    Jimmy Crammer and I got one of our parents to drive us to the Commack Arena to see a concert. The then current popular band— signed to Apple Records by the freakin’ Beatles— was Badfinger, who was performing on a bill with two other acts—Cactus, who was the headliner, and Bull Angus— being the last band of importance. (Thanks Google. BTW–Tics were five bucks.) Commack Arena was a 6700 seat; dilapidated, old and tattered building, that looked like a huge airplane hangar, and once the house of the very popular Long Island Ducks hockey team, and the semi-popular New York Nets.…

    A ton of great music came out in 1975 including, Bob Dylan's Blood on the Tracks, Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here, Queen's A Night at the Opera, Aerosmith's Toys in the Attic, Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti, the Who's The Who By Numbers, Steely Dan's Katie Lied and Rush's Fly by Night just to name a few. As all of these albums celebrate their 40th anniversary, I'm reminded of just how important 1975 was for music. While each of these recordings were monumental, there are four that standout as groundbreaking, Fleetwood Mac's self titled debut, Patti Smith's Horses, Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run and David Bowie's Young Americans.

This definition see Punk rock as an undercurrent underneath the primitive American rock 'n' roll, stretching from the myriad different versions of "Louie, Louie," which is often singing at the fun on the campus, through the artful "Psycho" (The Sonics) and "Surfin 'Bird" style polygons of the day (The Trashmen) and finally followed by many rock musicians from the sixties to the band The Stooges. This often contemptuous stream of influence has become more direct because of The Ramones' more refined aesthetic; This flow came up short on the surface of the mainstream and then dived down again - and until today it still does not give up the demand for a true rock 'n' roll. the - in the sense that it was not trimmed.…

    In 1982, the Van Halen rock band decided to include a controversial clause in their contract rider; have a full bowl of M&Ms in the backstage, but with the restriction of not even a single brown M&M in it. This requirement was used by the band to ensure that the promoter had read throughout all the points in the contract, and if this particular request was not paid enough attention that might indicate that even other more important information was neglected.
