My parents had a bit of age discrepancy between them; my mother’s teenage years were Beatles-and-hippie culminating in her high school graduation in 1969, while my father was five years her junior and actively enjoying the widespread pharmaceuticals of the post-hippie, “Dazed and Confused” era. My birth came along while disco was all the rage, [...]

Here’s the Jordan Rudess interview on which I collaborated with . It’s pretty short and pretty general, as pretty much any question I asked which could be classified as “tough” or “fun” were left unanswered or blown off. Ahhh well.

Jen and I always thought Sebastian Bach was the mega-king super-hotness god. We were both 15 year old high school freshmen who had spent our junior high years together as raging hair-bandaholics (after we recovered from New Kids On the Block sickness, of course). We both adored music like few others; actually, our whole circle [...]

While Amazon shipped it today, my impatience is much too strong. Anyway. Some WEIRD setlist choices, I must say. 1/2 of the second disc of 6DOIT, and only “Disappear” from the first disc. 5 of 7 songs from TOT. And goddamn it, Tanya, just like when we saw them live — NOTHING FROM AWAKE. Three [...]
