This Week In Music History: December 23 – 29

James Brown & Creed's Scott Stapp

James Brown & Creed’s Scott Stapp

My “This Week In Music History” feature went out again this week over at the Spinner.

This edition was all about considering the difference between a good showman and a bad one. For example, James Brown = good showman, Creed‘s Scott Stapp, while whacked out on pills and whatever = bad showman. Unfortunately for Brown, this particular edition of History isn’t about his hard-working show.

This Week In Music History: December 9 – 15

The Doors

The Doors

My “This Week In Music History” feature went out again this week over at the Spinner.

This was one of the weirdest columns I’d done in awhile. There was Jim Morrison of The Doors getting arrested on stage, George Harrison getting stabbed over 40 times by a crazy person, and James Brown in an interstate car chase.

15 Musical Family Feuds: The Jacksons, Wilsons, Browns, Gallaghers And More

The Jackson Family

The Jackson Family

It’s become obvious over the last couple weeks that things have gotten crazy town banana pants in the Jackson family, what with accusations of kidnapping, Janet Jackson slap fights, Paris Jackson lashing out on Twitter, crazy maneuvering to control Michael Jackson‘s estate and other weirdness.

Jacko’s isn’t the only family to have nutty internal fights, though.

There’ve been the fist-fighting Gallagher brothers in Oasis, the soap opera antics of James Brown‘s family, the cake stomping antics of The Kinks and a whole bunch more.

Sarah compiled a list of cuckoo in the coconut musical families for Spinner. You can check out that story by clicking here.
