Rock School - 04/13/25 (Booed off Stage) Apr 03, 2025

Show notes

"Tool was just roundly booed off the stage at their own festival. Seems they promised two separate sets over two night and did not deliver. But it is not just them. You will not believe some other bands who were booed off stage as well."

Rock School - 04/06/25 (Who Are the Names in Song Titles) Mar 27, 2025

Show notes

"There are a lot of songs that have famous people in their titles. We wanted to know who some of the lesser known people named in titles are. The internet did not disappoint. We have a good long list."

Rock School - 03/30/25 (Revenge Songs) Mar 20, 2025

Show notes

"We hit a thread that listed some songs that were written for revenge. A single Google Search later and we had a good long list. And it is not just Taylor Swift."

Rock School - 03/23/25 (Survived Plane Crash) Mar 13, 2025

Show notes

"It seems that lately that are more plane crashes and close calls than we have had in a while. There are many stories of musicians dying in plane crashes but what we have here are stories of survival over multiple crashes and air mishaps."

Rock School - 03/16/25 (British Copyright) Mar 06, 2025

Show notes

"This is something we should keep a good eye on. In an effort to become a leading force in AI the government in the UK is strongly considering rewriting their copyright laws to allow all copyrighted material including music to be offered fully to all AI companies. I know it sounds fake but it is not."

Rock School - 03/09/25 (Musicians and Autoimmune) Feb 27, 2025

Show notes

"Brian Setzer of the Stray Cats announced he is dealing with an unnamed autoimmune disease that has taken his ability to play guitar. This is certainly not the first time something like this has happened. We have a list of musicians who are in a battle that has taken away their ability to play."

Rock School - 03/02/25 (Limp Bizkit Lawsuit) Feb 20, 2025

Show notes

"Fred Durst and the members of Limp Bizkit have brought a rather substantial lawsuit against their record company for unpaid royalties. I know it is Limp Bizkit but the suit goes back to before streaming to when artists had lousy deals and if it is upheld in court, could lay bare much of what was going on in the 90s."

Show notes

"It seems impossible that a judge in Brazil could stop streaming services worldwide from playing a song due to a copyright concern. That is what is happening now to Adele. If other countries stand by the injunction then it could have a rather wide ranging concerns."

Rock School - 02/16/25 (My New Book) Feb 06, 2025

Show notes

"I wrote a book. It is titled We Will Try and Get That On For You. My Life in Personality Radio. It is a memoir of radio in the 80s and 90s when I did it for real. In this show we will tell you where you can get it and play some excerpts from the Audible audio version."

Rock School - 02/09/25 (Music and the LA Wildfires) Jan 30, 2025

Show notes

"The LA Wildfires have devastated multiple communities. The number of not only musicians but producers and orchestras and studios and engineers affected is vast. There are some big names but mainly those who simply made their living in music. We will talk about it and how you can help if you wish."
