Greatest Rock Star Ever; Morris Day!

I know a few of you out there may disagree but the overwhelming popular thought out there is that Morris Day is the greatest rock star alive today. Morris and his band The Time stand head and shoulders above all the other great rockers out there from Living Colour to Bon Jovi and even his mentor Prince! Morris invented swag before people knew about it and he was the epitome of koool. What's so good about Morris is even when he's tooting his own horn it's in a sort of self-deprecating way that lets you know he's not taking it TOOO seriously. He's so down to earth he even has fun with it though we know he's the koolest kat to ever step on the stage and rock the mic. Handsome, suave, sophisticated, but definitely full of swagg the only other rock star to come close to rating as high as he does was Mick Jagger. Were not Jagger so old he might have given Morris a run for his money, but right now at this time and this date the greatest rock star alive now is none other than the king of Kool, Morris Day.

Phil Lynott; Afro Irish rocker!

You know for years I didn't know that Thin Lizzy frontman Phil Lynott was black. Hell I didn't know they were from Ireland! I thought Thin Lizzy was an American band of Italian Americans! I also thought they were a one hit wonder and had no idea that they had such a huge catalog of hits in Europe! Whoever says there is no censorship in America is a liar, for a lot of information about what's really going on in the rest of the world is kept from Americans. It's only til the world wide web came into effect that information from the rest of the world start creeping in and we find out about the Phil Lynott's of the world.
Eitherway, I've checked out the many hits Phil Lynott charted with his band Thin Lizzy and I can say that he does deserve the title of 'Father of Irish Rock'. He was good, very good. In typical rock'n'roll fashion he died early from his abuse of drugs but he left behind quite a legacy of music. I encourage all to check out the songs of Thin Lizzy esecailly their album 'Jailbreak' which is a hardrock classic!

Ike Turner, the first rocker!

You know Ike Turner was a distant cousin of mine. No, he never showed up at the family reunions (we're all originally from Mississippi)and no we never had any in depth conversations or the like. We have an interesting family and so Ike Turner was a complex genius who was the first to record a rocknroll song at that bonehead Sam Phillips Sun studios. It was ironic that Sam Phillips helped to discover so many great artists even though he truly was an ignorant and stupid man in many regards. But without this bonehead we wouldn't have Ike and Tina Turner, BB King, Otis Blackwell, as well as elvis presely, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and the like. Aside from making his living early on recording many of the blues acts that would come to Memphis to get there start, he has the honor of being the first to put out Ike Turner and his Kings of Rhythm the very first rocknroll song ever, Rocket 88.
