Happy Friday! Listen To Some Vinyl

I'm so glad it is Friday! It's been a very long week and I can't wait for 5 p.m. The Scorpions are doing it right, I swear. I've been listening to a lot of true classic rock this week and I found myself wishing I had a record player to hear some of the songs on vinyl. I have the records but my player is broken. The needle hitting the vinyl is a special sound and feeling - it just can't be replicated by streaming.

Drop the needle & Rock out. 🎶 pic.twitter.com/tZmhDf0hLW

Lou Gramm Hospitalized

Lou Gramm of Foreigner is ill. In fact, he was just hospitalized. Foreigner was due to tour very soon and now Gramm will miss at least four shows. The band will go on without him for those shows and it seems Gramm will be back on the road soon. Lou Gramm is 69.

Lou Gramm was hospitalized in Rochester, NY last week with a severe respiratory infection, dehydration and fatigue. He had hoped to be ready for the FOREIGNER Double Vision: Then & Now tour. Unfortunately, today his doctor pronounced him unable to perform at these shows. pic.twitter.com/o8nwNowD32

'Propaganda Fashion' -- Lyric Video

Queensryche has a new lyric video out today. It's for the track "Propaganda Fashion." The song is from the album The Verdict. It's not classic Queensryche - but it is pretty good. Thoughts?

David Lee Roth Says No More Van Halen

Diamond David Lee Roth made some news yesterday - and said that Van Halen is essentially done. I have to say, I think he is probably right. Now we all know Roth likes to preen and brag for reporters but this seems different. He didn't really say anything positive or negative toward the Van Halen brothers - just that he has basically inherited the band. In a way that is true. He shares custody with Sammy Hagar, since both men do their respective Van Halen songs while performing solo. Perhaps we'll hear from the brothers Van Halen soon. Or not.
