Earth, Wind and Fire kaput? |

EARTH, WIND + FIRE star PHILIP BAILEY fears the funk supergroup will never fully reform because too many members have different ideas about what the band should be doing. The constantly touring SEPTEMBER hitmakers attempted a full reunion shortly after they were inducted into the Rock + Roll Hall of Fame in 2000 – but it fell flat. Bailey recalls, "When we got back together people had different agendas, objectives and views for their lives. We couldn’t really put it back together the way it was." THE EASY LOVER singer also fears he’ll never perform alongside MAURICE WHITE again after the founding force of the supergroup revealed to the world he’s suffering from neurological disorder Parkinson’s Disease. Bailey adds, "He doesn’t tour with us anymore. He hasn’t toured in years because physically he just can’t do it. "He doesn’t really sing that much… and if you haven’t sung constantly for 10 years, those muscles have to be exercised and used, so it’s not like he’s singing the way he was back in the day." But Bailey confirms White still records with the group.

BEFORE they go overseas, Arctic Monkeys are heading home to Sheffield for crunch talks with departed bassist ANDY NICHOLSON. He quit the band last month during their US tour blaming exhaustion. NICK O’MALLEY replaced him – but now Andy wants to meet Alex on home turf to ask to rejoin. My source said: “There had been tension in the band from being cooped up on the road for months. Andy had a falling out with Alex and left. “But he has missed being part of the band he founded and wants to reclaim his place back before they record their second album.”

I guess all he needed was a good night’s sleep.

The New York City Council has allocated $1.5 million in funding to construct a Hip-Hop museum in the Bronx, New York.Spearheaded by City Council member Larry Seabrook, the museum will trace Hip-Hop from its origins in the 1970’s and be used as a forum to educate future generations about Hip-Hop culture."We’re not talking about gangster rap," Councilman Seabrook told The New York Sun. "We’re talking about Hip-Hop."The new museum is part of a community center and housing development project that is being built by the nonprofit Northeast Bronx Redevelopment Corporation.The project is reportedly to consist of several floors of low-to moderate-income housing with a gymnasium, a small theater, a recording studio, and the museum.

Rock starTOM PETTY has been forced out of his home studio – by termites. The FREE FALLIN’ singer has closed down the studio in Malibu, California, after the place became infested by bugs. He explains, "We have termites in the walls. They (pest control experts) just emptied everything out and covered the wall with plastic, and they were going to blast this place with insecticides, "Of course, out of the whole home, the only room to have termites would be the studio."

Neil Young needs you! |

Hello MySpace Friends..
GlobeTV will be filming a documentary about "Living with War" and the upcoming CSN&Y tour.
And we need your help.
What we are looking for:
"People with stories or pictures of being at Woodstock or another concert tour with CSN&Y music that influenced their lives and is now influencing their children’s or friends’ lives because of similar hopes and fears about the war and the state of the country and the planet. Ideally we would try to visualize their earlier experiences with the music, their lives today and catching-up with the group and music on this summer’s tour. Having a relative or friend involved in the Iraq war, for or against or having served or about to serve would be most helpful. We would also be interested in much younger fans inspired by the music and the message more so than they would be by the younger and more contemporary music groups.
We can include those ranting against W and the war. But the richness and humanness of their perspective and story (i.e. Viet vet, parent of an Iraq war vet etc) would make their outrage more effective."
If you fall into any of these catagories.. or would just like for your voice to be heard.. Please contact RustedSister. Please DO NOT reply to this bulletin.. Please email all inquiries and any stories you have to share to:
rustedsister@gmail.com
Those of you that submit your stories and or voices will most likely be interviewed at the show you are attending. If you are not attending any shows this tour.. Other arrangements will be made.
Thank You
~peace~
