En este "Mes Internacional de la Foto de Morro Pa'l Face" traemos lo que algunos de los más grandes rockstars habrían puesto en sus perfiles si fueran personas comunes y corrientes.

RIP, Barry Fey. Fey always struck me as a "rock" guy. "Rock" as a general noun where anything that could be rock was a good thing - in the way non-music fans romanticized the word rock without any true context or scrutiny. I abhor that idea of "rock" because it's akin to walking into a museum [...] The post Barry Fey, RIP: A love letter to what Denver has become. appeared first on Your Music Is Awful.com .

Filed under: The Hit List HENRY DILTZ, AFP/Getty Images When Rhode Island's Newport Jazz Festival debuted in 1954, audience members sat in neat rows of folding chairs and applauded politely for acts like Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald and the Dizzy Gillespie Quintet. Six years later, fans were so anxious to get into the festival, a riot occurred as ticket-less music lovers stormed the gates during a Ray Charles set, prompting a visit from the National Guard.

Before we go full-speed ahead into the 55th Annual Grammy Awards weekend, we're taking one last look back at the music awards show. This time, we're celebrating the men who helped make the Grammys golden. Now, this is not one big Grammy beefcake roundup (though many of the fellas featured here are quite handsome). Instead, we're focusing on the classic moments (like when Michael Jackson took Brooke Shields and Emmanuel Lewis as his guests) and perhaps long forgotten snapshots (like Maroon 5 wearing name tags on the red carpet the night they would win [...]

They're the ones that rebel against all the stupidest ideas of their elders. They're the ones who'll take care of you when you get old. And they're the ones the Wu-Tang Clan makes music for. They're also intrinsically connected to music, [...]

Hallelujah , per il sottoscritto, è una delle canzoni migliori e intramontabile nel tempo. Proprio pochi giorni fa abbiamo fatto un post sulle migliori cover mai realizzate del brano che molti, erroneamente, collegano a Jeff Buckley. Non è lui l'interprete originale del pezzo ma Leonard Cohen e la canzone è diventata talmente famosa, apprezzata e incisa successivamente da meritarsi un libro tutto suo. " The Holy or the Broken: Leonard Cohen, Jeff Buckley, and the Unlikely Ascent of 'Hallelujah " è il titolo del volume incentrato su questo classico e, all'interno, possiamo trovare [...]

Xmas eve in Dublin town, Irish singers come together to perform on Grafton street. The BONO sings DESIRE with the SINEAD O'CONNOR , the LISA HANNIGAN , the GLEN HANSARD , the PADDY CASEY , the LIAM O MAONLAI and ..

During the 12/12/12 concert, someone was bound to play “Hallelujah.” I mean, it’s like law or something at this point. Whenever anything happens, whether to celebrate or to mourn, “Hallelujah” is performed. I never expected Adam Sandler's version (nor did I want it), but I suppose that is what's interesting about the song: it has become universal to everyone but holds no shared meaning. Such songs transcend their creator; in this case, Leonard Cohen’s 1984 original was re-worked in 1991 by John Cale of the Velvet Underground for an album dedicated to Cohen’s music. However, it wasn’t until Jeff Buckley [...]

Bono is looking at the challenge facing the US economy as the Bush tax cuts expire, and frets about the fiscal cliff : “There’s real jeopardy,” Bono said Wednesday at a discussion at the World Bank with bank President Jim Yong Kim. “I’m still terrified of people wrestling the wheel of this mad lorry that they’re driving off the cliff.” Bono is afraid that the cuts made as the economy throbs through its change will hurt the poorest. Interestingly, Bono's focus is on what shouldn't be cut, rather than who should be properly taxed. [...]

U2 frontman Bono is back in action with his ONE Campaign, and he has a message to the USA - do not forget  about foreign aid. "Irish rocker and anti-poverty campaigner Bono will appeal to Democrats and Republicans during a visit to Washington this week to spare U.S. development assistance programs from cuts as Congress tries to avert the looming "fiscal cliff" of tax hikes and spending reductions early next year." The U2 lead singer's visit comes as the Obama administration and congressional leaders try to forge a deal in coming weeks to avoid the economy [...]

Filed under: The Hit List Getty Images Attention, artists: If Bruce Springsteen ever offers to write a song for you, don't get too excited -- especially if it winds up being a really good one. Because while the Boss has written several songs for other performers, he's been known to both giveth and taketh away. He's not the only one to flip-flop on song destinations. Here are several hit songs that were intended [...]
