Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp and Sweet Relief Musicians Fund are holding a Benefit Concert for Jesse Farner, u arson of Grand Funk Railroads Mark Farner. Jesse suffered a near fatal accident in July of  last year which left Jesse and his family fighting back from a Cervical injury. Jesse continues to do great considering the injury but he and his family are warriors and will win this war The battle is made that much harder due to costs of care due to the lack of affordable health insurance  ( and God  knows I know all about that ) so if you feel  you can help this is a great way to do so.

You can keep up to date with the Farner family at thier website - Mark Farner The Rock Patriot

If you are going to be in NYC , please go to B.B. Kings for the Benefit. Roger Daltry of the WHO, Mark Farner, 3 Doors Down, Phil Ramone , Tommy James, Cliff Williams, Simon Kirke of Bad Company, Kip Winger, Sandy Gennara , Leslie West and the friends of the

I have told my kids a million times over the years that I have forgotten more music than they will ever hear…. and sometimes something happens to make that true, today is one of those times.

One of my favorite movies from the 80′s is Lost Boys, because of the story line ( yes… I said it, story line and of course, the fact that it was supposed to be my dear home Santa Cruz. I also loved it as I did all the other great movies of the decade because of the music. I am a simple girl who loves her simple memories.

One of the songs in Lost Boys was a cover of Michaels’ song I Still Believe ~

and When the Walls Came Down -

Michael died of a heart attack at the very young age of 60 on the 20th of this month while backstage at Pukkelpop

 Festival in Belgium. The Call recorded 10 albums from 1980 to 2000, with the two videos above among the most popular songs. Fans of the Call included Peter Gabriel who called the band ” the future of American Music”, and toured with the Call on the Shock the Monkey Tour , as well as Jim Kerr of Simple Minds.

Each time one of the talents of the 1980s leaves us, I feel a tiny piece of who I am , was… leave as well. Somewhere out there in the heavens, I believe that there is one hell of a concert getting ready to start.

Here’s to you my little loves with blessings from above
Now let the day begin

What do you say about a band that has influenced, rocked and loved its fans for over 40 years? I can tell you right now, that it would be nigh to impossible for me to pick my favorite song from the Scorpions, I love them all.

I can see how they love the fans, always have ~

Important Message to our Fans

It was always our pleasure, our purpose in life, our passion and we were fortunate enough to make music for you – whether it was live on stage or in the studio, creating new songs.

While we were working on our album these past few months, we could literally feel how powerful and creative our work was – and how much fun we were still having, in the process. But there was also something else: We want to end the Scorpion’s extraordinary career on a high note. We are extremely grateful for the fact that we still have the same passion for music we’ve always had since the beginning. This is why, especially now, we agree we have reached the end of the road. We finish our career with an album we consider to be one of the best we have ever recorded and with a tour that will start in our home country Germany and take us to five different continents over the next few years.

We want you, our fans, to be the first to know about this. Thank you for your never-ending support throughout the years!

We uploaded the very first snippets from our new album for you.

And now… let’s get the party started and get ready for a “Sting in the Tail”!

See you on the world tour,

Yours

Scorpions

Melodic Rock Concerts has got to be one of the best sites for Rock that I have found in some time. It is a a place where once you have read you always check in weekly and you are never disappointed. Some of the more well known sites could definitely take a few notes on how to keep your readership happy from them!

They are also introducing a new inclusion on the site, Rock Concerts Weekly. The first show will be done with some audience participation, and they are asking the fans to call and leave them a message with your questions, comments, thoughts about favorite rocks shows

This week the site reports that they will be doing an interview with Kip Winger of Winger. That’s right ladies, that Winger . If you have questions for Kip, email the site!

Remember 17 ? ~

and Easy Come , Easy Go ~

and now, Karma. I am really liking Stone Cold Killer. 18 said, they stole the song and sound from Disturbed, specifically referring to the sounds of Pull Me Under ( another awesome call back to the icy sounds of 80s rock! ) I am definitely buying this album, and hope to see them on the circuit in the states soon. I also referred 18 to their best of album from 2001 which she can listen to on their website ( here ) She then battled back with this from Disturbed on youtube – Guarded

One of the best parts of Melodic Rock Concerts site is the really interesting blogs and sites they link to, such as Bring Back Glam. Spent some time reading over there and found a like minded writer who has the desire to see Glam ( and rock ) brought back to where it can be a shining star again!

Of course, my favorite from them is always going to be Down with the Sickness * always love the noise *

And now, off to bed with me. Snow is falling yet again and I am wishing for warmth so some Sammy will do me good. Hope you enjoy and I am glad to be back to writing here. Hope you all have had a great holiday time, now lets go do some damage in 2010
