'Movin' Out'

The first song Joe Perry and Steven Tyler ever wrote together was "Movin' Out" and the song is on Aerosmith's self-titled debut. The band recently performed the track at their Las Vegas residency - they shared the clip on their Facebook page. Great stuff.

I took a vacation day off work today, so a three day weekend for me!

Classic Rock Anthems

Amazon playlist of the week! Yesterday's work was fueled by Classic Rock Anthems, a pretty great playlist. Listening to the songs reminded me of when I was a teenager, listening to WEBN radio in my bedroom. WEBN is a mega station in Cincinnati that plays hard and classic rock. Thinking of those WEBN days gives me a warm feeling because 1) listening to radio only was very quaint and 2) everything didn't seem to suck back then.

Some of my favorites on this playlist include "Carry On Wayward Son" by Kansas, "School's Out" by Alice Cooper and "Two Tickets to Paradise" by Eddie Money.

A few tracks on here surprise me like "Louie Louie" by the Kingsmen and "Kiss Me Deadly" by Lita Ford. I enjoy both songs just fine. They just sort of stick out a little. What do you think?

Woodstock 50 Is Canceled... Maybe

From CNN:

Woodstock 50 said in a statement Tuesday that Dentsu Aegis Network, a marketing firm that was financing the festival, decided to pull out. Dentsu executives informed festival organizers Monday that they were canceling the three-day event at the same time the company released a public statement.

"Despite our tremendous investment of time, effort and commitment, we don't believe the production of the festival can be executed as an event worthy of the Woodstock Brand name while also ensuring the health and safety of the artists, partners and attendees," Dentsu said in a statement to Billboard.

But Woodstock 50 promoter Michael Lang said the marketing firm's actions were "undermining" festival organizers.

"It is one thing to decide for oneself that it is best to move on, but it is entirely another thing to try and close the door on us," he said.

Tickets were never on sale for this event, so things could have been worse I suppose. At this point, I would work under the assumption that the festival is canceled - how can you get acts like Jay-Z and The Killers without proper financing? I'm glad I wasn't planning on this one.

The Woodstock 50 festival was supposed to be a chance for people to relive the magic of the legendary 1969 concert.

Now there are conflicting reports about whether the 50th-anniversary event, slated for August 16-18 in upstate New York, is still happening https://t.co/VLlvTGqVrq
