Remember your middle school locker? I kept mine clean but never without a healthy smattering of my favorite bands pasted on the inside. In early preparation for making another mini-zine of sorts soon, here's a short rundown of who was hanging up in my middle school locker and how music fueled my 'zine creations. By "'zine" I mean the DIY-published type (the kind you can hold in your hand! touch! feel!).

1. Fine Young Cannibals, "She Drives Me Crazy." Recently covered by Dolly Parton. It's better than her cover of "Stairway to Heaven." The gossip fans will be sorry to hear that Dolly removes "she" from the title. 2. Barrence Whitfield and the Savages, "Rockin' the Mule in Kansas." Whitfield is a great, unknown treasure. His live shows are legendary, or would be if anyone had ever heard of him. I see by his web site that he plays weddings. Wonder if my wife would like to r... MORE
Changing opinions about an artist happens very infrequently for me. I've decided that my defining personality trait is that I'm a synthesizer -- in all aspects of my life, I seem to gather information and don't form opinions for a long, long time. But once I decide, that's usually it. So it is rare that a band can overcome my initial conception of them. But it has happened. Sometimes it's the band that changes, not me, but it's never really that black and white. I'm ... MORE

Twenty one????? Time flies when you are rocking out...This one is for Adam Horowitz, Adam Yauch, and Mike Diamond. Three guys who changed the landscape of pop music and pop culture by constantly reinventing themselves...

Shadrach, Meshach & Abednego, if you remember the story, got boiled alive but were still prophesying, or singing, or something. Not that the Old Testament story has a damned thing to do with the rhymes. But come on. They name-dropped J.D. Salinger and Mario Andretti in this one. You gotta give 'em props for that.
