]
Face it — no matter where you go over the info superhighway (especially if you’re lookin’ for rock-n-roll!), you’re gonna need a good (1) connection, (2) knowledge of how to operate the internet, (3) direction to the sites you need and (4) a really good monitor.
From YouTube to Google, you get the 411 you need [...]
Okay … for years, we’ve associated it with Western shoot-’em-ups, desert and Indians. But didja know the Grand Canyon (or, to some, Copper) State is also the home to some outtasight rockers?
Ever since I first heard Mark Lindsay (nee Paul Revere and the Raiders) perform his hit song, Arizona, I wanted to learn more [...]
A few days ago I ran across an article on a certain hip-hop star who bragged that he was the coolest thing that music’s produced in years (now, hang on: The Relic’s got nothin’ against rap or hip-hop. So don’t go there!).
He obviously hasn’t met Fats Domino.
Anyone who followed the story of Hurricane [...]
When the Beatles and other Brit groups hit America’s shores, it seemed that almost every type of music was pushed aside a bit to make way for this new European sound. But one style refused to back off; in fact, soul music began to grow in popularity — showing up on more airwave playlists and request lines than ever!
One of the [...]
