OTHER NOODLES
– Lynyrd Skynyrd’s final concert with founding guitarist Gary Rossington will screen in movie theaters across the U.S. in July. The concert film, titled “The 50th Anniversary of Lynyrd Skynyrd,” will celebrate the band’s enduring legacy, while also honoring Rossington, who died on March 5.
– Rod Stewart has clarified comments he recently made about abandoning rock music. “I’m not retiring,” he said in a BBC interview earlier this month. “But I want to move on to … I had great success with “The Great American Songbook,” all-American standards, and I’ve just done a swing album with Jools Holland, which is going to come out next year, so I want to go in that direction. I just want to leave all the rock ‘n’ roll stuff behind — for a while, maybe.”
– Richie Sambora has emphatically denied any current plans for a reunion with Bon Jovi, despite a recent flurry of rumors to the contrary.
– Bruce Springsteen has recorded a follow-up to his 2022 soul covers album “Only the Strong Survive,” keyboardist David Sancious said. “I’ve just worked on Bruce’s sequel,” Sancious said. “He’s got 18 more covers of Motown and classic R&B. And next year, I should be touring the album with Bruce.”
You Say: Enough already!

Someone comes up to you and asks you what popular saying annoys you.

“air you can wear” referring to high humidity.

That’s a chalkboard scratcher.
I have found that, often the people who say they are “keepin’ it real” are rarely, keeping any such thing.
Bill, I have almost unilaterally found the exact same thing.
When discussing bbq ribs, “It falls right off the bone!”
????????????????????????????
Couldn’t agree MORE!
No offense but… usually means you are about to offend me and you know it!!
Absolutely correct, Ron… That is one of my (Andy’s) most hated prefaces.
Amazing!!! people who say amazing at the drop of a hat all the time don’t really know what is really amazing, going to the middle of woop woop where there are no town or city lights and looking up at the night sky now that is fecking Amazing…
The power of certain words is diluted not only by overuse but in their acceptance at being used in completely underwhelming and out-of-context situations.
Good call, Ellen.
After my husband Roderick died I heard “he’s in a better place.” Are you kidding me? ???? Please go away!
