Another Member Of The 'Billion Stream' Club

I've been listening to a lot of Bob Marley lately. Probably because the music just equals summer and good vibes to me.

The other day I saw a post that "Three Little Birds" reached the milestone one billion streams on Spotify. Does that mean anything? Probably just that the song is iconic and awesome. It doesn't really mean a ton in extra royalties because streaming doesn't pay all that much, but it's still an amazing accomplishment.  Honestly, I prefer "You Could Be Loved" from the Marley cannon. It's probably my favorite track of Bob Marley's & The Wailers. It originally appeared on the album Uprising.

"Three Little Birds" appeared on the monumental release Exodus and is typically the Bob Marley song you hear used in commercials and movies and the like.

What have you been listening to this summer?

“Three Little Birds” joins the @Spotify Billions Club! With over 1 billion streams on the platform, we are joyfull to see Bob’s message reach so many people around the world. Every little thing, gonna be all right ✌🏾💚💛❤️

Available Now: 'The True Tale of Mista Bone: A Rock + Roll Narrative'

I've been watching for this news: Jack Russell's autobiography, The True Tale of Mista Bone: A Rock + Roll Narrative is available now. The Great White singer has obviously had some highs - and devastating lows - during his long career, and I want to see what he has to say about it all. I'm sure the horrific Station Nightclub fire plays a major role in this book.

Right now, Amazon has the hardcopy only. I am waiting for a digital release - hopefully that comes fast!

Metallica Hits A Major Chart Milestone

Maybe with the exception of Taylor Swift and Adele - can any other modern artist duplicate the amazing album success of Metallica's self-titled album?

Being on Billboard for 750 weeks is an amazing feat. To be sure I own the "Black" album in various formats and it seems like most other folks to do as well. Regarding the other historical feats mentioned in the post below - I have The Dark Side Of The Moon on many formats as well and I just purchased Bob Marley's Legend on vinyl last month.

.@Metallica's 'Metallica' has now spent 750 total weeks on the #Billboard200 (No. 178 this week).

It's the fourth album in history to reach the milestone, after @pinkfloyd's 'The Dark Side of the Moon' (990 total weeks), @bobmarley's 'Legend' (843) and @JourneyOfficial's…

Great White - Full Performance Live Video

Here's a new video of Great White performing live in Los Angeles. The show was recorded July 10 at the KLOS Helpful Honda Rock Room. Gotta say, Great White does sound awesome here. Singer Brett Carlisle is doing a great job! And yes, dude isn't even 30 yet - talk about new energy!

You Can Hire Mike Tramp's White Lion For House Parties Now

It has always been possible to hire basically any artist for a private gig (yes, even Taylor Swift) because money talks. Rarely are private shows or house party opportunities advertised so openly, but here we are.

You can hire Mike Tramp's White Lion for your next private party or special event. There are some specific cities available - see them below. If someone does a Cincinnati event, I expect an invite!

If You Collect Funko Pop Figurines...

For fans of Bon Jovi and Funko Pop - be sure to add the Jon Bovi Jovi doll to your collection. These things always sell out fast. I am not a collector, but many of you are so enjoy!

Quick! Someone Convince Me Not To Buy Another T-Shirt!

Must. Resist. Urge.

But this might be the most purrfect shirt for fans of both cats and Metallica. I'm just saying.
