Me at Age 18. Best. ’70s. Hair. Ever.
Hey Kids! I’ll be heading out west for a few days to attend my one hundred million billionth High School Reunion out in the OC, so blog posts will be a little sparse. If I can just stomach the deluge of Styx and Boston songs the DJ plays, I’m certainly expecting this shindig to be more hilarity than horror-show. But you never can tell.
Nothing’s Shocking
ERIC AVERY AGREES TO REUNITE WITH JANE’S ADDICTION FOR FIRST TIME SINCE 1991; LEGENDARY BAND TO BE HONORED AT FIRST-EVER U.S. NME AWARDS IN LOS ANGELES
LOS ANGELES, April 15, 2008 – After much speculation in the previous week, Eric Avery has agreed to join former band mates Jane’s Addiction for a one-night-only performance at the first-ever U.S. NME Awards. The iconic foursome will be crowned with the Godlike Genius Award during the ceremony and performance, to take place at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles, April 23. Jane’s Addiction is joining the likes of The Clash, New Order, Primal Scream and Manic Street Preachers, who are among the acts to have picked up the Godlike Genius prize at the UK awards.

Alice Cooper Was a Band: L to R Michael Bruce, Alice Cooper (with his then-girlfriend, model Cindy Lang), Dennis Dunaway, Glen Buxton (RIP) and Neal Smith
Well, this sure is exciting news for all the Glam Rock heads out there. The four surviving members of the groundbreaking ’70s rock band, Alice Cooper, will reunite for one performance only on Saturday December 16th. Guitarist Michael Bruce, Bassist Dennis Dunaway and Drummer Neal Smith will join vocalist Alice Cooper on stage at Cooper’s annual charity event, Alice Cooper’s Christmas Pudding. As of last night, tickets are still available. The Pudding, as it is known, also features a dozen other bands and comedians, so I’m sure it’s worth the price of admission, if only to see Alice Cooper perform its classic songs like “Billion Dollar Babies” and “I’m Eighteen” as they were originally captured live and on vinyl over 30 years ago. If you’re in the Phoenix area, I strongly recommend you not miss it.
