Malcolm X Abram: Here’s a tribute to hio rock fans
Akron Beacon Journal
Interestingly nearly all the band members also write original music that they never have time to perform or record because they make a living playing someone else’s songs which makes them stuck between a (soft) rock and a (not very) hard place. ne aspect of tribute bands I enjoy is their choice of names which are often taken from a song title or song lyrics of said band with some tribute acts being more imaginative and obscure than others. The three-day festival will feature popular Led Zeppelin tribute act Kashmir (that one’s pretty easy) and Pink Floyd tribute act Several Species. (Quick name the song!) The bill is quite full so see whether you can guess the tributees. Performing will be BritBeat (Beatles) Limelight (is it Rush or a tribute to the desperation of Spencer and Stephanie Pratt to get to minute 16 of their ”fame”?) Whipping Post (duh the Allman Brothers Band bro) Ragged Glory (Neil Young) War Pigs (doesn’t every other Black Sabbath tribute band use that title?) Slowhand (some guy named Eric Clapton) Evil Ways (the world’s first Dick Cheney tribute band; relax we kid — that would be Santana) Ball and Chain (Janis Joplin or perhaps a tribute to the marriage of Jon and Kate Gosselin); and local boys the JiMiller Band who recreate Grateful Dead shows.
Adam Lambert comes out to Rolling Stone and a change has come indeed
Los Angeles Times
Striking a hot pose in a space more accustomed to the likes of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Kid Rock the singer claims a spot for himself as an openly gay man within mainstream rock 'n' roll which has always tempered gender-bending with heterosexual machismo. Through forceful insinuation (tight pants well-place brooches singing "Whole Lotta Love" and "A Change Is Gonna Come") and the ongoing insistence that it didn't matter anyway Lambert eased the pop-loving public into embracing him no matter whom he enjoyed embracing. He also played out another aspect of his ongoing revival of classic rock whose prancing frontmen and women have always projected the kind of free-floating pheromone haze that confounds specific commitments. Traditionally rock deities don't commit to gender or type; their job is to open up a fantasy space in which any fan can imagine herself as both the object of desire and the star generating all that heat. Yet rock emerged before gay liberation and though its fantasies might be pan-sexual its stated realities are usually straight. Jagger Joplin Bowie Prince even moody Kurt Cobain: Each of these legendary names cultivated an aura of openness and fluidity that mirrors the sensual effect of their music. Lambert wants to join this group; doing so he'd help bring its actual diversity out into the open.

For McDonald’s it’s been a great ride from Kids Classic to LPGA major
Philadelphia Daily News
com HAVRE de GRACE Md. – It has been some run. But after 29 years the relationship between McDonald’s and the LPGA will come to an end Sunday afternoon at Bulle Rock Golf Course. So how do you say goodbye to something that has been such a large part of your life for that long? Frank Quinn who in 1981 co-founded with Herb Lotman what started out as the McDonald’s Kids Classic has had 12 months to ponder that. It hasn’t made this week any easier. "I’m certainly going to miss it tremendously" Quinn said yesterday at what in 1994 became the McDonald’s LPGA Championship the second major on the women’s tour. "It’s the personal satisfaction you get from being involved with such a great endeavor.
