I mean, it’s only March, and, so far, we’ve seen:
1. the miracle of super-drummer/songwriter/rockmeister Peter Dintino as he is winning his battle against leukemia. If you haven’t read his angel-daughter Lin’s journal, do it at Pete’s Caringbridge site [...]

A Day in Rock History

Sorry for the holdup, Rockers, but … well, Mother Nature had other plans for the RelicRoom today (yep … the power went out!). Since the suits at Compaq haven’t figured out how to run a PC by candlepower, I (snif!) had to be off-the-air for a bit.
Anyway, whaddya say we get on with today’s [...]

A Few Fast Facts (and the ForeFront)

Man, I’ve got some rock-crazy whiskerlickers (to the uninitiated: cats. Opposite of “dogs”) here. Y’see, whenever the Relic revs up his roster of rock on the PC, I get Dudette, TLC and Lucy Furr climbin’ up m’legs and crash near the speakers (they’re not declawed, natch … and neither are the kittens!)Anywayyyyy … [...]

Didja Know? (the Everly Brothers)

Awright … who didn’t dig Don & Phil back-in-the-day?? They had the closest harmonies this side of heaven; though there were other acts that had that closeness (Simon and Garfunkel, The Hollies, Chad & Jeremy), theirs were so tight that it sounded as if one had done the lead then overdubbed the harmony!
BUT [...]

Fleetwood CROW?!?

Latest news from the RockDesk is that rock/alt/occasional-country crooner Cheryl Crow is gonna be joining Fleetwood Mac!Though she’s keepin’ it a bit silent (it’ll be sometime next year) she said, on Thursday, “”I don’t want to make any official announcements, but I will say that we definitely have plans for collaborating in the future, and [...]
