    Review: Rockumentary, ‘Billy Idol Should Be Dead’ – And Thank Heaven He Isn’t!

    ByKenneth Corsini April 8, 2026

    Well, I finally settled in and watched the new rockumentary Billy Idol Should Be Dead this weekend. It was released theatrically last year (2025) and I believe has just recently been made available for streaming. I have to say, having now seen this documentary, yes, Billy Idol should be dead. Thank the universe that he isn’t!…

    ByKenneth Corsini April 6, 2026

    After surprising and delighting me with the release of Days Of Ash EP on, as you would guess, Ash Wednesday this year, U2 have returned (already!) with a second surprise release, Easter Lily EP which came out on Good Friday. I considered writing about this immediately on Friday, but got a little sidetracked with the two…

And The Broken Ribs” and “Derecho Demonico” were released Friday, which was likely in anticipation of White’s appearance as the musical guest on SNL.

    Playlist: Looking Back 40 Years, Rock Songs Of…1986

    ByKenneth Corsini March 30, 2026

    *Photo of the Halley’s Comet (3/8/1986) from Wikipedia and likely subject to copyright As we usually do, we started off 2026 with our annual “50-year look back” to the rock songs from albums released in 1975. And, as night follows day, we typically return to that nostalgic vibe in March every year with a “40-year…

    Review: Aerosmith Release ‘Legendary Expanded Edition’ Of Their Debut LP – Just For Die Hard Fans?

    ByKenneth Corsini March 23, 2026March 24, 2026

    This weekend Aerosmith released a new box set focused on their 1973 debut album. And while I’m on record as a huge fan of debut albums in general, I have to admit to you that this set might be just for the Aerosmith die hard fans…and yes, I count myself as one of those. We’ve…

    Review: Rush ‘Grace Under Pressure (Super Deluxe)’ – New Mixes & A Live Show From ’84

    Review: Black Crowes Comeback Continues With New LP ‘A Pound Of Feathers’

    ByKenneth Corsini March 16, 2026March 20, 2026

    The Black Crowes have had such a volatile history, you can perhaps understand why I was worried that 2024’s spectacular comeback album Happiness Bastards might be a one-off reunion. It had been 15 years since their last album (not counting Croweology an album of acoustic reworking of previous material). And the Brothers Robinson, in the fine tradition of brothers…

    New Song: Springsteen Covers Shane MacGowan (The Pogues) “A Rainy Night In Soho” – A Devastatingly Beautiful Song

    ByKenneth Corsini March 14, 2026March 24, 2026

    As I mentioned in my previous post on Depeche Mode’s newly released (stunning) cover song “Universal Soldier” from the charity LP Help(2), I find songs through strange sources these days. In the early days of my rock n roll obsession I need only turn on my local radio station, good ol’ KY/102 to find new music. Many…
