Happy Birthday Paul McCartney!! 83 years young.

One of my favorite Paul McCartney quotes... "None of us wanted to be the bass player. In our minds he was the fat guy who always played at the back."

Tune into Steve Gorman Rocks tonight for a little birthday celebration.

We’re talking this guy on the show tonight. The man that took over for Ringo Starr, Jimmie Nichol. He played in Ringo’s place for 8 shows in 1964. This is him on his journey back to…. Well, not being in The Beatles.

This 1925 T-bucket and 1955 Chevy 210 sedan stopped by our store in Carroll, IA. Which one would you be driving?

Tough news as Billy Joel announced his recenet diagnosis of a brain condition called Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus.

Billy Joel wrote on Instagram"This condition has been exacerbated by recent concert performances, leading to problems with hearing, vision, and balance."

All concerts have been cancelled. Our hearts go out to Billy Joel.

5/23/1979: Tom Petty refused to be bought and sold—so instead, he filed for bankruptcy.

At the time, Petty had very little to show financially for the two hit albums he’d already released. With songs like Breakdown and American Girl, you’d think he’d be rich. But he wasn’t. Why? Because the first record deal he ever signed wasn’t exactly a smart one.

So when Shelter Records was bought out by industry giant MCA, Petty saw a chance to free himself from that contract. And—like all record companies when money’s involved—they put up a fight.

Petty’s response? “I will not be bought and sold like a piece of meat.”
He refused to let MCA release his album and fronted over $500K to record it himself, planning to release it independently.

Eventually, the label came to their senses and let him out of the deal. But it didn’t stop there. They ended up creating an entirely new subsidiary just to re-sign him—this time to a $3 million contract.

Tom Petty really was that guy.

4/30/1976: Keith Moon paid nine cab drivers to block off both ends of a street in New York so he could throw the contents of his hotel room out of the window. Why? No idea. But hey, at least he was looking out for pedestrians. I think that’s what they call a gentleman?
