It's Cryin' Time, people. From today's LA Times: Just hours before he died, Owens was on stage Friday night with the Buckaroos singing at his $5-million Bakersfield nightclub and restaurant, Buck Owens' Crystal Palace, something he'd done routinely since opening it almost 10 years ago. "He had come to the club early and had a chicken-fried steak dinner and bra

What a loss. I took some road trips to Bakersfield and saw him play a number of times at his Crystal Palace club, where he would perform every weekend. (The shows would be broadcast on the local radio station, which he owned.) That club is a great place, filled with walll-to-wall memorabilia. He was king of the hill in that town. I recommend his three disc box set on Rhino. For a rock f

At the Forum in '75 I heard Mick doing his low growling "Fat Albert" voice during the extended mid-section of Midnight Rambler for the first time. You hear him do it at the end of Hand of Fate as well. '75 at the Forum was great. So was 2006. It's a wonderful life.

Mick and Keith traded places a few years ago. In the late '70 through the 80's, everyone bagged on Mick, said he had become a "self-parody." Keith was viewed as authentic, whereas Mick was considered a phoney. At some point, the Keith-isms got a little old. He started to look like a self-parody. And Mick got his act together, released a great album (Wandering Sp

There never was anything "rock and roll" about Madonna. She is a pop star whose entire career is more of a throwback to '30's Hollywood style. There is nothing authentic about her. She's an exercise in hype and marketing. What really annoys me about her now is that you can bet the ranch that she will be inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame the first year she is e

Last week Stevie Wonder was on American Idol coaching the contestants on how to perform his songs. Then he got to perform one off his new album. This program gets a huge music audience. It even got better ratings than the Grammys. It would probably be an excellent way for the Stones to promote A Bigger Bang. Would I like to see it? Hell, no.

Keith perfected his gypsy/outlaw look in '72. (with those bleached streaks, he pretty much invented the Joe Perry look for Joe, who had quite a long run with it)

In '75, Keith had new teeth and looked pretty fit. But Charlie had a better haircut in '69.

This is the year where Mick becomes as visually arresting as Brian, and Keith sheds the last remants of his Ernie Douglas (from My Three Sons) dorkiness. There are some shots of the group in '68 where they just too tough--they define rock and roll.
