It’s Nov. 12. And this is the day that a bolt of lightning struck the clock tower in Hill Valley, Calif. at 10:04 p.m. PDT. in 1955. As far as we know, it’s never been fixed 70 years later. It was also the night a young teenager managed to inspire a Chuck Berry to changeContinue reading “Never Forget The Clock Tower”

John Denver Crashes While Charlie Rich Burns…His Award Slip
It’s strange how specific dates seem to always pop up during a certain person’s life. Last month, I posted how Mike Gundy was fired from his position as head coach of Oklahoma State University’s football program 18 years and one day to his explosive rant against the Daily Oklahoman after a win against Texas Tech.Continue reading “John Denver Crashes While Charlie Rich Burns…His Award Slip”
Sweet Gesture At Jelly Roll Concert Doesn’t Go Sour On Fans
I’m not a fan of Jelly Roll, but a lot of people are. When he played on July 23 in Minot, N.D. it was to a sell-out crowd of 18,000 at the State Fair reportedly. One of them in attendance was a young man disabled and has to use a motorized cart. Sometimes, it’s hardContinue reading “Sweet Gesture At Jelly Roll Concert Doesn’t Go Sour On Fans”
Good Night, Sweet Prince Of Darkness!
The thing about music is that it all comes from somewhere else. Someone decides to play a chord a different way or does a different beat on their drums and the rest is history.

Thank You, Sly, For Being Yourself
One thing I always loved about Sly and The Family Stone is their music always seemed to have a beat and tone to them that you made you want to sing along and dance to it. AllMusic famously stated, “James Brown may have created funk, but Sly Stone perfected it.” On June 9, Stone, bornContinue reading “Thank You, Sly, For Being Yourself”
