The Rolling Stones: Some Girls Live in Texas Coming to DVD!

Leave a comment

It’s easy to take a band like The Rolling Stones for granted. They’ve been together, through various lineup changes (but surprisingly only one actual member death!), touring and recording new music since before most people reading this blog were even born. Is that some kind of record? I’m just going to say that it is.

This past Thursday I was super fortunate to have been able to see Roxy Music front man Bryan Ferry perform at the Beacon Theater here in NYC. He looked great and sounded amazing! He also did a fun and varied set of songs that ranged from both early and later period Roxy Music, his own solo stuff and covers of Bob Dylan and Neil Young tunes. Ferry is changing up the song list on this tour, so every show is a little bit different, but if you weren’t at the Beacon on October 6, 2011, this is what you missed.

“This One’s Optimistic…”

According to hot tips all over the Interwebs today, Radiohead will be playing / appearing at the ongoing protest / Freak Show known as Occupy Wall Street today, Friday September 30th, at around 4:00 PM. This should really be a hot mess, as police are making anyone even trying to get onto Wall Street show proof that they work on the block in order to get access. If you make it down, please leave a comment on this post, so I know what I missed. Have fun everyone!!
