'Peace Out!' - Aerosmith Rescheduled Concert Dates 

Aerosmith posted revised concert dates on their official website last night - but as of 9:16 A.M. ET, the dates are gone. Some folks made screenshots and posted on socials - Mitch Lafon shared what he captured via his Facebook post (below). According to the apparently leaked dates, the new Cincinnati date (my show!) is October 17. I am going to stay positive and hope someone actually just pushed the revised tour dates live before it was supposed to happen.


The new tour dates start September 20 in Pittsburgh, PA and end February 26 in Buffalo, NY (that will be a cold show!)


I kept my original tickets but I know many folks just went ahead and got refunds. I am curious to see if prices have risen for those that want to rebuy or if they are about the same. Are you going to a rescheduled show?

This Is Brutal - Jack Russell 

Jack Russell's Great White played a show in Texas a few days ago. There are lots of clips of the show on YouTube now and they are all heartbreaking. Jack looks really ill and has no business performing these days. He deserves to retire and I think he needs medical care, too. Hopefully he is getting the support he needs but I don't know who thought this concert was a good idea. Also, paying fans deserve better.


(The videos were removed from YouTube - cleanup patrol in force!)

Happy Eclipse Day (For Lots of Folks)

It's finally here: the day of the total solar eclipse. Some lucky folks are in the path of totality - and I'm one of them! There are eclipse playlists galore out there - but the best is probably to just listen to Dark Side of The Moon from Pink Floyd. Really, there's nothing better.


If you are taking part in any of the science fun today, be careful and wear your special glasses and enjoy!

Farewell CJ Snare

This one really hits different and feels completely out of left field. FireHouse took to social media to announce the death of singer CJ Snare.


Snare was 64. He passed Friday night.


Most knew Snare had some health issues - including cancer - but I guess we didn't realize just how sick he was. Snare had abdominal surgery recently but was supposed to be back touring with FireHouse for shows soon.

Meet EJECTFFWD

EJECTFFWD is a new duo made up of BBG! longtime friend Stephen Kilkenny and drummer/producer Seth Rausch. Seth happens to be Carrie Underwood's touring drummer, too! Stephen is the singer for Major Tom, now on hiatus because of this new project.


The duo started working on music together in 2021. Now they have a teaser for their first official single called "Southern Country Girls" and it sounds a lot like 90s-era Def Leppard. The compete song will come out April 9 via iTunes.

I Sure Hope Not - Motley Edition

I saw Nikki Sixx's online comments about upcoming Motley Crue music the other day and I sort of wrote it off as sarcasm. Media keeps picking up the Tweet (X?) below and taking it for gospel so maybe it really is true. (Insert shrug emoji here for good measure).


I know Beyonce just released a country album and good for her I suppose. That said, the last thing I want (or need!) is a Motley Crue country-hip hop fusion album. Just give me some new rock and call it a day!

Michael Hutchence - 'One Way,' New Single

You read that headline correctly. There's a new(ish) single from Michael Hutchence called "One Way."


Hutchence was the lead singer of INXS and died back in 1997. The vocals were leftover from a recording session before Hutchence died and producer and audio engineer Danny Saber remixed and created the track. According to the information online, the track took about two decades to finish. The song was used for a documentary and now can be purchased on vinyl. Amazing.
