The lead singer for that high school band “White Rock,” who portrayed Henry Higgins in the spring 1980 Antigo High School Drama Club’s production of “My Fair Lady,” had the Japanese radio news announcer part of this one down. It wasn’t Japanese but Bruce made it sound like it.

My introduction to this one was when I was a roadie my sophomore year in high school for a band named “White Rock” and my claim to fame there was nearly blowing the bassist’s left arm off with a flash pod I’d kinda overloaded. Oops!

Well, stick that in your fuse box … look what turns 50 today …
May 14, 1976 ~ AC/DC release High Voltage in The States. Music critics weren't impressed and took the band to task for taking rock to the basement. Rolling Stone's Billy Altman said rock hit "an all-time low" with its release. Everyone can be wrong now and then -- the album has sold well over 3 million just here in the States. #acdc #highvoltage #70srock #rockmusic #70smusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky…

“It’s the first grunge record.” ~ Keith
The Rolling Stones record the double album while living at a villa in France. They're living there to get away from British taxes -- on 'exile. Exile On Main Street is released on May 12, 1972. It's at #7 on Rolling Stone Magazine's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time."(Please bury me with this album because I can't bear eternity without it.) #therollingstones #exileonmainstreet #70srock #rock #rockmusic #music #musicsky…

One of the ways I cope with the current state of bullshit in the world is to just fuckin rock; love the crackle and pop on this as the needle makes contact with the vinyl.

Deceptive Bends
10cc release their fifth album on May 1, 1977 .. their first after founders Kevin Godley and Lol Creme left. It produced the hit The Things We Do For Love. Eric Stewart, Graham Gouldman and Paul Burgess were just fine from this album on ... not the "5cc" as the Brit Press was calling the Godley and Creme departure. #10cc #deceptivebends #70smusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #70srock #rockmusic #progressivepop #poprock #artpop

Argus
April 28, 1972. Andy Powell and Ted Turner's twin lead guitars. Life was never the same again. That "prog folk-rock" sound and the blending of medieval lyrics combined with those twin lead guitars still make a head swim. #wishboneash #argus #70srock #rock #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #andypowell #folkrock #hardrock #progreock #tedturner

London Town
Wings release their 6th on March 31, 1978. This is the "synth-heavy" era for Wings. They recorded the thing in London at Apple Studios and on a yacht in the Virgin Islands but all that didn't matter -- it was another success for Paul, Linda and Denny. #wings #londontown #70srock #rockmusic #70smusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #paulmccartney #lindamccartney #dennylaine #softrock

Look what turns 50 today …
The 7th from Led Zeppelin ~ released on March 31, 1976. It's an album created at a difficult time -- during Robert Plant's convalescence from a serious auto accident. Critics weren't too excited about it and it's the lowest selling Zepp album in the catalog. But its genius has become apparent over time. #ledzeppelin #rock #bluesrock #presence #robertplant #jimmypage #johnpauljones #johnbonham #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #70srock

Has anybody seen the bridge?
March 28, 1973 ~ Led Zeppelin release Houses Of The Holy ... a classic. Lyrically, the title refers to the arenas and auditoriums where the band performed, which they viewed as "holy" places for their fans. That's about right. The album is ranked at number 278 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. #ledzeppelin #housesoftheholy #70srock #rock #rockmusic #classicrock #music #musicsky #musiciansky #robertplant #jimmypage…

Amigos
Santana release their 7th on March 26, 1976. This is the album that had them moving towards a more accessible radio sound blending Latin rock, funk, and R&B while moving away from the experimental jazz fusion of the band's previous few records. : This was the first album to feature lead vocalist Greg Walker and the last to include original bassist David Brown. #santana #amigos #70smusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #70srock #rockmusic #carlossantana #rock #rnb…

“Back To The Clubs”
March 21, 1971 ~ Led Zeppelin made a stop at the Boat Club in Nottingham, England during their "Back To The Clubs" tour. It was -- and still is -- a rowing club and intimate music venue. One can only imagine The Zepp in their prime in that setting. #ledzeppelin #70srock #rock #rockmusic #robertplant #jimmypage #johnpauljones #johnbonham #music #musicsky #musiciansky

Dressed To Kill
Kiss release their third album on March 19, 1975. This is the one that includes their anthem "Rock 'n' Roll All Nite." The cover is famous for depicting the band members in business suits while wearing their signature makeup. Peter Criss was the only member who owned a suit; the others had to borrow theirs from the band's manager, Bill Aucoin. The album's only 30 minutes in length ... which was fine for some. #kiss #dressedtokill #70srock #rockmusic…

The Idiot
Released on March 18, 1977, The Idiot is the debut solo album by Iggy Pop. It was produced and largely co-written by David Bowie and, as Iggy called it ... "a cross between James Brown and Kraftwerk." The album is hailed as a foundational blueprint for post-punk, industrial, and gothic rock. It was the album playing on Joy Division singer Ian Curtis's turntable the night he died. #iggypop #theidiot #70srock #rockmusic #70smusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky…

The snow had melted completely from ondeck then a few days ago, a couple of inches fell and last night, a few more inches came down. It subsided for a bit but there’s a 90 percent chance for more today and it just showed up as a blizzard warning takes effect at 10 a.m. “Chicago time” today - between 20 and 30 inches possible by tomorrow and I think my hot water heater just took a dump (Yay!) I’m reminded of a tune from 1973.
