Way back in July, I was lucky enough to attend the 2007 Crossroads guitar festival, held right here in the Chicagoland area. Just recently, I finally got the check out the DVD release to commemorate this unique concert event. There were tons of great performances that day, so I’ve been looking forward [...]

After considerable internal debate I want to run an idea past you all. You see I’ve been posting five days a week for over a year now and I’ve come to an important conclusion: my writing sucks. There isn’t any reason to sugar coat this, it really does suck some days. This issue is my first draft of [...]
I apologize for the lateness of today's link dump, as I was busy earlier this morning...It's official. Lloyd Carr retired as the head coach of the Michigan Wolverines. For only the 2nd time in many of our lives, Michigan will be conducting an all out, nationwide, coaching search. For fans of the Wolverines, this may be the scariest period ever as a fan, thanks to the nagging fear that's in the back of all our minds. That a bad hire could send Michigan into the sort of death spiral seen at other traditional power schools, as seen at Alabama, Nebraska, and Notre Dame.The last time you could consider the Wolverines mediocre was in the early to mid 60's, the Bump Elliot years. The vast majority of Michigan fans have no idea what it would be like if there was a long stretch of down seasons. It's happened to every other school you would consider elite. USC. Oklahoma. Texas. Miami. Penn State. Damn near everyone but Michigan.You youngsters have NEVER seen anything like an under .500 season fr
This news was pretty easy to see coming, but I’m still glad to have it confirmed. This year’s Crossroads Guitar Festival, which was held right around Chicago, is going to be available on DVD this November 20th.
If you happened to see the original Crossroads DVD set, expect more great jams, incredible guitar playing [...]
BRUSSELS, Belgium -- Ukraine finds itself at a crossroads in its relations with NATO. One path could lead to membership and offers Ukraine the prospect of becoming a westward-looking European state, protected against threats to its sovereignty and national security.

It’s amazing to think how quickly yesterday’s event went by. I was lucky enough to attend the second Crossroads Guitar Festival organized by Eric Clapton which had the gates opening early in the morning, the concert scheduled to start at noon and was slated to run until 11PM that night. I arrived at the festival at roughly 11AM, and before I knew it… it was 11PM and I was walking out, in awe of some of the amazing performances I had just witnessed.
The day started with a small band playing on the village stage. I’m not entirely sure who they were because I came in during the middle. This was an unexpected treat though, as there were definitely some good players and the band was pretty hot too, tearing it up with some great blues jams… including a number of guest guitarists and an appearance by Jeff “Skunk” Baxter.
A good start to a day of great rock and roll.
Bill Murray was the emcee for the day and it wasn’t long before he was on sta
Today I’ll be spending roughly 11 hours at one of the biggest concerts of the year, Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Festival, 2007. I was lucky enough to get tickets a number of months back and have been anticipating the action packed lineup for some time now, especially when I received the reminder email from TicketMaster that said concert to start at Noon and end at 11PM, and that the gates open at like 8 or 9 in the morning…
Almost an entire day hours of guitars, guitarists, music, and great concert jamming… That sounds like heaven to someone as obsessed with music, concerts, rock and roll, and guitars as me… should be one heck of a good time.
This gathering of musicians, mainly guitarists, is to benefit Clapton’s Crossroads Antigua Rehabilitation Center and includes quite a lineup. The latest listing I’ve seen comes from Rolling Stone and is as follows:
Eric Clapton
Jeff Beck
Doyle Bramhall II
Robert Cray
Sheryl Crow
Vince Gill
Buddy Guy
