The Who's Rocky Road

My boss went backstage to meet Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend of the Who. And what did he find? No groupies, no booze, no parties, but ICE CREAM? You heard me, ice cream. A full-on ice cream parlor to serve the rock n' roll fans. I understand that people get older and sober, but does that have to equal BORING? I demand that my rock stars live a more exciting life than I do. Was there at least a beer flavored chocolate chip doobie rum flavor? Huffin oxygen and eating ice cream. What's next Roger and Pete? Doing shots of bottled water? My kindergarden birthday party was more hardcore than that. Then again, I am from Ohio.

Rockstar Supernotgonnahappen

The "Rockstar: Supernova" reality show was alot like a one night stand. It was hot and heavy and sparks flew....and then I woke up....sober....and said "who in the hell is this?" I enjoyed the ride guys, but you can't expect me to actually buy a ticket and come see Lucas rock out. I don't care if you bring along Dilanna, Toby, Magni, Storm Large, and the seven dwarfs. It's super-not-gonna-happen. However, if they want to film the backstage action, like Lucas giving Tommy Lee make-up tips, I'll be the first one watching.

IS THIS JOE PERRY OR JOE PESCI?

I had the rare opportunity to interview Joe Perry of Aerosmith last week. I was nervous because I know Joe would rather stick a dull pencil in his eye than to do ANOTHER radio interview. The interview started with “Hello, this is Joe Perry”, to which I replied “Really? It doesn’t sound like Joe Perry”. I’m off and running! His voice was nothing like I expected. He sounded a little more like Joe Pesci in “My Cousin Vinny”, only with a Boston accent. Joe Perry is a rock legend, a God, and a HOT one at that! I was expecting the voice of Darth Vader, complete with heavy breathing and all. Like some people say to me “You don’t look anything like you sound”, Joe Perry doesn’t sound anything like he looks. I’m sure he’ll love that comparison.
