Rockblog

I’m back from my Phoenix trip. The Eagles lost, which sucked, but I still had a good time.

The winners of the Entrecard competition are:

Southern Metal Reporter - http://southernmetalreporter.today.com/

and

Life With Mom - http://caregivingdaughter.today.com/

These were the only two who bothered to answer the question, which makes me wonder if the rest of the Entrecard droppers even read any of the blog posts? Other bloggers dropped more than either of these two while I was away, but none of them left a comment and answered the question. Why not?

Anyhow, congrats to both and 150 EntreCard credits have been transferred to your accounts.

This is still the Rockblog and since I’m back, I’ll give you Aerosmith performing “Back in the Saddle”on New Year’s Eve 1984 at the Orpheum in Boston. Joe Perry and Brad Whitford had just re-joined the group at this point. I saw Aerosmith earlier that year with replacements Jimmy Crespo and Rick Duffay still on guitar. Thanks to YouTube user EAGLEVIEW08 for uploading this.

The Rockblog has been quiet for the last few days. I wish I could say it was because I was too busy enjoying the cheer of the festive season. But the truth is I’ve not been feeling well this week. Started with a runny nose on Monday night and by Tuesday night I felt like I was a fixing to die.

I went online Wednesday morning to score some AC/DC tickets for Wembley Stadium in June, but other than that I’ve have spent the rest of the last three days blowing my nose, coughing up phlegm, and sleeping.

I’ll leave it to Aerosmith to let you know how I’ve been feeling. Here’s a live clip from Houston in 1977 of the band playing “Sick As A Dog” from the Rocks album. If there’s anybody out there who only knows Aerosmith from their 80’s and 90’s hits, I suggest you go check out some of the band’s 70’s albums. They all rock.
