Jimmy Swaggert: Rock & Roll Quote
Submitted by Rock and Roll Guru Blog

And we all know how much credibility Jimmy Swaggert has.
Ironically, Jimmy is a cousin of Jerry Lee Lewis.

I’m the “Freak of the Week!”
Submitted by Rock and Roll Guru Blog
It’s been a wonderfully chaotic week here at headquarters. One of the highlights is that I’ve been named “Freak of the Week” by Dave Rendall on his fabulous blog, Freak Factory.

Steven Tyler: Rock & Roll Quote
Submitted by Rock and Roll Guru Blog
“There was a gap out there in the zit-pocked heart of the teenage wasteland and we were determined to fill it. We were the real thing-hard rock, booty-shaking music with nasty lyrics…I lived by the old rock star manual: wretched excess in dandified duds.”~Steven Tyler
That sums up Aerosmith nicely, [...]

Me and The Beatles?
Submitted by Rock and Roll Guru Blog
I had a very cool dream last night that I was hanging out with the Beatles. It was in their younger days when they were still wearing suits.
I’m hoping the later hippie Beatles show up tonight.
I’ll keep you posted.

Jerry Garcia: Rock & Roll Quote
Submitted by Rock and Roll Guru Blog
“You need music. I don’t know why. It’s probably one of those Joseph Campbell questions, why we need ritual. We need magic and bliss and power and myth and celebration and religion in our lives and music encapsulates a lot of it.”~Jerry Garcia
Well put, Uncle Jerry.
We miss you.

Jackson Browne - Running On Empty (1977)
Submitted by Bloggerhythms Blog
Most singer-songwriters seem to have a short shelf life. They issue three or four excellent albums early in their careers, win over the critics and much of the public, and then coast for the next twenty-five or thirty years. Perhaps they just run out of things to say. Finally, after they shake [...]
