Aging Disgracefully - or - Don't Trust Anyone Under 30

Greetings rock and roll true believers!

I'm actually not suspicious of the under 30 set, in fact my drummer is 22 (whoops).  I just thought it was a clever play on the old Pete Townsend quote that would go over well with the audience of Rock and Roll Tribe.  I lied and in doing so revealed myself for the untrustworthy rock and roll geezer I am and made a mockery of the rest of this post.  Now that that's out of the way...

The ONLY Hall of Fame BY and FOR the People!

LINK: The People's Hall of Rock 'n' Roll Legends

 

In January, 2010, I started a website at blogspot called "The People's Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame". Soon after, I set up a page on Facebook, which I linked to the blog so that people could have easier access to what I was doing there. The idea was to create a fan-based alternative to the perennially controversial Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and…

Beachy Head Music Club What's all that about then?.....

BHMC formed in 2003 from musically inclined employees of the Big Issue offices in Brighton. Then Dug Degnin, Simon Young and Nick Flowers found a superb all-round instrumentalist working nights in a homeless hostel called Nick Cooper (or 'Mini' Cooper, in an ironic joust at his huge muscular frame). 
Simon became the main songwriter and began thinking how you could merge the Bonzo's with 70's Miles Davis. An absurd and insulting idea but one that gave rise to the Beachy…

I totally met Michael Nesmith and I didn't pass out

So Mike Nesmith. Yeah. WTF, right? Private, reclusive, mysterious for many years. A couple of years back, he got on Facebook and he posts long, winding tales about himself, his dogs, his home, his past, and a really lovely Mother's Day post last weekend. Photos go up. The whole thing. It's like he disappeared and then came back on his own terms. I didn't know how to take it. I'm a huge Monkees fan, no doubt. And, being a woman/girl of a certain age, I have a favorite and that favorite is Mike.…See More
