Friday Linkafication

Two great links from the Trib's Greg Kot this week:  20 Years of Pearl Jam Quotes and Celebrating 40 Years of Soul Train in Millenium Park

The New York Times asks you to imagine the Rolling Stones without Keith

Festival!! Bands That Jam provide 5 must-see shows at this weekend's North Coast Festival in Chicago.  Enthusiatic seconding for STS9, Van Ghost & Budos Band.

This one is totally viral -- I debated including a link here or presenting it as a seperate post as a sort of inforgraphic:  The David Bowie Space Oddity children's book.  Warning: I hear there is some legal wrangling about this, so the link may be coming down soon.

From the "Bad Ideas" department:  the Blues Brothers may be resurrected as a TV show starring a tribute act.

Video Time!

Van Morrison celebrated a birthday this week.  My favorite Van tune, filmed at a time just before he felt compelled to wear a hat during each show (watch and you'll see why).
