The Very Old, Very False Myth That The Devil Isn’t In The Details, He’s In The Rock N Roll Music
ByKenneth Corsini January 14, 2023
I was reading something the other day. It was a discussion of all the preposterous rock n roll rumors that have propagated over the years. Naturally my first thought was that myth that Zeppelin was booed off stage in Kansas City. That of course led me to the old rumor that Van Halen were actually…

Lookback: Grateful Dead’s Americana 1970 – ‘Workingman’s Dead’/’American Beauty’
ByKenneth Corsini March 12, 2020March 21, 2026
*Photo of the Grateful Dead’s masterpiece ‘American Beauty’ in mint condition vinyl taken by your intrepid blogger. If you can read the words “American” and “Beauty” above, you’ve got better eyes than mine. I can’t believe it’s already early March. I’m glad to see winter pass, but man, Dylan was right, “time is a jet plane.”…

Inspiration, Kindred Spirit, Chef, Writer, TV Star, Anthony Bourdain, Dead At 61
ByKenneth Corsini June 8, 2018February 10, 2026
*Images taken from the internet and likely subject to copyright I woke up groggy this morning… I’d been on the road all week. Traveling for work isn’t as glamorous as it sounds. I was trying to figure out what I was going to put on. I was in the closet, half-asleep and confused (which could…

Dylan’s Silence on Nobel Prize: Is Anybody Really Surprised?
ByKenneth Corsini October 27, 2016January 27, 2026
I heard like everybody else a few weeks ago that Bob Dylan had won the Nobel Prize in Literature. I was surprised, but very pleased. I was in a bar in Fayetteville, Arkansas back in the 80s talking to a neanderthal drunkard who said to me in his pronounced southern drawl, “Bob Dylan is a…

Bruce Springsteen: Sixty-Seven But On A Roll!
ByKenneth Corsini September 24, 2016January 27, 2026
I have to say a big, belated Happy Birthday to Mr. Bruce Springsteen. The man turned 67 yesterday and shows no signs of slowing down. Having seen Bruce with the “legendary” E Street Band in April, I’m stunned he’s 67. Only Mick Jagger seems to defy age more than Bruce Springsteen. And you have to…

The BourbonAndVinyl List of Groups Overdue for an LP Release
ByKenneth Corsini July 29, 2016January 27, 2026
Album releases have become quite “the thing” these days. It appears that now, releasing an album that no one expects is the hipster thing to do. The surprise album “drop” like Beyonce or better yet, David Bowie (“The Next Day”) is in vogue. U2 even gave their last album away, much to many people’s consternation….

LP Review: Red Hot Chili Pepper’s “The Getaway”: Disappointed
ByKenneth Corsini June 18, 2016January 27, 2026
The Red Hot Chili Peppers, to me, have always been like guys I went to high school with. They might have been a few classes ahead of me and part of that cool crowd I could only aspire to hang out with but they seemed like friends. I look forward to their LP releases like…
