Talk "Poison" To Me
Whether you love or love to hate them, Poison became notorious in the 1980's as one of the bands that brought exposure to the genre of Glam Rock. Forming in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, Bret Michaels along with drummer Rikki Rockett and bass player Bobby Dall decided to relocate and chase their dreams, driving to Los Angeles in Bret's Ford Econoline ambulance in 1984. They would cut their teeth in the most famous bars of the Sunset Strip, eventually landing a regular gig at the legendary Troubadour club. Things were looking up for the group, but they still needed a killer guitarist to help them break away from the rest of their Sunset Strip peers. After auditioning many different axe men, it was down to just two virtuosos: an LA famous but semi-unknown C.C. DeVille, or an up and coming pre-Guns Slash.

How Vinyl Made an Unbelievable Comeback in the Spotify Era
Once upon a time, in the era of burgeoning internet connectivity and the rising dominance of digital music, a seemingly forgotten relic began to make a most unexpected resurgence. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, the vinyl record — with its distinctive grooves and iconic cover art — began to capture the hearts of music lovers anew.

My First Experience with Punk Rock Bowling
Music Festivals have always been the cornerstone of experiencing bands live in a short amount of time. Dating all the way back to sixth century BC with the Pythian Games. Then being defined with the advent of an event like Woodstock in the 1960s. Now they have become a world wide tradition with endless events around the globe. Some incredibly big and popular like the annual Download Festival, which encompasses a variety of Metal, Punk, and Hard Rock acts. To something as small as say the Mad Tea Party Jam, a festival encompassing Music, art, and camping. Featuring a ton of bands that I've never heard of in my lifetime and large Alice in Wonderland architechture. Id link the actual website for you but the domain is up for sale. RIP to MTP and all hail... Beardfest? Either way there is litterally a festival for every kind of genre in existance. No matter how experimental or obscure it would appear to be. One genre that has a whole slew of them is Punk Rock. A place that is growing with live music festivals is Sin City. So one of the festivals to come out of there is the famous Punk Rock Bowling music festival. As the title suggests the event consists of 80% Punk Rock and 20% actual bowling. Las Vegas and Punk Rockers seems like something that would merge beautifully don't you think?

Press Play
This list is far from all encompassing, but here’s the beginnings of a playlist to my life: "Springsteen" by Eric Church "Funny how a melody sounds like a memory" and for me that will always be when Eric Church played "Record Year" at the Taste of Country Music Festival at Hunter Mountain, New York in 2018. I had been a major fan for quite a few years but had not had the means to go see one of his legendary live shows, until he was finally playing in my neck of the woods. I was beyond excited, waiting for the day for an entire year, as it was announced at the previous year's festival. I had my boots on to hold one up in the air when he sang "These Boots." I had my aviators and merch, and I was prepared with the sleeve to Volume 1 of his 61 Days in Church box set of live recordings from his record-setting and record-breaking Holdin' My Own Tour which I had been devastated to miss just the year prior. My sister and I were set with our cameras to record the show and capture the moments to enjoy forever. I made a nice fleeting connection with a lady across the aisle who had a rare record store day 33 cover she was hoping to get signed. I cried when The Chief himself first took the stage and opened the show singing one of my favorites of his, "Mr. Misunderstood." After standing in the hot sun for around 8 hours - no bathroom breaks, no food, nothing but us, some water and all the anticipation in the world - the moment arrived when he departed the stage to scan the crowd for vinyl held up in the air to sign during "Record Year." That lady I'd bonded with briefly got hers signed (I recognized her victory) and then he made his way to our side of the stage. One row back from the front, he saw me and for a moment we were both holding that vinyl cover as I passed it up to him, as he’d requested. He didn't see my sign I had written and inserted in the cover, but that's okay. He flipped it over to study both sides and said, "What we got?! 61 Days?" as he raised his brows and I nodded yes. The look in his eyes when he looked back at mine was one of appreciation: he knew this meant I was a diehard member of The Church Choir, his fan club, and he was thankful. He gave it a once over a final time. He signed my vinyl cover and handed it back to me, again, briefly connected by that cardboard sleeve. Then he walked away again, but I could see the sparkle in his eyes in that moment of connection and it will always be mine. My "Springsteen" moment. (You can watch it here and we recorded it too - thanks sis!)

Voodoo Child. First Place in Melodic Milestone Playlist Challenge. Top Story - June 2023.
Right now it’s dark. All the instruments are still. The musicians are in bed or crashed out on the floor. I’m in the yard, under the sycamore. In the firelight it seems to flit and heave, waving its arms at the stars like it’s calling down guidance.
