Our last pod ended the Great 48 on a subdued note. Nirvana won handily, but voter turnout was low. Does this mean trouble for “the voice of Generation X” at the next level? We’ll know soon enough. The numbers: #3 Nirvana 56% ; #8 John Mellencamp 32%; Los Lobos 12%. On Monday we’ll launch the third phase of the Tournament of Rock – Legends, as our contest to name the greatest...

STATE COLLEGE - The rock oldies favored by the schools' respective bands are Bruce Channel's "Hey Baby" at Penn State and the McCoys' "Hang On Sloopy" at Ohio State, but the song whose title best captures the spirit of today's clash between the 11th-ranked Nittany Lions and 15th-ranked Buckeyes is "Hurts So Good," the 1982 Grammy Award-winning smash by John Mellencamp....

I certainly never gave it much of a chance of happening. So when Knight informed IU late Wednesday that he wasn't going to attend the induction I wasn't surprised in the least. As Knight said to Glass, he was afraid of how his induction would have overshadowed the ceremony for the others who were being honored. And knowing how much respect Knight has for Jerry Yeagley and trusted friend Steve Downing...

John Mellencamp sings, “I fight authority, Authority always wins.” But he can’t help himself. He’s been doing it since he was a little kid. As the song says, rebels are often told to grow up. Sometimes, they should. But sometimes, Authority ought to listen when an employee pushes back with a contrary idea. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Po47SNloMBg

Sold in America for over 60 years the line of pickups hasn’t just been a longtime symbol of Americana and its iron-clad glory.

"Bucks County" by Paul Marturano is a peppy mix of piano and guitar that can appeal to many listeners. Marturano writes piano compositions that take influences from story singers like Billy Joel, Elton John, and John Mellencamp and also delivers a soul coming out of the late 70's. Marturano's vocals are polished and project expression on each and every melodic song. His crisp and clean piano...

Yes, instead of one post, two. I noticed on Amazon that next month they will be selling a 3 DVD set of performances culled from the annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame concerts. I almost clicked on "buy." But then I found that this is an edited series, down from a 9 disc set being offered directly to the public by Time/Life. The nine discs are taken from 24 years of annual shows. They are not...
