Rock Trivia Part II

So, I had a friend (let's call him "Yo-Your Blog is Wrong") email me today about Mike + The Mechanics.  This is my attempt to put the record straight.  Mike Rutherford (which is also the name of my childhood  BFF's dad--The cat's name's sake's father) left Genesis to create a new band, and is expained in further detail here:

     It was a solo project for Mike Rutherford, bassist/guitartist for Genesis. Basically he got tired of sitting around with his thumb up his [rear-end] every time Phil Collins wanted to make a solo record so he decided to do something on his own as well.

Thank you, "Yo-Your Blog is Wrong", for the information.  I wouldn't want to be mistaken for a crazy dog of the female gender co-worker with the same last name.  Yo, "Yo-Your Blog is Wrong",You're Pretty & Smart.

Rock Trivia Anyone?

The other night I was driving home with my husband. I was reminded with great enthusiasm that James is a true music fan. Here is some rock trivia that I was made aware of.

1. The band Starship was formerly Jefferson Starship which was formerly Jefferson Airplane. All three bands had hit songs. There was a great evolution in the musical sound from Jefferson Airplane to Starship. All three had hit songs.
2. Mike + The Mechanics used to be Genesis. When Phil Collins went solo the lead guitar & bassist of Genesis came up front to lead the new band Mike + The Mechanics.
3. One of the best guitar solos of all time, according to James was in Guns 'N Roses song November Rain.

Thanks James! You're pretty & smart.
