Lenny Kravitz rockin' on

I hope I'm not getting ahead of myself, but the new Lenny Kravitz album "It is Time for a Love Revolution" sounds really really good. Normally I take a few listens before an album grows on me, but this one didn't take long. Hope the feeling doesn't go away too soon either.

Anyway, the music world needs more of such rock bastions to keep rock alive among all the black and pseudo-black rap that's filling the airwaves.

Why don't you all F-F-F.....


Truly, Rock and roll never dies.




The oldest and "greatest" rock band in the world - meet The Zimmers and their
amazing cover of The Who's "My Generation".
Lead singer Alf is 90 - it's quite something when he sings "I hope I die before I get old". And he's not the oldest - there are 99 and 100-year-olds in the band!

The Zimmers will feature in a BBC TV documentary being aired in May 2007. Documentary-maker Tim Samuels has been all over Britain recruiting isolated and lonely old people - those who can't leave their flats or who are stuck in rubbish care homes.
The finale of the show is this group of lonely old people coming together to
stick it back to the society that's cast them aside - by forming a rock troupe
and trying to storm into the pop charts.

Some massive names from the pop world have thrown their weight behind The Zimmers... The song is produced by Mike Hedges (U2, Dido, Cure), the video shot by Geoff Wonfor (Band Aid, Beatles Anthology), and it was recorded in the legendary Beatles studio 2 at Abbey Road.


What can I say ... wow! Rock's no.1 anthem sang by the old fogies.

Anyways, here's The Who's live performance.... you can really see why they brought live rock to a new level .....
