This Week In Music History — May 6 – May 12

Bob Marley

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

The biggest deal is the fact that it’s the anniversary of Bob Marley‘s death this weekend. That’s a bummer. But there’s also stories about a spider named after Neil Young and something about Pearl Jam.

When Sarah spoke to Foxy Shazam recently the band was quite concerned about the state of rock stardom in the modern world.

In fact, they were so concerned about it they even suggested that the “rock star” as a type might be dead.

To that we say “Fie!” As long as dudes have moustaches like that, the rock star isn’t dead.

Writing Spinner’s “This Week In Music History” last week was fun. Mostly because I got to bait Radiohead fans a little bit. That, and talk about R.E.M. and Dolly Parton.
