Well, first of all, I think labels were invented to sell the music. You had to know what to call it before you could sell it. So they call it, the blues, jazz, bluegrass, gospel, or whatever. But, some music accomplishes it all…so what do you call that? And, that’s pretty much what I like to play.” [...]

The Black Crowes, soulful purveyors of music’s most authentic brand of rock n’ roll, played the second show of their “Euphoria or Bust” tour last night - June 28, 2008 - at the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom in New Hampshire. We were there…In the front row…It was awesome.
This new tour follows the release of their much [...]

Speaking of Plant & Krauss…David Fricke with Rolling Stone has written a great piece about the duo:
How a rock legend and a bluegrass queen became the unlikeliest match in rock & roll. On the road with Robert Plant and Alison Krauss.

A long first paragraph describing how we came to decide on our next vacation destination would be pointless, as I’ve already revealed it in my clever blog title (I should have been a rapper - could have put my superior rhyming skills to better use.)
Anyways, Buzz headed to Texas, ya’ll!
We just ordered our tickets and booked our [...]

Elicia mentioned in her earlier post that we saw the legendary Eric Clapton last night at Great Woods in Mansfield (a.k.a Tweeter Center, and as of yesterday, Comcast Center). I miss the old days of roaming the lawn, but it is still a terrific venue to see a concert and we all had a great time getting [...]

This week might just be my wackiest yet of 2008.
So, to kick things off on Monday night I attended the Publicity Club of New England’s annual Bell Ringers - the Oscars of the New England PR world. I enjoyed myself - food was good and I loved the steel drum band. The award show usually runs [...]

Last night was bitter sweet. The sweet - our kickball team walked away with a win (I knew all we needed was our official t-shirts - see previous post) followed by some celebration drinks, flip cup, and karaoke at the bar Samba in Somerville.
The bitter - while we were consumed in kickball victory bliss, David Archuleta was [...]

Most of us get up every day to the sound of an alarm, get dressed, grab a bite and its off to work we go for hours and hours….and hours and hours. I switch gears quite often throughout the day with my job- which can make focusing difficult sometimes, but overall it helps to make the day go [...]

Ah, the 90’s - plaid shirts and grunge bands aplenty. Jason Lazarus, a photographer and teacher from Chicago, took a very buzz-worthy portrait of Spencer Elden - a High School senior from CA who is now much bigger than when he was photographed for the cover of Nirvana’s Nevermind album. Check out the photo:
Jason Lazurus also has [...]

The Grammy’s were on last night (if you haven’t already heard or, perhaps, live under a rock). Tina Turner and Beyonce’s performance of Proud Mary was absolutely FABULOUS!
Tina probably could have picked a better outfit (the silver body suit wasn’t extremely flattering for her), but I loved her hair and the overall performance from both of them was [...]

American icon and country legend Willie Nelson evidently doesn’t believe 19 terrorists are responsible for the tragedies of 9/11. He likens the “symmetrical” way that the towers fell to the appearence of an intentional building demolition, and makes the leap that 9/11 was therefore an inside job.
He said the following on a nationally syndicated radio [...]
