Prince doing the Batdance
The recent arrival of the Fan Expo — known casually as “Comic Con North” — to Toronto brought out all of the costumed nerd types.
It also got me thinking about the many superhero songs that exist. So I made a list of 30 of them for Huffington Post Music Canada.
There are songs about Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, The Hulk, Doctor Strange, Ghost Rider, The Riddler and a whole bunch more.

Porno For Pyros
When Jane’s Addiction rolled into Toronto recently for the Rockstar Uproar tour I managed to corral Perry Farrell into talking about something entirely different — Porno For Pyros.
The band Farrell spent much of the ’90s in will be making a comeback of sorts in the near future. They’ve recorded some songs and will be going on on tour.
