Hi
folks,
Yes, I'm
still here, just crazy times unfortunately, the day job is no fun at all these
days, too bloody stressful ...
Funny, I
talk to mates back home and they say, why do you work such long
hours?
I tell
them, it's Corporate America, didn't Boston tell us that on their last studio
album?!
Working
in automotive these days is just so cut throat,
shame.
Anyway,
on with the news folks.
I'm off
to see Michael Schenker tonight (Wednesday), with David Van Landing singing,
hoping it'll be a good one, it will have to be to match the gig earlier this
year!
Cheers
folks,
Al

Are the Rolling Stones perhaps calling time, finally?
The Rolling Stones are perhaps giving a hint that their touring days are over, with the announcement that they will be playing four special shows at the end of the year.
Two of the shows will be in London, at the O2 arena in November and then they will play two more shows in the US at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
The dates are the 25th and 29th at the O2 arena in London and the 13th and 15th December in New Jersey.
The band has just released a new single, 'Doom and Gloom,' from their forthcoming latest album 'Grr!' to be released in November.
The album has an absolutely terrible cover ... See for yourself:
The band issued a press release announced all the details through a You Tube video here:
