Etta James - One of the best is gone.
Posted by Robert Stanley on January 20, 2012 at 12:06pm 3 Comments 1 Like
I'm very saddened to hear about the death of Etta James. What a talent and one of the mainstays of Chess Records. Not many songs are more moving than her "At Last" and not many are hotter than "Tell Mama".
We'll miss her greatly.

Sparky's Favorite CDs of 2011
Happy New Year!
I've stated it in years past, and I'll say it again... I really hate making year end lists! I play what I like and I like what I play, so everything that I play is a favorite in one way or another! At different times, in different ways, these discs are all my favorite. But I suppose I have to bite the bullet and put my "favorites" in some sort of an order.
Of course I haven't heard everything released in 2011 (I doubt if anyone actually could), and I don't have everything released in 2011 (maybe yours got lost in the post?). If I don't have it, it's not on the list. Sorry. Some tracks that I really love, I haven't heard the entire CD…

MTVs 30th anniversary
By Ted Knapinsky
When we look back on the impact on MTV and the development of rock videos, we have go back to the formation of rock and roll shows that were on television. American Bandstand, Soul Train, and Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert,
These shows were very popular because cable television had not taken hold on the American conscience. These shows played a vital importance in terms of music, politics, fashion, and what was happening in the street. When we look back on MTV, we must pay homage to these shows. Without them, rock videos and popular culture would not be what it is today.
American Bandstand was the first rock and roll music show that must be acknowledged. It aired on the network a Monday August 5, 1957. Bandstands majority audience was teenage kids who during that hour were out of school.
The show was a major hit and local station managers wanted to cash in on the action. As a result, a number of teen dance programs…

I always think when I check out some of these old topics in the closet that Jon Bard's bowling ball is going to bounce off my head.

Theodore Knapinsky commented on Jon Bard's group 'Great Reads'
I really liked Ace's book. He comes clean about his days with Kiss, inncluding his feelings about Gene Simmons. He talks about his bouts the booze, and how he hit rock bottom and how he bounced back. A great read.

Great song, great album. I pretty much stand by all the Elton John/Bernie Taupin albums.
Gail Manchester replied to Jon Bard's discussion 'Songs I Never Want To Hear Again'
ahhh...here is a good old one by Sir Elton
maximum jack replied to Jon Bard's discussion 'Songs I Never Want To Hear Again'
There are lots of songs by Elton John and ELO I'm sick of, but those are definitely two artists who have some great songs that I never hear on classic rock radio. Tumbleweed Connection for instance, is my favorite Elton John album, and it…
