Rock legend MEAT LOAF has vowed never to play at another "stupid" English music festival, because the crowds are too rowdy. The Bat Out of Hell hitmaker once took to the stage of one U.K. festival with fellow American rockers Jefferson Starship, but he was left so unimpressed by the audience’s behaviour, he has refused to [...]

I'm not sure the Beatles are the right comparison. I'm thinking John Cougar vs. John Mellencamp vs. John Cougar Mellencamp. Or Starship vs. Jefferson Starship vs. Jefferson Airplane. All I know is that we build this city ... and we better not tear it down.

Today I received an envelope written in a careful but fluid hand, and started to open it before I noticed it had no return address, except for this: Inside, I found a “zine”, a small self-published chapbook of artwork and writing by Micheal Dingler a.k.a. Rex of NoLa Rising, founder of New Orleans’ insurgent public [...]

My friend sang a Karaoke rendition of "We Built This City" by Jefferson Starship on Saturday night. Since then, this horrible song has popped into my head every time I make the mistake of turning my ipod off. Dumb songs that have the propensity of getting stuck in your head have a name apparently, earworms . The good people at Radiolab , my and Ira Glass' favorite show on public radio, have compiled...

This episode from the second season was written by Steve Kampmann and Peter Torokvei and guest-stars Bert Parks, a brilliant choice to play Herb's father, Herb Sr. ] Tonally, this episode is odd, not exactly dramatic but a little subdued, almost like the "dramedy" format Hugh Wilson would help create with Frank's Place. What I like about the way the story plays out is that even though a story like...

Recommended The Product: It's never easy for a group to reinvent itself, especially when fans demand the band they love stay, in essence, unstuck in time. There have been some successful examples - Jefferson Airplane parlayed its '60s acid trippiness into Jefferson Starship's '70s album oriented rock (let's just avoid the schlock '80s entry Starship all together, shall we?). In more modern music industry...

I see that the 43rd incarnation of Jefferson Starship is in the area. A couple of them are going to be at West Music today, and they are playing at the What Cheer Opera House, of all places, tomorrow night. Grinnell on Sunday, I think. Marty Balin is the only band member left from any 60's/70's version of the band, and I believe he only performs with the group every once in a while.
