I LOVE playing rockin' songs on KHITS in the morning 'cause when I'm crankin' up the studio speakers (...and they are SA-weet!)...I visualize you rollin' down the highway 'equally cranked'! I've been up and down the dial in St. Louis since the mid 80's doing news anchor and talk show host gigs on the AM band. On FM I've been "Rockin' Ricky" (still am!), part of Chase and Sanborn , one of the brothers of The Sanborn Brothers,and the music stations ran the gamut, rock, country, oldies, soft rock, smooth jazz...and here at "The Rock Wall of Emmis" where I'm havin' a blast! This place rocks!

McCartney: Best Bonnaroo Headliner Ever?

So says Adam Gold of Rolling Stone, and after reading his account of Sir Paul's performance, I tend to agree (and wish I could have experienced this in person).

Paul McCartney may have played 24 Beatles classics and seven Wings gems in a whopping, two-and-a-half-hour set at Bonnaroo last night in Manchester, Tennessee, but that doesn't make him an oldies act. Seeing the 70-year-old Beatle, whose voice has hardly aged a day since Please Please Me, play universally loved, time-transcending staples like "Let It Be," "Eight Days a Week" and "Yesterday" – selections from inarguably the most influential song book in pop music history – in 2013 (and all in their original keys!) is like being able to go see Abraham Lincoln deliver the Gettysburg Address in person. It's a privilege for anyone born in the last half century ...
Lou Gramm Interview Part 2

Former Foreigner front man Lou Gramm tells us stories from his book "Juke Box Hero: My Five Decades of Rock 'n' Roll". They include the first time he heard Elvis coming out of the speakers of his dad's car, how he sneaked away to a Rolling Stones concert when he was 15 and the fact that he turned down the first invitation to join Foreigner. Gramm and Mick Jones were just inducted into The Songwriters Hall of Fame for giving the world classic songs like "Cold As Ice", "Hot Blooded", "Double Vision", "Head Games", "Dirty White Boy", "Juke Box Hero", "Waiting For A Girl Like You", "Feels Like The First Time" and "Urgent".
Who's skinnier…Mick Jagger or Taylor Swift?

The Rolling Stones are going 'country' again with their guest star for their upcoming June 18th concert in Philadelphia. My daughter and grandkids will be going to that one (we're a mulit-generational "Stones family"!) Brad Paisley is the guest for that show which continues a trend by the Stones to reach out to the country music community. They've already had Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift on stage with them. Swift was the weakest and it appears in this clip (an 'official' Rolling Stones release) that Mick is nearly chuckling at the shallow vocals of Ms. Swift when she joins the band to sing the song that was a hit for both the band and Jagger's former flame Marianne Faithful, "As Tears Go By". Whaddyathink?
