If you haven't contributed and still want to, you may send a check to Chicago Joe's Rock 'n Blues Camp, PO Box 450081, Atlanta GA 31145.  We appreciate your generosity very much.

 

Heads up!  The February Second Sunday Student Show at Shorty's will be on the THIRD Sunday, February 21st, 2010.  Shorty's has asked us to make this one change.  So mark your calendars now.

 

Last night was a great show -- so well attended that I didn't find a chair to sit in until almost 9:00pm!  Everyone played really well.  It is so wonderful to hear the fruits of the kids' work.  We hear progress every time.

 
Motel 6 is now supporting Independent Bands! PDF Print E-mail

Rock bands love to trash hotel rooms. But apparently some hoteliers have no hard feelings.
Motel 6
A new promotion links the budget chain Motel 6 with budding rock bands, in hopes of helping poor musicians while also giving the frumpy chain a hipper image. (Right now, the average age of their guests is 35 to 64.)

Here’s how it works: Motel 6 will give free rooms to developing bands on the touring circuit. (The cheapo chain has roughly 1,000 properties in every U.S. state save Hawaii.) In exchange, the bands promise to give shout-outs to the chain on their web sites, and even from the concert stage.

The promo will begin next month with the Massachusetts-based alterna-country band Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers. Other acts on board include the punk-pop band Hit the Lights and the rock act Sparks the Rescue.

All the bands involved are signed to Primary Wave Music, which brought the idea to Motel 6 several months ago.

Later, the promotion is expected to expand beyond bands affiliated with Primary Wave.

To ensure that the groups don’t pull a Keith Moon on the rooms, company spokesman Jeff Palmer told Reuters, they’ve asked Primary Wave to insist that its bands “not go crazy" during their stays.

Metallica doing all it can to save missing fan PDF Print E-mail
Metallica has donated $50,000 dollars in reward money for a fan of theirs who disappeared at one of their recent concerts.

Police have been searching for blond-haired, blue-eyed Virginia Tech student Morgan Harrington, 20, since she went missing from a Metallica concert in Charlottesville, Virginia on the evening of Saturday, October 17th, 2009.

findmorgan.com said Harrington's parents were offering $100,000 dollars for the safe return of their daughter or for information leading to the arrest of whoever is responsible for her disappearance.

"The Band Metallica is also adding an additional $50,000 dollars to the reward bringing it to $150,000 dollars for Morgan's safe return or information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for Morgan's disappearance," it said.

Metallica has also posted an appeal on its official website along with photos of Harrington under the headline, "One Of Our Fans Is Missing."

"Morgan has blond hair and blue eyes, is 5'6", 120 lbs., and was wearing a black 'Pantera' T-shirt, black skirt, and black boots," the ad said.

"She was not carrying ID or a cell phone. Morgan was separated from her friends shortly before 9:00 pm at the venue."

Metallica urged anyone with information regarding the disappearance to come forward and also asked fans to check if Harrington can be seen in their photos and video footage from the concert.

Is Kanye West the biggest loser wanna-be in music-YEP PDF Print E-mail

Wait until you read all of this:

Bush-Bashing Rapper Kanye West Tells Concert Critic 'Kill Yourself'

Photo of Noel Sheppard.

Remember the high and mighty rapper named Kanye West who during a telethon for Hurricane Katrina victims in September 2005 had the nerve to say on national television "George Bush doesn't care about black people?"

Well, the man media gushed over for weeks as a result of this disgraceful display apparently doesn't like receiving reviews of his concerts that give him anything less than an A-plus.

As such, on Friday, he posted a vulgarity-laden response to Entertainment Weekly which had the nerve to only rate his recent performance at the Seattle Key Arena a B-plus.

Even more absurd, according to TMZ.com, some time after posting his tirade, West edited out the most virulent of his invective:

In the original post, K finished his disemboweling of Entertainment Weekly's critic with this classy kicker: "Kill yourself Chris Willman!" referring to the EW writer who wrote the review.

What a missed opportunity for Kanye.

After all, if he had posted this about President Bush, with some tie in to the war in Iraq or the economy, he'd be the toast of the drive-by media again with high-profile TV interviews scheduled for weeks into the future.

Too bad.

 

In another article from 2004:

In 2004, Kanye was so furious when he lost best new artist at the American Music Awards to country crooner Gretchen Wilson that he stormed out of the ceremony, fuming to reporters, "I left like I was definitely robbed and I refused to give any politically correct … comment. I was the best new artist of the year!" He even suggested that he was the victim of a sinister conspiracy.

A few months later, when Kanye won best rap album at the Grammys, he said, snarkily, in his acceptance speech, "A lot of people were wondering what I was going to do if I didn't win anything. I guess we'll never know."

In 2006, at the MTV Europe Music Awards, Kanye got so angry that his "Touch the Sky" lost an award to "We Are Your Friends," he interrupted Justice and Simian's acceptance speech to insist that his video should've won because it "cost a million dollars and Pamela Anderson was in it." Later, he kvetched to reporters, denouncing Simian's victory with profanity, adding, "I paid a million. It took a month to film. I stood on a mountain. I flew in a helicopter over Vegas . . . . I did it all to be the king of all videos."

Kanye-Why don't you do our friendly earth a favor and take your own advice, you wish and dream you were a real musician.

 


Quotes from famous people:

President Obama: In an off-the-record comment tweeted by @TerryMoran, President Obama called Kanye West a 'jackass' for his VMA outburst.

Pink says: "Kanye west is the biggest piece of shit on earth, If I Had Had The Microphone It Would Have Been A Different Night-Quote me. from UberTwitter"

Katy Perry fumed via Twitter: "(Expletive) U Kanye. It's like u stepped on a kitten."
 

"I've seen you do some pretty (expletive) things, but you just keep amazing me with your tactless, (expletive) ways. It's absolutely fascinating how much I don't like you. I like everyone," Kelly Clarkson said on her IAmKelly blog.

 

The list goes on and on and on. It seems that Kanye was seen drinking from a liquor bottle all night long-go figure.....And now he's trying (AFTER THE FACT) to apologize to Taylor Swift for his behavior. It must be nice to do as you like and have no repercussions.....

Come take a mic out of my hand Kanye-I DARE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!--->GMC-President and CEO of a music television network that would NEVER let that happen "Dirty South TV". Shame on you Viacom-you still continue to ruin everything you touch.
 
A fine example of how classless Kanye West is:
