A Tsunami Called Michael Jackson

By Song Channels on  From songchannels.com
A tsunami has many similarities to what it was like when Michael Jackson left our world on June 25, 2009. First the ocean is calm and the waves recede, much like information about his concert tour came in small waves as reported on this blog.  Similarly, a tsunami offers very few warning signs to the untrained eye. A few fish flop around on the shore as the tide recedes and many become curious and explore the waterless shore.  Then suddenly a huge wall of water a few miles a way approaches...Read Full Story

A Farewell to Michael Jackson - 1958-2009

By Song Channels on  From songchannels.com
There will never be another Michael Jackson ever again, he was one of the greatest entertainers ever!  I appreciated Michael Jackson’s enormous talent as a kid and had a unique encounter with the Jackson 5 when I was 11. In Baldwin Hills, California in 1971 the Jackson 5 were sounding great while walking rank and file into my local grocery store as I was at the stand reading the latest Tiger Beat Magazine.  I first saw Michael Jackson approach as they were singing their recent hit “ABC“.  My...Read Full Story

Jeff Linsky, Latin Jazz Guitarist & the Grass Roots

By Song Channels on  From songchannels.com
Back in the early 1980’s when high quality men were more plentiful, I met latin jazz guitarist Jeff Linsky at an ASCAP party gathering in Beverly Hills. I was living in Rancho Palos Verdes at the time, in the same condo complex with tennis star Tracy Austin who sometimes played tennis with Navratilova there. Back in the 80’s Jeff Linsky was obviously going to be a renown guitarist. He came over for dinner and serenaded me. We met up just one other time back then in Manhattan Beach, because...Read Full Story

Rock And Roll Helped To Articulate Liberal Opinion In The 1960s

By ppcmanagement on  From browseitblog.com
When playing a Hendrix vinyl, a Janis Joplin album, or a Dylan record, a complete experience is involved for the person taking it in. One may recollect the very power of human beings to rise up in defiance of oppression and push for freedom, rather than just listening to the music. Few periods in United States history were similar to the 1960’s. The Cold War was in full force, and the Civil Rights Movement was gathering steam and reaching its acme. The United States had metamorphosized into a...Read Full Story

COVER THE EARTH: Bizarro Versions of Your Favorite Oldies From Across the...
There are lots of foreign-language covers out there, but what really intruiges me is when non-Anglo/Americans approach the material from their own ethnic/cultural background.  Sometimes it's kinda clueless, like the South African group who sound like they really don't know their rockabilly (tho I'm sure they know rock better then most Americans know mbaqanga), while others are clearly going for a cross-over audience, e.g. the "chutney" version...
