Greetings from Laurel Canyon!
It’s fair to say the “dead” of winter has begun. Today it’s even in dark and cold in sunny LA. “Hear” we are I guess—pretty much ground zero for new music in 2016. Along with the classic ephemeral rock star, the most impressive sight of early 2016 has been the line up of Primavera Festival.
Wow, set in the heart of one of the coolest cities on earth, a serious dream line up for Idelic Hour fans .
Also as expected Duff, Axl, and Slash are reuniting for Coachella 2016. It’s a long shot that this “mega-reunion” will put up as many smiles as Brian Wilson performing Pet Sounds in Barca, but I’ll keep my fingers crossed.
Some of my fonder rock ‘n’ roll moments have been with these dudes. It’s almost 30 years since that cold winter week in NYC when I had the good fortune of being the band’s one friend in town.
Stay warm…xo
The Idelic Hit of the Week:
