Beatles on the roof
My latest “This Week In Music History” feature went out again this week over at the Spinner.
In this edition we celebrate the Beatles last live performance ever… on a rooftop, remember that time Michael Jackson‘s hair caught on fire, and lament The White Stripes packing it in.

The riot that Guns n’ Roses caused in Montreal was a big deal. So was The Beatles releasing the Revolver album. Garth Brooks drew a million fans to a show.

SARSstock
My “This Week In Music History” feature went out again this week over at the Spinner.
Remember how SARS was a big thing like 10 years ago and then the Rolling Stones held a concert and it was like, dusts of hands, our work here is done. This was also the week that Bob Dylan disappeared/hurt himself in a motorcycle accident, and John Lennon called the Beatles bigger than Jesus.

Religious protesters want Lady Gaga to go to hell
On any given day, in any town or city, anywhere in the world, there’s probably some crackdown/protest/sinister bullshit happening that’s attempting to prevent people from rockin’ and dancin’.
Basically, the people behind these crackdowns hate music and they hate life and they’re assholes.
Anyway, in lieu of the latest round of anti-Lady Gaga protests in the Philippines and such, Sarah was tasked to find other examples of The Man cracking down on rock ‘n’ roll.
It turns out there were no shortage of examples, from Elvis Presley to Eminem to The Beatles to you name it. Basically, the government is afraid of musicians.
