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

This edition had a fancy “trailblazers” theme which highlighted vanguard-y stuff by Elton John, Bill Haley, Run DMC and Swedish House Mafia.

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.

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

Technically this was last week’s This Week In Music History column, but I’ve been busy, and sick, so stuff it.  There’s stuff about John Lennon, Black Flag and The Rolling StonesAltamont adventure in there.

This Week In Music History: November 25 – December 1

Tina Turner and Mick Jagger

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

This week’s column, though filled with all sorts of interesting information, is mostly a set-up to talk about how smokin’ hot a performer Tina Turner was back in the day. I know that’s hard to believe for anyone who only knows her for her hokey ’80s ballads, but seriously. I’ll help you out with this clip from ’71 below.

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

This one was particularly weird because not only did I get to talk about the infamous Michael Jackson baby dangling incident, but there was also not one but two rock ‘n’ roll child bride divorce stories. None of which involved R. Kelly.
