This actually just happened, one of those "Life and Times" deals, and I'm sorry I didn't check the dang Rockontv.com site and memo P2 on it (i missed the first 15 minutes of it myself). It might be broadcast again between midnight and 2 am again EST. Actually might be midnight. I

Tom Petty on Letterman Tonight!

Hi all, With all this talk about The Clash and The Jam, I thought it only fair to remind everyone that Petty and the boyz will be on Letterman tonight. Caught his SNL appearance and everyone looked older than heck, but still sounded great! Should be a good 'un! Kate.

Jon says: Dunno where the Clash fit in - not my cup of tea, you might say - but Weller was pretty heavily involved with the Labor Party-related Red Wedge, at least during his Style Council days. Or so my not-always-reliable memory tells me, anyhow. Jon is correct (and I'm amazed that Jon has

Hey there, Barry reads... While we're at it, I'd mention that what I AM reading right now, the book "The Jazz of the Southwest: An Oral History of Western Swing" by Jean A. Boyd, And the book was panned for doing just that by some western swing expert (Kevin Coffey? Cary Ginell?) in a recent

Hey there, Carl to JP JP, you completely misconstrued Weisberger's meaning here - it was an inside-joking reference to Jon's long, untiring **defence** of the importance of chops in country (and other) music. Well, Weisberger's post looked like an insult to me too. Perhaps Jon W should be

Hey there, Mr. Curry... You know, I said this at Nashville Extravaganza to the absolute horror of Bill Silvers and Chris Knaus. Also, in an attempt to remove any last shred of respectibility and credibility, I'll repeat it publically. The Clash did absolutely nothing for me. I believe my

Steve says: One other comment on it--I'm not sure Mike's vaguely Richard Butler-esque snarl really works in a rootsier context. It gets tiring a little sooner when he's out of the slam/bang Social D setting. I've always been afraid to confess this amid the Social D lovers around here, but I've
