What??? No one set to induct Todd yet? I
WANNA DO IT! He has some great songs … 100s of faves!!! One of my
many rock heroes! So glad he made it!!!
I'd have lots of onomatopoeia in my
story!!!

I would guess Ringo might induct Todd so that the
BEATLES could have yet another tricky reuniting onstage?
Clark Besch
Now THAT would make for an awesome site
to see!!! (Now all of a sudden a $500
ticket doesn’t sound so bad!!! Lol) I
dunno … it could happen … Todd certainly has done his fair share of All-Starr
Review shows over the years! (And just
recently toured as part of the Tribute to The White Album show.) “Let It Be”
just hit the streets … and the “Get Back” six hour film is only a month away …
You just may be on to something
here! (kk)
Speaking of Todd …
Newly Inducted
Rock Hall Member TODD RUNDGREN Releases Neo-Funk Collaboration With THE ROOTS!
In early 2011, as Todd Rundgren was
promoting an upcoming tour, he stopped by Late Night With Jimmy Fallon for live
performances of two songs from his classic 1972 album Something/Anything,
“I Saw The Light” and “Couldn’t I Just Tell You.” Backing Rundgren for both
songs was Fallon’s long running house band, hip hop auteurs The Roots. The
appearance marked the beginning of a furtive cross-cultural, cross-generational
collaborative relationship born of mutual respect and admiration that would be
repeated again in 2017 when Rundgren sat in with The Roots on a taping of the
Fallon show. Now, these two musical giants reunite on a studio recording, a
track that will appear on Rundgren’s upcoming Space Force album
coming next year. The new single, “Godiva Girl,” is a delectable slice of
neo-funk sweetness with a stellar, soulful groove, decorated with warm
keyboards and smooth as silk background vocals. It’s the kind of rich musical
confection that fans of both Rundgren and The Roots knew these two could cook
up together, and it’s so been worth the wait.

From Blues to Doo Wop …
Kent:
Here’s a
sign that things are slowly getting back to normal.
New York’s
long running Doo Wop Weekend is coming back, after being cancelled last
year. Previously, fans from all over the northeast would travel to this
event. In years gone by I even met fans who flew in for the two days of
shows from Phoenix and Los Angeles.
Below is
this year’s line-up.

Rock Legends Sweet Release New
Single “Everything (2021)”
Sweet (Featuring Andy Scott,
original guitarist / songwriter of “Fox On The Run” and “Love Is Like Oxygen”)
have released their new single, “Everything (2021).”
“Everything” originally appeared on
Sweet’s 2002 album “Sweetlife” … however, the band’s founding member and
guitarist Andy Scott was inspired to re-record it after witnessing the new
incarnation of his band rehearse the track live.
Andy explains, “During the
rehearsals for Sweet’s forthcoming UK tour 2021, we were trying out various
songs from our back catalogue that could be added to the set list. As soon as I
heard Paul Manzi and Lee Small’s vocals on the song ‘Everything,’ I knew that
we needed to get it down and record it as our new single.”
Commenting on the
brand new recording, “Everything 2021,” Andy Scott adds, “I think the new
version is a far superior production. It’s much closer to how I envisaged it
when I co-wrote the song back in the day.”
Watch the promotional
video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOfHRyMIiNg
Sweet’s “Everything
(2021)” was released as a single Friday, 15th October, and is available on all
the usual platforms: iTunes / Amazon
Music / Deezer / Spotify, etc.
Andy Scott is the only
surviving member of the ‘classic’ Sweet line-up following the death of former
bassist and founding member Steve Priest in 2020 aged 72. Brian Connolly and
Mick Tucker passed away in 1997 and 2002 respectively.
The three cancelled Genesis shows
scheduled for London have been rescheduled for March of 2022, leaving us a bit
surprised.
Seems like all we’ve heard about is how much pain Phil Collins is in … and how he’ll never undertake another tour …
and let's face it, it’s kinda hard to measure how much “fun” the guys may be having this early along
on the tour (they don’t hit the US until November 15th when they
perform here in Chicago), especially after being sidelined by a couple of tour
members contracting Covid-19 … but if they’re going to regroup to make up these
three London shows, does that mean that they may even add more dates to their
agenda? Only time will tell. (Oh no, wait … that’s Asia.) kk
Meanwhile, Rod Stewart has just inked a
deal to appear in his 11th year of Las Vegas residency, performing
at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace for two stretches in 2022.
Tickets will be going on sale for shows
scheduled for May 13th, 14th, 18th, 20th and 21st as well as shows
scheduled for September 23rd, 24th, 28th, 30th and October 1st. They’re billing it as “Rod Stewart: The Hits”
and the announcement comes on the heels of the upcoming release of his new
album “The Tears Of Hercules,” which hits streets November 12th. (kk)
And, from Chuck Buell, another "origins" feature ...
