‘Fire and Rain’ by David Browne – A Book Review
For starters, the actual title of the book is ‘Fire and Rain: The Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, James Taylor, C.S.N.Y. and the Lost Story of 1970’, and although it is a befitting title it is, the book encompasses so much more. Author David Browne ties together three major iconic music acts of the 1960s and... Read More
Happy Bar Mitzvah Google
We couldn’t help but notice that the Google scribble on Tuesday, September 27th was a “Happy 13th Birthday”. We weren’t exactly sure if every September 27th Google posts a different birthday scribble (although it was less a scribble and more a photo), or if there was some specific significance to this birthday (we’ll have to...

The Incredible Wedding of Pippa and John
Hannibal Smith from The A-Team used to say, “I love it when a plan comes together”. I couldn’t agree more.

The Irrelevance of Rolling Stone Magazine
Rolling Stone Magazine recently published it’s ‘100 Greatest Artists Of All Time’, which has been expanded since its introduction in 2004. At first, after reviewing the list, I was taken back by the broad term “artists of all time”. Putting my opinions and objections aside as to the order of the list (They really put... Read More
What Is A ‘Mobile’ DJ Supposed To Know?
In an article published just over two years ago titled “What Is A DJ Supposed To Know?”, I expressed an opinion that inherently, first and foremost, a DJ is ‘supposed’ to know about music. Reading that article again with hindsight being 20/20, I can see that much of what I wrote in that article was... Read More
