Hard Read

This book culminated in author Corey Washington’s 20-year journey in exploring and researching the impact and a complex and misunderstood relationship Jimi Hendrix experienced (no pun intended) in the black community. Jimi’s life had been documented in numerous biographies over the years since his death in 1970. However, very little has been mentioned about his […]

Here’s a book review I did of Megaforce Records co-founder Jon Zazula called “Heavy Tales: The Metal. Music. The Madness. As Lived by Jon Zazula“. First off, I read the book in less than one day as I couldn’t put it down! It is simply amazing and is easily one of the best books I […]

Adriana RubioArts Publications I’m sorry, but, I’m gonna be blunt with this review, especially since I wasted about an hour of my day going through this book. Okay, sure, Jim Morrison is a legend. But, he also drank a lot, he did drugs and he believed in a lot of stupid stuff and that’s what […]

Have you heard Lewis Black’s latest release, “The Carnegie Hall Performance?” If not, I suggest you pick up that album and give it a listen before you sit down by the fire to read his latest book, “Nothing’s Sacred.” I say that because, for the most part, the book is the same as his stand […]

You know, we live in a world where you have to watch what you say because you might offend someone. We see it in the media all the time. Someone famous might make a joke or give an opinion and, all of a sudden, all these people come out, bitchin’ and moanin’ about how offended […]

Before embarking on a long winded introduction to this mountainous undertaking spotlighting the storied career of a then and again Rock legend, I thought it best to begin with some “Concluding Observations” as presented on the 512th and final page of the volume as adapted and edited from The Blondie Review: “Blondie is. a band […]

Here’s a magazine that might not appeal to everybody. Personally, I do find it to be a rather interesting read. But, it’s obvious that the editor is a christian and the magazine tends to be a combination of information and personal faith, which does give it a unique personality. But, as I sat here reading […]

First of all, I have to be honest here…I’m not into the musical style that’s featured in this publication. After reading through this, I saw very little that I would wanna add to my CD collection. But, then again, when someone does their own magazine, it’s usually based around the editor’s own personal tastes or […]

Magazine size, newspaper print publication that seems a little thin. But, it’s loaded with information and, for those of you who are interested in knowing just what’s out there, what’s hot and what’s not, this publication is a very worth read. Let’s examine the issue I have before me, which is number fourteen. Excellent cover […]

No matter where you go, I’m sure you’re able to find a free music publication lying around somewhere. They’re not hard to find because every state has ’em. If there’s a local music scene, there’s a local music magazine that will tell you about it. Keeper Magazine can be found in Southern California and it […]

THE MOST IMPORTANT BOOK ON THE SUBJECT OF MUSIC. As a music journalist, there are people out there who are under the impression that I know everything about every band that ever was. I do have a rather extensive knowledge about music, but, I DO NOT know it all. I felt I should explain that […]

Vocalist Jizzy Pearl puts down the microphone and picks up a pen and, out of his twisted imagination, comes a book, “I Got More Crickets Than Friends.” While he might not rank up there with the likes of Stephen King, he does manage to keep you entertained from page one all the way to page […]
