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…:
Bob Seeger: Old Time Rock & Roll
Are your ears bleeding because you’ve had too much George Michael already?
Well, my fellow youngsters, I’ve got the right antidote for ya! No Band-Aid! Just old people playing “Old Time Rock & Roll”… Hell… I just LOVE this…

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!
Paul Simon: Still Cracy After 70 Years…
Your voice always only added beauty to my life as your consciousness added reason. Happy Birthday Mr. Simon!
(The Dick Cavett Show, 1970)
Early Elton: Burn Down The Mission
Early Elton – Burn Down The Mission – Rockwood Music Hall – New York City, NY – 14.01.2011
This is just another reason why I hate my life. Kazee, Pagano & Conte are going to play the Rockwood Music Hall in NYC again, TONIGHT! And me will be sitting at home in front of the lousy TV watching a lousy football match. If I’d be having the budget, I’d fly those guys in and have them play my local bar on every other weekend… But well… I’m gonna pump me up for the two nights with them JUKES in Amsterdam & Osnabrück instead…
You can’t always get what you want… but you get what you need!
And YOU can expect a couple of JUKES updates right at this and every OTHER place!
Bruce Springsteen: Growing Up
It’s BOSS Day! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRUCE!
This was “only” 39 years ago: Max’s Kansas City 08/10/72. Rare footage from Bruce Springsteen (solo). Bruce opened for headliner Dave Van Ronk and Doris Abrahams. The man, for sure, did grow up ever since!
REM: Losing My Religion
Is it just coincidence? The day that Benedikt XVI is visiting Berlin on his first official state visit to his home country, REM announces their retirement and disappearance into the great history of Rock’n’Roll. Now, you can, of course, wonder about their respective relevance… John Lennon once claimed the Beatles would have been bigger than Jesus. REM took a different approach, and Michael Stipe was not actually singing about the pope when he came up with those words:
Ohhh, life is bigger,
it´s bigger than you
and you are not me…
(Losing My Religion – REM 1991)
