ENJOY…you creeps.
All right, I think I’ve got our next musical scapegoat. Thanks to everyone who voted, but I felt most inspired by Matt’s suggestion for ol’ Ace Greybeard Ratboy himself…Bobby Weir.
Bob is a prime example of someone who never fully got their due, or just became known for the cheesy things they did over [...]

All right guys. I’ve been having a hard time figuring who should be spotlighted in our next Case for Collins segment. There have been a few ideas rolling around my little mind, but nothing I was really sure would entertain you. So I’m putting the power in your qwerty hands.
That said, what [...]

I’m busy wasting time on my new addiction, Facebook, so let’s get straight to the business. I didn’t expect Facebook to be much more than another version of Myspace, but I’ve learned that it is quite different and now I can’t wait to see if someone attacked my vampire or received my song dedication…original [...]
Which guitarist member of Wings left the group in April 1981 to pursue a solo career?
All right, ever since the new Radiohead release a couple weeks ago, which they are now paying you to download, it once again surfaces that I’m not a big Radiohead fan. What!?!? I know, it’s puzzling. But it had me thinking again about all those things that the people with whom I [...]
Since I started posting Rock Trivia questions from the original 1984 Pressman Toy Corporations’s excellent rock & roll board-game, aptly-titled Rock Trivia, I have been in contact with the games creator Ian Liberman, who is a gentleman and a rocker. Well, Ian has an interest, and so do I, of updating the classic game [...]

Not a whole lot shakin’ in these parts, although the Fam and I did some pumpkin-pickin’ upstate for the benefit of young Kaydence (my niece, seen below). Good times! Other than that, just going to work, trying to be a good citizen and ignoring the voices in my head what tell me to [...]

I was about to post this as a Case for Collins, but then I realized that it is no longer a guilty pleasure to like Hall & Oates for most people, and that this is some indisputably great stuff. Now if this was Oates solo material, then I would have to reconsider. But [...]

What Syd Barrett song would Phish perform live with Fish on vocals in the early 90s? (this is for you, Red D)
All right, as someone who never really caught on to the whole Radiohead phenomenon, one thing I can safely deduce is that they certainly can’t possibly live up to all the super-hype that constantly surrounds them and that they also must be a magically fantastic band which I’ll probably listen to a lot somewhere down [...]
