R.I.P. to Gary Moore. Best known as a solo blues guitarist, Moore also did stints with Thin Lizzy and John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. He was one of those unsung heroes who deserved much more attention and accolades than he received. The blues rock community lost one of its' best.
Also...R.I.P. to the Black Eyed Peas career after that horrible Super Bowl half-time performance. I don't say this because I'm not a fan of their music, I say it because the show was truly terrible. Sure, all the effects and light-up people looked good, but sound problems plagued the set and it never seemed to flow musically. Everyone involved should be embarrassed. Especially Slash. Hell, that was so bad it almost made Christina Aguilera look good.
Poor Christina. She even dressed up nice to sing the national anthem tonight, being very respectful of the material and position she was in. And then she botched the words. Now, in her defense, we've all forgotten words to songs from time to time-even the songs we write. And "The Star Spangled Banner" is a difficult song to sing well. It takes concentration to hit the right notes. I know, I sang it for years in school choirs. But come on, girl. You couldn't get a teleprompter? Write it on your hand? Anything? On the country's biggest stage she should have known that thing backwards and forwards and be able to sing it in her sleep. Ah well, it was still better than Roseanne Barr's version. And REO Speedwagon's too (I'd provide links here but why?).
And there's your last minute update. Back soon.
