Michelle Bachmann Pettiness

Michelletom
Michele Bachmann hasn't exactly gotten her campaign off to the best start. It's bad enough to confuse movie legend John Wayne with serial killer John Wayne Gacy and crazily insist that John Quincy Adams was a founding father at the age of nine – but now she's gone and pissed off Tom Petty. The Minnesota congresswoman played "American Girl" yesterday when she walked onstage at a rally, and Rolling Stone has confirmed reports that Petty's management team immediately sent the Bachmann campaign a cease and desist letter.

Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann is ignoring rocker Tom Petty's plea for her to drop his American Girl hit as her rally anthem. HERE
Who will let Michele Bachmann use their song? Well, Ted Nugent, for one. HERE ...hmmmm...perhaps 'Wang Dang Sweet Poontang'?

Father's Day 2011

R.I.P.: Clarence Clemons

"It is with overwhelming sadness that we inform our friends and fans that at 7:00 tonight, Saturday, June 18, our beloved friend and bandmate, Clarence Clemons passed away. The cause was complications from his stroke of last Sunday, June 12th.

Clarence lived a wonderful life. He carried within him a love of people that made them love him. He created a wondrous and extended family. He loved the saxophone, loved our fans and gave everything he had every night he stepped on stage. His loss is immeasurable and we are honored and thankful to have known him and had the opportunity to stand beside him for nearly forty years. He was my great friend, my partner, and with Clarence at my side, my band and I were able to tell a story far deeper than those simply contained in our music. His life, his memory, and his love will live on in that story and in our band."

- Bruce Springsteen

Rosie Flores' Campaign for Janis Martin

Kickstarter is a website where anyone can pitch their latest project, set a financial goal and then watch and wait to see if enough fans are willing to chip in to get it off the ground. It’s the route that veteran roots rocker Rosie Flores has turned to as she works to finish an album she started four years ago that she calls “the best work I’ve ever done” — and Flores barely sings or plays on it.

It’s an album she has produced with '50s rocker Janis Martin, who was labeled “the female Elvis” for her energetically physical performance and vocal style. She and Wanda Jackson were among the very few women who delved headlong into the exuberant rockabilly music that Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, the Burnette Trio and others created such a stir with at the birth of what soon became known as rock 'n' roll.
