si de pe allmusic:

To mark the 30th anniversary of John Lennon's death, fans are gathering at New York City's Strawberry Fields memorial park to honor the late Beatle's legacy. Fans have come together to sing his songs and leave flowers on a mural based on his song "Imagine." Lennon was shot to death on December 8th, 1980, by deranged gunman Mark David Chapman.

Rolling Stone is set to publish a never before seen interview with John Lennon from December 5th, 1980. Although excerpts from the interview between writer Jonathan Cott and Lennon have already been published, Cott never fully transcribed the entire nine-hour interview until earlier this year. You can read the full transcript in the next issue of Rolling Stone out this Friday. [RollingStone.com]

The Walking Dead 6 (TS-19)

acum, dupa ce s-a terminat primul sezon cu excelentul, tensionatul si claustrofobul TS-19 (titul vine de la Test pacient and #), (cu repere de la Day of the Dead la Kubrick-Dr.Strangelove, 2001), pot sa afirm ca TWD e cel mai bun lucru pe care l-am vazut in TV si dovada ca zombii sunt printre noi sunt rating-urile de pe AMC, dupa cum urmeaza:

The Walking Dead" drew more than 6 million total viewers in its first 10 p.m. airing, rising to 8.1 million viewers with the addition of 11 p.m. and 1 a.m. encores. In its first airing, "The Walking Dead" pulled in 4 million viewers in the key 18-49 demo, ranking first in that demo among basic cable for a drama series.

For its truncated six-episode first season, "The Walking Dead" averaged 3.5 million viewers in the 18-49 demo, making it the most watched drama series in basic cable history for the demo.

"The Walking Dead" is far-and-away the most successful original series in AMC's history and has already been renewed for a second season. The 13-episode second season of "The Walking Dead" isn't expected to premiere until next fall.

AMC renewed The Walking Dead for a second season after only two episodes, and the show has quickly become the network's biggest hit. The show's penultimate episode drew a series-high 5.5 million viewers, more than double the average viewership of AMC's multiple Emmy winner Mad Men.

un review chul al episodului 6 aici !
si aici mai multe de la autorul comicsului si producator executiv (& writer), Robert Kirkman, care explica rumorile re; concedierea scenaristilor.
pe de lata parte daca Darabont ramine head-honcho asta e tot ceea ce conteza, in el am cea mai mare incredere, si-n Gale Ann Hurd, si-abia apoi in Kirkman care are acum sansa sa lucreze in alt medium, asa cum a avut-o si Frank Miller, dar e inca rookie in screenwriting si tv series...

& remember:

If today was not a crooked highway,
If tonight was not a crooked trail,
If tomorrow wasn't such a long time,
Then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all.
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin',
And if I could only hear her heart a-softly poundin',
Yes and only if she was lyin' by me,
Then I'd lie in my bed once again.

(Bob Dylan-"Tomorrow is a Long Time")end song of season one...
see ya all next Halloween ! til then we survive :-)

Paul Gilbert-review/clips !!!

deci la Silver Church a fost foarte diferit fatza de concertul din oct. (27) 2008 la Becker Brau ! atunci Paul venise cu nevasta japoneza la clape, acum cu niste baietzi, dintre care unul blond ( si cu voce pe stilul lui Eric Martin de la Mr. Big), Tony Spinner-chitară, voce, Craig Martini, bass, voce și Jeff Bowders-drums.

diferit, same as life is :0
au inceput la timp, deci am pierdut prima piesa pina am intrat.
au cintat mai mult tehnic la inceput, cu influentele lui de Eddie Van Halen si cu tehnica de shred guitar...de pe albumul nou, Fuzz Universe si de pe cele mai vechi, si de pe cele cu Racer X,
de la jumate au inceput cover-urile,
Roundabout (Yes de pe Fragile ! 1971)-my clip !
