Rock and Roll Road Trip

UPDATE – Here is the full article. I interviewed Tom Delonge from Blink 182 yesterday in a piece that will be running on Noisecreep next week. He was diagnosed with skin cancer last year, it was treated and he’s fine now, but he’s taken up the cause for breast cancer on the current Blink 182/My…

Our son leaves for college today and we are, as many feel in this moment, all over the map. Proud as can be – but aching in the notion that the house will be quieter without all the wonderful noise. I’ve gotten to know Christopher Cross this year. He has a wonderful new album called…

The Van’s Warped Tour just wrapped up it’s 17th tumultuous season.

I just learned that my friend, Dan Peek, one of the original three members of the band America died today at the age of 60. I’m stunned. He was a gentle, talented, funny and wonderfully gifted man. I’m at a bit of a loss at this moment – not sure on the details – we…

Can he really be 68? I’m a diehard, I admit – for the Rolling Stones – but mostly, for Mick Jagger. My life was changed when I saw them (and him) on 6/22/75 at Madison Square Garden – my first concert ever. He has defined and redefined what the “front man” is and does. He…

Officers were called by the ambulance service to an address in NW1 just after 4pm today. “On arrival, officers found the body of a 27-year-old female who was pronounced dead…
