After a nine month absence, I’ve discovered that since I don’t have anything better to do, I might as well resurrect this miserable excuse for music blog. But I’m not alone in the comeback department . . . you can’t fling a broken Stratocaster neck without hitting an old lost rocker back on the road again. Speaking of which, the original J. Geils Band are back in the saddle and will be appearing at the Fillmore Detroit on Friday, April 24. And after all these years, it will be even more poignant to hear Peter Wolf make a personal request to the ladies in the audience to “pull out your false teeth mama so I can suck on your gums!!
And if that isn’t enough to whet your rock and roll appetite for some 70s nostalgia, you’ll be busting a G-string to hear that the original Mott the Hoople has reformed to play six consecutive shows at the Hammersmith Odeon this October. A DVD will most certainly come out of this venture along with additional stimiulus funds for Ian Hunter and the rest of the boys. I’m a dude, yeah!
And closer to home, there’s a rumor that Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes (Journey to the Center of Your Mind) will be sharing a stage together again. Stay tuned for details.
