"They don't even know what it is to be a fan! To blindly love some silly piece of music... or some band so much that it hurts..." - Almost Famous

Last year around Thanksgiving my girlfriend and I purchased a Peloton exercise bike. Spinning was never really my thing, but the idea of having 24/7 access to a piece of exercise equipment seemed to make sense to us as we get older. The bike has made a huge change in my life. I ride it most days and have taken advantage of their stre...

Once upon a time, musicians recorded albums. In fact, they often recorded a lot of them. Back in the 1960’s there are a lot of bands that put out two albums the same calendar year. The Beatles routinely put out two albums a year. They released two albums in 1963, 1964, 1965, 1967, and 1969. Every year from 1963 to 1970, they released...

Taylor Swift is the queen of the shady breakup song. She pretty much single-handedly created and perfected the genre. Airing couplet upon couplet of dirty laundry to set records straight, point fingers, or otherwise deliver someone their long over-due comeuppance. And in the process immortalizing all the petty squabbles and feigned o...

The other night I was watching a documentary on saxophonist Bobby Keys and learned an interesting fact. Something that wasn’t even mentioned in his biography, which was that “Brown Sugar” didn’t originally have a sax solo on it. Instead, the track had been cut and was being prepared for release when at a dual birthday party for Bobby...

Toto was never considered one of the "coolest" bands back in the early 1980s, in fact, they were kind of, well "nerdy." But they're certainly not the nerds any more as their relationship and renewed popularity is a result of Weezer covering "Africa," Toto's sleeper hit from 1982.

Other songs that were out there at that time were from...
