Beginning with ‘the day the music died’ and continuing on to the present, rock and roll (and the music biz in general) has experienced more than its fair share of tragedy. Between murder, suicide, drug overdose, plane crashes and death by misadventure rock and roll has been like one gigantic Shakespearean tragedy.

The Best Driving Songs
There is nothing quite like the exhilaration of getting behind the wheel of the car, cranking up the stereo and heading out on the road, especially at night! And there’s nothing that adds more to the experience (your driving companions not withstanding!) than some good driving songs!
The Best Summer Song Ever Written
I love summer. Next to Christmas Eve and Christmas day, it’s my favourite time of the year. I also love songs about summer. I have a playlist of summer songs on my Ipod.
The Best Rock Song Of All Time
One of the things I love to do when sitting around with friends is find out what their favourites are in various categories … favourite movie, favourite actor or actress, favourite flavour of ice cream, etc. It generally stimulates some debate and it’s interesting discovering people’s tastes.
I also like to ask them what they think is the best because they are not always the same. For instance, my favourite song (Layla, by Derek & the Dominoes) and the song I consider to be the best are not the same … although, I think Layla is one of the best!
