Ellen Gray: Shatner probes for a 'Raw Nerve'
Philadelphia Inquirer (Free subscription) | 2 hours ago
She's already dished about her former marriage to rocker Eddie Van Halen, their drug use and her food issues in the best-seller "Losing It: And Gaining My Life Back One Pound at a Time," leaving Shatner, who can't seem to recognize an open book when he sees one, to focus on her Catholic upbringing and on whether she believes in heaven or hell.

Country Muzik Monday: James Otto

A lot of my big city friends hate on country music purely on principle, whether it be because of a xenophobia of southerners or a hatred of George Bush or that they never forgave CBS for giving us Coy and Vance or what have you. There are a few country artists with more of [...]

M83 glistens in the Starlight

... suited to the quintessentially 1980s flicks of someone like director John Hughes.It was akin to Eddie Van Halen playing keyboards on "Jump": weird, angering, then joyous. The confectioner's-sugar whispers, digital drum slams, and layered synthesizer lines of "Kim & Jessie," live and large, were shocking, as much an effervescent epiphany as it a rude awakening. Suddenly, there was...

Married ...with dinner (Free subscription) | 09/11/2008
(c)2008 Married ...with dinner -- all rights reserved Knowledgeable guitarists say that tone is in the fingers. In other words, if I were to play Eddie Van Halen’s guitar through his stage rig, I would sound like… Cameron playing Eddie Van Halen’s guitar. I wouldn’t look like him either, even though I can make all the [...]

From there it's any one's guess. 18 songs in all. Plenty of opportunities for greatness and everything else. Can't Wait Anymore rocks and Young Soldier brings a bitter tear to the eye. Thank...

Howard Stern and his gang were discussing their top guitarists the other day. Howard’s top three? #1: Jimi Hendrix. #2. Eddie Van Halen. #3: Leslie West. It’s pretty hard to argue against Jimi, but from there, all bets are off. Everyone’s got their opinion. Howard likes his Van Halen and he loves his Mountain from [...]

Chris Perricelli of Little Man on Music and Arts Education
Culture Bully (Free subscription) | 21/10/2008

Ever since I bought my guitar at age thirteen I’ve been creative in coming up with my own songs.
