In recent Rock music events, the Rolling Stones have postponed their North American tour originally scheduled April 20th to July 29th. 75 year old singer Mick Jagger will undergo surgery Friday to replace a heart valve.
Local radio stations announced if you have tickets to hold on to them as the Stones intend to get back on the road as soon as Mick recovers!
A coworker has tickets and is eager to see the Rolling Stones perform... again!

My first recollection of a musician who was 'difficult' to work with was guitarist Jeff Beck. His first claim to fame was with The Yardbirds in 1965 where he had been fired in the middle of their U.S. tour for consistent no-show and explosive temper.
I read stories that he went on to form The Jeff Beck Group around the end of 1966 with singer Rod Stewart and bassist Ronnie Wood who complained about being on the road eating hard boiled eggs while Beck ate steak dinners.
Next on my hit-list would be Neil Young... he's the guy who walked out on Crosby, Stills and Nash a few times. Sorry, with his unpredictable mood swings dating back to Buffalo Springfield, once would have been enough for me.
More, more... I'll think of more.
Cover songs can be good or not so good depending on your taste in music and the quality of the song being remade. A friend of mine yesterday put this song on my Facebook timeline and I have to say it is one of the best remakes I have ever heard, To top that off the band doing the remake is from The Ukraine and their English is near perfect. Without further ado, enjoy Leonid & Friends doing Chicago's 25 Or 6 To 4.
There is a Saturday blog and a Sunday one. I was suggested to do a Monday one. There are some great songs about Monday but I want to do a Tuesday one.
Reasons for a Tuesday. Well Monday is over for this week and one of my favourite bands wrote about Tuesday mornings. Their song Fairytale in New York is my favourite song but today let's talk about Tuesday.
As I can't post the video as I haven't learnt how to from a mobile here goes the lyrics.
Too many sad days
Too many Tuesday mornings
I thought of you today
I wished it was yesterday morning
I thought of you today
I dreamt you were dressed in mourning
But I knew that you
WIth your heart beating
And your eyes shining
Would be dreaming of me
Lying with you
On a Tuesday morning
I fell through the window
And I found that I was still breathing
I thought of tomorrow
And the fear that you might leave me
I thought of tomorrow
And I wished it was Monday morning
Turn your face from me
And I will cover myself with sorrow
Bring hell down upon me
I will surrender my heart to sorrow
Bring hell down upon me
And I will say goodbye tomorrow
