I’ve attended a couple of Jazzfests (2017 & 2019) and would say if you’re going for the headliners, you are missing the point. Much of the best action happens on the smaller stages or in the Gospel, Blues and Jazz tents. Headliners, playing a shorter festival set on the big stages can be hit or miss. There are also lots of nationally touring and local acts playing at night. The festiv

JJ. Cale’s original version of “Cocaine” uses the line “sh*t don’t lie”. Eric Clapton changed it to “she don’t lie” and got the hit record.

I doubt this one made it past the censors, but it reputedly got them banned from many Country Radio stations in Nashville: Commander Cody & The Lost Planet Airmen “Everybody’s Doin’ It Now” The original 1937 version: The Modern Mountaineers featuring Smoky Wood “Everybody’s Truckin’”

I don’t know that I’ve ever heard the title track to Some Girls on the radio, but that would be a hard one for the censors to miss. The Jefferson Airplane slipped the “up against the wall, mothereffers” past the censors in 1969 when they released “We Can Be Together on their “Volunteers” LP. I’ve heard the uncensored versions of The Who’s “Who Are You” and Steve Miller’s version of Paul Pen

I wonder if any of the Stones will do a sit-in somewhere before they all hit the stage together again? Maybe just to kick the tires and shake off any rust.

Ronnie’s first effort with the band, “Hey Negrita”. From Wikipedia: "Hey Negrita" Credited to Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, Ron Wood apparently wrote the song's main riff, a piece of music he took with him to Munich's Musicland Studios where he and other guitarists were auditioning for the second guitarist slot left open after the departure of Mick Taylor.[1] For hi

I’m not surprised that Kenny Wayne Shepherd would own a replica General Lee car. It’s an iconic vehicle from a certain era of pop culture, and was never associated with racist connotations during The Dukes Of Hazzard series’ tenure. The show was built around many cultural archetypes and stereotypes, like other shows set in the South (Green Acres, Miami Vice are two), and like a lot of other

Supposedly, the Stones barred it’s wide distribution because the were worried that the images of rampant sex and drug use would lead to them being banned from performing in the U.S. Can’t see that as even a remote possibility anymore.

I was nearly seven years old when it hit the charts, and I have positive memories from that time of it as a song it was okay to turn up in the car when my mom was driving. It’s his best played song. The rest of what I’ve heard was lightly arranged, somewhat treacly Folk-Pop.

Bet a lot of these old places mentioned sold nitrous oxide (tNO2). In the early 80s, I went to a different Penguin Feather location just south of Alexandria, Virginia on Route 1 in Hybla Valley, and they were selling both boots and NO2. They sold legit records too, and pipes, and posters. Classic old “Head Shops”. You still see boots regularly on the vintage market, just not so many new
