I'm still working on putting my thoughts into words, but all I know is I can't stop crying. I'll update the blog when I've had a chance to wrap my mind around ... http://therocknrollpictureshow.com/2012/blindsided-and-devastated-by-grief?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=blindsided-and-devastated-by-grief They say that people tend to go through a major life change every seven years. Welp, I've hit a big turn in my own life's road. This blog hasn't been updated since I last posted in July regarding the death of Amy Winehouse. Since that time, I see things through completely ... http://therocknrollpictureshow.com/2012/life-changed-me?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=life-changed-me [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="800" caption="Amy Winehouse - Image from Island Records, UK"][/caption] This weekend I learned of the passing of British soul singer Amy Winehouse (1983-2011).

Petaluma, CA. I'd never heard of it before this trip. It's about an hour or so north of the Bay Area, a part of CA I'd never explored before. So I hopped in the rental car, and drove through the scary torrential rain to the rolling ... http://therocknrollpictureshow.com/2011/another-trip-west-of-texas-part-2-feb-18-19-2011?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=another-trip-west-of-texas-part-2-feb-18-19-2011 THE FRUSTRATORS!! I love New Jersey. I do, really. I love a lot of things about where I live. But sometimes, California calls my name. And once she starts calling, it's only a matter of time before I eventually break down, give in and go for a visit. So that's what I ... http://therocknrollpictureshow.com/2011/another-trip-west-of-texas-part-1-feb-18-19-2011?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=another-trip-west-of-texas-part-1-feb-18-19-2011 [caption id="attachment_949" align="alignleft" width="800" caption="Beth and Alex on the grand staircase of the Tuscany Inn"][/caption] Beth and Alex got married on a positively spectacular day back in May. I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day (or bride, for that matter!).

First I need to be more diligently updating this thing, because I have SO much to post. I've been a crazy insane-o person this year, working more than I ever have in my life and doing fun rocknroll things that prevent ... http://therocknrollpictureshow.com/2010/beautiful-things-exist-in-asbury-park-and-honah-lee?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=beautiful-things-exist-in-asbury-park-and-honah-lee [caption id="attachment_894" align="alignleft" width="840" caption="Joe's still the man."][/caption] This Sunday I had a whirlwind day up in New York City.

The space was small, hot and sweaty, but it was an awesome show. ... http://therocknrollpictureshow.com/2010/honah-lee-gets-the-cops-called-9-2-10?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=honah-lee-gets-the-cops-called-9-2-10 You may or may not have heard of Prima Donna, hailing from Los Angeles. If you haven't heard their particular brand of sixties-ish Sonics era garage inspired rocknroll, do yourself a favor and change that. Like, right now. It's okay, go. I'll wait.
