Permanent Vacation: Aerosmith to Hit the Road This Summer
Lock up your daughters, America – Aerosmith are touring North America for the first time in two years. The iconic quintet – even iconic singer/American Idol judge/crazy person Steven Tyler! – are embarking on 22 dates between June and August on the “Global Warming Tour” with fellow rock elder statesmen Cheap Trick. It might surprise Idol‘s target audience, but before Steven Tyler took that hilarious hosting gig, he was the frontman for one of the hardest-living, hardest-rocking, longest-lasting bands in America. Tyler and […]
Aging Hip Replacement–Nostalgia Acts?
Is U2 nostalgia rock? Good question right? I’m going to see the band tonight (along with what seems like everyone I went to college with) so it begs the question, is U2 nostalgia rock? Are they The Rolling Stones? I think I can wonder this in my own column, it suits the parameters of what I write about. In my mind there are several types of nostalgia rock acts. There’s The Stones and Aerosmith. You know, bands that continue to […]
Everybody Dance Now!: Chromeo Announces New Tour with Mayer Hawthorne
If you have a case of the blahs and need to get your ass up and moving, very few acts of recent vintage do that better than Canadian dance/pop duo Chromeo. Following the success of last year’s excellent Business Casual album, the fellas are heading back on tour through the summer and fall. Joining them on this jaunt will be their neighbor to the south, Detroit’s own Mayer Hawthorne. The smooth soul vocalist will be touring with the Chromeo guys […]
Cougar Alert!: Rod Stewart & Stevie Nicks Bring the Hits to Boston
With a combined 75 years of hits between them, there’s no way that a Stevie Nicks/Rod Stewart double bill could possibly disappoint? Well…the two legends of pop/rock took the stage for a show at Boston’s TD Garden and blew my modest expectations away. Both in their sixties, and with two completely different styles of performance, each artist was incredibly entertaining. My expectations were modest for several reasons. One was Nicks’ well-documented history of drug abuse. Another was Rod Stewart’s recent […]

Blerd Radio Episode 3: The Disappearance of LeBron James
Blerd Radio Episode 3: The Disappearance of LeBron James . For some reason, WordPress will not led me embed the Blogtalkradio code into my posts. This pisses me off. A lot of you reading are way more computer savvy than I am (quiet as kept…I’m kinda dumb), so if you could lend a blerd a hand and help me figure this out, that would be groovy. Anyway, after a three week absence, I have returned with Blerd Radio Episode 3. My guests for this episode are my buddies +LB […]
Guess What, Whitney? Them Aussies Don't Play
Apparently, Australian concertgoers are a little spicier than most. A couple months ago, they went off on Britney Spears after what they considered a subpar performance by her, saying that they weren’t expecting so much lip-synching (have they been living under a ROCK for the past ten years?). Now they’ve turned their attention to Whitney Houston, who brought her “Nothing But Love” tour to the land down under. As I’m sure you know, Whitney’s been through a lot of stuff […]
