The most iconic rock n roll stage prop? After reading the new Iron Maiden: Infinite Dreams book, I’m going with Eddie.

Great to see Geddy and Alex heading out to play shows in this new version of Rush. There’s talk of it being a five piece band. Tour kicks of June 7 at the LA Forum

Iron Maiden’s Steve Harris- in the new Maiden book called “Infinite Dreams” (comes out Oct 7th) says he was influenced by Genesis, Yes and Wishbone Ash. For a band that helped define an entire metal genre, I didn’t expect that mix of bands to shape their sound.

🚨New Rock n Roll Book Release 🚨 The Cars: Let The Stories Be Told And when a musician writes about musicians, you get secrets only an insider can spot. That’s one of the reasons why this book by @billjanovitz goes on my recommended list!

Why do our legends that are still touring (McCartney, Dylan, Neil Young, Stones, Dead and Co etc. still allow whoever it is to charge so much for tickets? At this stage in their career, why don’t they just cover the cost of production and sell the tickets for as low as possible.

The Ed Sullivan show used to reach 30-50 million viewers a week!! This new doc Sunday Best: The Untold Story of Ed Sullivan looks at how Sullivan quietly but powerfully supported black artists during the height of the civil rights era. Great doc!!

Springsteen said that Garland Jeffreys was on par, as a songwriter, with Bob Dylan and Neil Young! Though the new doc “The King of In-Between” is an interesting exploration of success, it introduces a lot of people, the depth of Garland Jeffreys and his life as an underappreciated artist.

The movie most people tell me is their favorite rock ‘n’ roll film, was released 25 years ago today. Almost Famous 🤘

Springsteen has a bunch of career defining moments. One of them was excellently delivered in the new book “Tonight in Jungleland:The making the Born To Run.” Do you buy into the idea that Born To Run is THE turning point Bruce’s career

Billy Joel wasn’t cool-until he was. The new “And So It Goes” doc pushes back on the critics who dismissed him for decades. Was Joel always underrated, out did he just outlast the hate?

How did Springsteen take such a huge leap in his sound from his second album to Born To Run? This new book is a great tale about what the Boss was up against and how he came through with a career changing 8 songs.
