Classic rock at the 54th Grammy Awards

Sunday February 5, 2012

Some people will watch the Grammy Awards on Sunday (2/12) to see who wins, some to see what they're wearing and who they're with. But most, according to the best available evidence, will be watching for the performances.

Top 10 classic rock love songs

Tuesday January 31, 2012

It almost sneaked up on me again. Valentine's Day. Not a good one to forget if you want to keep peace in the family.

I've been known to go all snarky and pick (on) some of the worst classic rock love songs, but I've decided to play nice this time.

It's audience participation time, which means that I'm sure you have some favorites that aren't on my list, so you'll have a chance to share them.
