Music News on the Political Front…

Jackson Browne is hopping mad and suing John McCain for copyright infringement. It seems that Jackson’s song “Runnin’ on Empty” has turned up in a McCain campaign ad, which is blasting Barrack Obama.
Rock and Roll BoomerGirls
August 4, 2008
The other night while I was folding clothes and flipping through the channels, I came across “Best Videos of the ‘80’s” on VH1. I know I’ve seen these shows before, but I decided to watch anyway. Always love rehearing the old faves.

Finally, a Beatles Museum is coming to the US. Amazingly, there is only one Beatles museum that exists on the planet and it’s in Liverpool.
Tribute Bands

Rock 'n' roll memoirs
September 14, 2007
