9/20: BACK FROM LA AND HAIR NATION FESTIVAL, MORE
Back from LA and the first ever Hair Nation Festival that I was honored to host. This one was a slam dunk! Great weather, and a great turnout of fans young and old. Like most festivals that I am working I don’t get to watch everyone, but truly of the many bands I did see all really did a great job. The music was literally non stop with a revolving stage. And there was even a side stage that unfortunately overlapped with some of the bands on the main stage. But it was a great celebration of 80’s hard rock for sure and everyone seemed to have a blast. It was also the last rock show at Irvine Meadows which is closing soon. Live Nation who produced the show tells me they will do another next year at a new S CA location TBA. Huge thanks to all the fans and bands and to Live Nation LA for having me. Also special thanks to those who purchased my VIP and played some backstage Stump The Trunk!
Had some great interviews last night with Jeff Pilson and Jesse James DuPree. Coming soon to my podcast. This Thursday my guest is Jim Breuer in a podcast exclusive!
The Farm Rock show this weekend in IL is postponed.

No news on TMS. When I know you’ll know, thanks.
Ace Frehley this Friday in NYC at Playstation. See you there!
Hey Eddie. Now that Cliff Williams has officially announced his retirement and the rock or bust tour is over, it would be great to hear his perspective on the tour and the future of the band, and also to hear him reflect on his career with one of the biggest rock bands of all time. One of the most underrated base players in my opinion, and when locked in with Phil Rudd and Malcolm Young, one of the all time great rhythm sections, IMHO.
Really enjoyed the Jeff Pilson interview on Eddie’s show recently. I think Jeff hinted at something with Foreigner that maybe didn’t get picked up on. “Line-up changes” in 2017? I think if they are planning an outdoor shed tour in 2017 then this means only 1 thing-Lou Gramm will be coming back to the band!
Thanks to Eddie for tweeting about the new Glenn Hughes track. Watched the video-so cool Glen got Will Ferrell to guest in it!
