Are You For Wheel?
I bet if you’re Head of Research and Development at Goodyearâ„¢, you get fed up with people telling you all the time that there’s no need to ‘reinvent the wheel’. Because, hey, you’ve got kids to feed, dammit!

Here’s the rest (ie, the non-tip) of that facial [...]

INXS

I think all of rock fandom stand united as one in its whole-fisted approval of the ascension of JD Fortune to the role of lead singer of INXS. If there’s a superior replacement for Michael Hutchence than JD, then reality television was not able to find him. And that’s good enough for me. (And, indeed, [...]

Chuck Berry

Today, I would like to discuss Johnny B. Goode. In particular, I’d like to discuss the fact that, according to the lyrics, he ‘could play a guitar just like a-ringing a bell’. Ponder that for a second, if you would. What Chuck is saying here is that Mr Goode strummed his guitar in such a [...]

However, if some kind [...]
