The first pop/rock act I ever saw live was Greg Kihn. Which seems appropriate given how much of my identity has turned out to be wrapped up in growing up in the SF Bay Area. This is the video for the first single from his '85 solo album. If memory serves, the woman in it later became his wife, but still later they divorced. Greg's a DJ now and also an author. I remember being struck by how different...

Bruce Springsteen: Chapter 4. Born To Run made Bruce Springsteen a star, yet nearly three years would pass before his next release, Darkness On The Edge Of Town.It is interesting to reflect upon the scope of Springsteen's back catalogue, noting the variations in his musical vision as well as how he maintained his artistic integrity and expanded his commercial appeal. His...

THAT was the question that many people were asking Friday morning, the day after Summit 13. No doubt about it - our "President of Radio" generated buzz. Of course, my point of view is a bit skewed, but I have to tell you that this year's panels actually lived up...

The political season is heating up, the competition was fierce, the rhetoric was sharp, and the internal debate at Jacobs Media was intense. But at the end of the day, the winner of our "Citizen President" competition is B96 night personality, Julian Nieh. It wasn't easy. We got some great...

Jon Rubin and Tommy Dunbar formed the group as middle school students in Berkeley, California in 1973. In 1975, the group (now including Donn Spindt and Royse Ader) signed with Beserkley Records, an independent Berkeley...
