Bruce Springsteen @ Rogers Arena

Before he even came onstage, the crowd was chanting “Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuce!”.  It sounded remarkably like “Luuuuuuuu!” which we all know hasn’t been heard in Rogers Arena this fall thanks to the lockout and a likely trade if the NHL season ever does get underway. Expectations couldn’t have been any higher.  Bruce...

Toe Tappin’ in Tennessee

When a city has the audacity to call itself Music City it had better have the auditory offerings to back that statement up.  There are, after all, many cities that could lay claim to such name.  And I’m sure there are many that snicker at the thought of Nashville, Tennessee...

The Big Easy

She’s a mistress.  Well, at least she became my mistress after just one week in her presence.  She’s experienced and saucy, a little impractical and a lot of naughty.  She has many names, befitting her mystery and romance.  Call her Nola, Crescent City, The Big Easy – it really doesn’t...

The Rewind Button – David Bowie, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars

(The Rewind Button is a group blogging project.  Every week we review an album from Rolling Stone magazine’s greatest albums list.)  There are many pitfalls to the concept album.  The first and greatest is the possibility that people just won’t get it.  Then comes the fear that they get it, but don’t identify with it. ...

The Rewind Button – The Rolling Stones, Let it bleed

(The Rewind Button is a group blogging project.  Every week we review an album from Rolling Stone magazine’s greatest albums list.)  There’s some irony to the fact that the opening track on Let it Bleed, Gimme Shelter, is comforting to me.  As a guitar lover, the first 50 seconds of Gimme Shelter is one of...

You might be wondering why this post is a week late and has no cover photo whatsoever.  If you are, then you’re reading this blog for which I thank you because I’ve been a terrible host. I guess I’m struggling a little with the point of this exercise I so cleverly dubbed MusicQwest – get...
