It’s really a rare thing for me to have much sympathy for any presidential candidate (and sitting president that is…) wherever in the world, as I find myself having for Monsieur N’Dour…
Rio Reiser: König von Deutschland
Rio Reiser with Pankow & the Eurohorns, live at Palast der Republik, Berlin, 1989…
The Tallest Man On Earth: Love Is All
It only took a man traveling all the way from Nevada’s desert to Lüdinghausen, Germany, to get me into Kristian Matsson from Dalarna, Sweden. Kristian is “The Tallest Man On Earth”… has two albums out already and will be heard of a lot – if there is any justice left in the music world!
Thanks a LOT, John! And a Happy New Year to all!
Mike Peters: Happy Xmas (War Is Over)
Christmas Greeting from Mike Peters. Recorded in Norway during the Acoustic Norway Tour, December 2011
Merry (Blue) Christmas!
This one goes out to my friends and all people of all races, regions and religions: Here’s the greatest band on earth, with pretty much the only Christmas song I can still stand hearing these days. Live at the Carousel House on the Asbury Park Boardwalk, just a year ago…:

Andy Fairweather Low: Hymn For My Soul (6 Videos)
Spend last night with the wife at our favorite RottenRock&Roll theater, just to see Borussia Dortmund defeating Werder Bremen on their own pitch by 0:2 and having some of the finest gentlemen who ever came out of England to play two sets on a Friday night just for us. A great night was had by all. Football fans happy, music lovers happy, Andy happy. Happy Weekend!
Watch out for more videos after the jump!
Finally, Europe Is Ready 4 The JUKES! (Again)
Some of the best people I know are NOT from New Jersey… they’re Scottish, actually, Glasweegians… and this is what happened, when New Jersey’s finest has been meeting Glasgow’s best for the last time… In my humble opinion, probably one of the best audiences all over Europe (YES, Scottland actually IS a part of Europe!)…
TONIGHT only: SOUTHSIDE JOHNNY & THE ASBURY JUKES’ opening of their Euro Extravaganza 2011 at the Renfrew River Ferry, Glasgow… I can’t be there, other commitments, you know… but I know quite a few very good people who will and I know they’ll be making me proud of them – again!
Raise a glass! & WELCOME BACK!
