Apparently a bomb scare at the Hollywood Bowl last night. Second set, second song, "He's Gone" the band was rushed off the stage by authorities. Police dogs were brought on stage. After about a 10 minute delay the band returned, and Bobby gave a cryptic "All clear, kind of." message to the crowd. Th...

Re: RIP Chris Cornell

It’s not what you think Chris Cornell committed suicide on May 18, 2017, at the age of 52. He was a dad. He was a philanthropist. He was becoming an elder statesman of rock. He was a grown up. Cornell was aging gracefully, even doing that thing where some guys get better looking as they get older. ...

I just saw Gregg last May. I still can't get over how good he looked, and how strong he sounded. I was fortunate to get a pick from Gregg and his setlist that night. This one stings for sure. https://scontent-dft4-3.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/13254843_1191058817573733_8644277301703073695_o.jpg?oh=486961...

Awesome! I still have a few of these. I usually take a couple with me to shows and trade 'em to musicians for their picks. Isbell loved 'em, gave me a couple of his, and told we it was a "swell swap". https://scontent-dft4-3.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-0/p480x480/18489502_1537792712900340_43982290514039487...

Yep.

And ditch the cheezy "Dance Band Of The Resistance" moniker. I've loved the art work on the posters this tour, but it just seems so silly.

Lightnin' Hopkins Documentary

Probably the best thing I've watched on youtube in a long time.
I grew up in Houston, and my grandfather used to take me to the black rodeos seen in this clip. Lots of great memories, fun footage and great music all wrapped into about a 30 minute clip.
